Not really. At PVP you play versus other players (orly D: ). Guy without any PVP gear yet would be just melted by full geared people. At PVE on the other hand you can group up with players on the same level of gear which you actually have and do the operation designed for that level. If there was a queue for PVP based on your gear there would be no need for bolster, simple.

Oh come on, guy was probably carried by his guild's experienced PVE group, 3 weeks after release, and then came to forum to say us how awesome he is. Try to solo-heal hard mode progression run the very same day when the new content comes out! Seriously, if that PVE is so easy for you, Sir, please find some group and compete with SWTOR's PVE World Firsts... and then come and brag if you're able to achieve something. If not just go back to your PVP, were you must be awesome too ofc... a bit pity still not enough to let people recognize your name yet

OP, Can I be your fan please? You must be awesome!

aka proud of being noob

Nice fps.

Hahahah, good one!

DarthFamine, a free tip for you: Stop to mouseclick and keyboard turn and you're on good way to beat them. Also, if you're not full rakata yet better do EV/KP HM and ECSM to gear up. If you are then you must have some BH items already (rain of bh coms ftw). It's hard to even imagine how people in BH gear can wipe there, sorry but it seems the problem is lack of skill of your guild not the content difficulty. So stop asking for nerf when most of the people geared enough for the content have no problems with it. Sad to say but L2P.

They need a buff not nerf.

Ofc it is. I never said it isn't. -.- But the way he thinks sage's healing looks like is wrong. And yes, bubbles indeed are "oh crap" button. Using it as a regular heal (except some situation when you expect someone to get large hit) is just stupid.

Sorry to say Sir, but it seems like you have not a clue about sage/sorc healing at PVE

You are mouseclicker, Sir. Really surprising you got facerolled :|

Well done, well said.

You know that keeping anyone bubbled at HM FP is useless and pointless (what can hit you for 20k at HM FP?) and sometimes dangerous and stupid (when you need fast emergency heal but you still got bubble CD on you) :|, right?

Yeah sure, but imagine there sometimes are new players with their first 50 and they may not be able to avoid Columi by being babysitted by their guild, especially if they haven't got one yet. I'm Dread Guard geared myself and never mind to help fresh 50s to get their chances for better gear by killing bosses I could skip, even if it cost me... a few minutes! What is wrong with gear progression in my opinion is The Rain of Black Hole Coms Falling Down Everywhere made for noobs which weren't able to do ECHM in Rakata gear. Don't get me wrong, not the BH coms itself but allowing to get them so easy way. Operation level gear should be for people who do operations... what else it can be used for? People farm Black Hole (even Campaign nowadays) set just by doing daily HM flashpoint and then they think they're better then the fresh ppl just because of it. And then they cry and ask for nerfs (or better rewards ...lol, seriously? oO) on the forums because they cannot do LIHM without BH gear. Summary, I don't get it why you want to remove Columi and Rakata from gear progression (Tionese is removed already). Do you really like 2 Tiers of PvE gear in the game?

Healing LIHM in Stock Tionese is walk in a park as long as you know your class, follow the mechanic and you don't have retarded tank or untalented DPSes.

AYFKM? What's the point of rakata gear and HM EV and KP then if you can farm flashpoints in tinose/columi gear to get BH comms. Maybe make Nightmare modes of the flashpoints with BH comms not just give away the commendations to gear everyone up to q61 in less then 2 weeks... VERY, VERY BAD idea.
