The talent trees in general in this game are boring trees from other games from 4 years ago. 1% bonuses to things are not interesting or fun to get at level up.

Crit is not your best stat, its miles worse than WP, stop trying to stack it you dont really need to, yes there are things that proc off crits, but the math thats been done at the theorycrafting sites clearly shows that WP >>>>> all other stats. Show me where you get more healing power for your character with those exact same two talent points. You can't. The default 7 points out of the main healing tree are pretty standard, already.

WP is your best stat, take everything that increases it. This isnt hard.

You get two because of the terrible engine and it happens with lots of other skills and procs too. Healing as this class is fine as long as you read all your abilities and talents and use the synergies in the class has.

Priests at EJ were using haste initially, until we realized that there was no need for it since the encounters made you gear for having more mana not faster heals. We were mana constrained initially so we geared and spec'd for mana. There wasnt an issue of 'omg he died because I had slow heals' it was 'omg he died because I have no mana'. Your thread at EJ probably got deleted because you didnt read the main Priest thread that had all your answers for you. Faster heals are great, unless you dont have enough mana to finish a fight. With fixed mana pools for Sorcs in this game it's a bit different than comparing that to mana systems of other games where a guy standing next to you can have a completely different mana pool. Especially since you basically have Free Life Tap and can get mana back that way in this game too. Haste does make hots/dots tick faster, it doesnt reduce the GCD here though.

HoT / Bubble and Force Speed out of the way. It gets easier as you learn the fights more and are able to get used to keeping your head up during the fights.

It's a boring talent system overall not just that tree. Just power on through. ed. and it's not called a 'Line' it's a Talent Tree.

Right, your post almost makes sense, thanks.

Yep it's pretty bad and I agree that the patch notes were a joke. Even leaving out blatant buffs to some classes. Silly.

False. In a group roll need if its an item your main guy would use right then. Dont roll need so you steal something for your companion thats stupid. Or talk about this scenario before it happens with your group.

They cant. This old version of VBulletin they run cant handle searches, heck it cant even handle the load most of the time normally and we end up in queue just to read the forums. Searching is way harder on the forums.

Well yes, lots of the UI is bad, but this is specifically about the terrible healing UI.

I'm tired of the UI lying to me about how much health the people in my group have. You know, the exact same bug that was in the beta. This is annoying and makes healing suck even more with the other laundry list of items healers have been begging for since release.

Always just keep your ship updated to the best you can equip and buy, you know like your player. Kinda how MMOs work, stop being terrible at the easiest part of the game (space).

Go read your class thread ffs. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=778
