Thanks for the info! I just really need to figure out how to keep my HoTs rolling when being focused so hard >.< I did some more matches last night with regular WZs and my HPS was much higher (yay starparse!). I even resulted to convincing my one assassin friend to help me with kiting as he beat on me (for some reason this wasn't very difficult to convince him of lol). I'll read over the guide you provided though and report back on my progress ^_^

So let me start out by saying I am a healer at heart. I have done lots of Sorc/Sage and Merc/Commando healing in both PvP and PvE, had a ball doing it. This Season though I decided to do something new to me: Operative. I have played them before, but never anything too serious in PvP. What I am looking for is guidance in survivability when solo queueing for ranked PvP. I found that I seem to have difficulty when I get 2-3 DPS/tank on me and I simply can't get away. I know that healers are meant to be focused, but I feel I am doing something wrong. Here is what all tools I am utilizing: -LoS as much as possible -Rolling only once to save my second roll if needed -Using evasion to clear the DoTs my cleanse can't -Using my shield on cool down -Using my slow on cool down -Using my flash bang to interrupt key abilities -Stealth out if all else fails and I need to cleanse I know my HPS is a bit low, but I manage to put out about 2.2k HPS/match. Does anyone have any good videos or tricks of the trade to provide?

Isn't it obvious? We need Kai Zyken's log mount with 0% movement speed! I would say in all seriousness now, but a log mount would be hilarious in game. Here is my list of other great ideas: Wampa with a backpack carrying someone Mini versions of class ships Ancient transportation vehicles ie: vehicles with a single hover pad pulled by an animal (taun taun would be a cool reskin for the creatures) Multi personel transporters (more than 1 person riding if practicable) Racer series of speeders (higher speeder speed with lower or minimal protection) Speeder dyes (I think being able to re-dye speeders like we can with armor would add a cool dimension and more uniqueness) Cosmetic speeder animations (like shooting lasers for a tank or star fighter)

This would definitely make it easy xD

I've been thinking a bit about this whole 5% increase with the set bonus. When this is said is it referring to a more moderate casual player who may not know his or her rotation well, a player who lives and breathes the commando healing discipline, or somewhere in between? Where on the bell-curve is this falling? I only ask this because one set bonus could be used more effectively than another based on that skill level. So a 5% increase for the middle of the pack person, or peak of the bell-curve, could end up being a 7-8% increase for someone closer to the far right of the bell-curve (just as an example). So I guess the question really should be then: should the set bonuses be more skilled based or should they simply make healing easier on the player?

I just had a thought! We could actually be productive on this thread

Heals + Rifle = negligible loss of heals. Since all the rifles in the game look so much better...that's why. DPS Commandos that are using rifles are just cray-cray.

Honestly I feel our set bonuses are pretty dang good right now. That being out of the way now I shall go to my dream 6-piece set bonus! 6-Piece: Kolto bomb refreshes the charges of Trauma probe on all effected targets to full. This effect may only occur once every 30-seconds. I am betting that this would push HPS beyond the 5% desired though :/ I am just a simple healer though with a dream ^_^

I really love these changes that are being implemented. Do we know if there will be additional achievements for the different levels in operations? So 50, 55, 60, and 65 would all be separate achievements? That would be awesome and a fun way to incentives players to redo some content. Personal I am really looking forward to being able to do my favorite raid ever again and not be able to two man it, SOA will wish he stayed asleep for a thousand more years to come > Also making it so I may queue with my friends who are leveling new characters, while I am on my 65, is an AWESOME addition to this game. I feel the game will be able to grow very well from this.

Even though I totally forgot to post THE JEDI ORDER's progression, I think that a thread should be kept. I actually have the videos now and just need to remember to post them once the new thread is started.

Awesome thanks! Will get the videos uploaded and probably make the post tomorrow.

So I have a bit of a question here.... THE JEDI ORDER community is into progression and just downed Bulo HM last night (videos to come shortly). The thing is we are made up of multiple guilds and our prog team doesn't have 75% players from only one guild. We have 4 members from THE JEDI ORDER, 3 members from Republic Privateers and 1 member from | v V v | (not affiliated with THE JEDI ORDER). Since 7 of the 8 members are all from the same community of guilds, will that count?

It's best to go with someone who can peel for you like a shadow tank or vanguard tank. Anything will work though. It is much better to accept the fact you are both healer and tank in PvP though. It isn't uncommon to have 900k-2mil (depending on the match) damage taken.

All I can think to say is... #FallenEmpire 6.15.15

I would buy it in a heart beat IF the engine was a proper well tested engine. Give the developers more freedom to develop better content for us to enjoy

Well I guess I know what chairs my new DK stronghold will have. LOL

Wow this is seriously awesome! Makes me think of Halo 4 and how they did a episodes of content in their spartan ops revealed slowly overtime. I approve of this

/approved

It all is opinion really. My favorite items so far have been crafted...probably why I have blown through so many materials lol. Besides the cartel market items you can typically buy on the GTN after a day or two from release

Is there ever going to be a lowbie PvP one again?

No, I did not mean to nor do I know how I did it. 0.0

No reason to not have more than an additional spec. Multi-spec would be an excellent addition to have! Just figure ask low and see where it goes

Have we ever got an answer on duel specs for classes? I can't explain how helpful I believe this would be in operations or simply just messing around. For example I hate it when I have to swap from heals to DPS or DPS to heals on my commando. Having to clear all my skills, reset them, swap out most of my gear manually, and then do it all again to swap back to my original spec. I understand there may be difficulties around doing this, but I believe it would be greatly beneficial for players to have this. Here are some that I can think of off the top of my head. PvE to PvP specs Tank to DPS and back (for those operation boss fights that don't always need an off tank.) Heals to DPS and back When testing different specs Utility in operations swapping from single target to a more AOE based spec Even if it would cost something crazy like 1,000 cartel coins, I know I would purchase this on at least 4 of my 55s as I would use it all the time.

Ohh gotta love this! Stuff in game: Republic Propaganda posters on Coruscant as found in the Justicar Territory. Republic 6-Legged walkers as found on various planets (Ord Mantel being an example) Model Starships Personal GSF starfighters for display (Would be awesome to have my flashfire on a landing pad or in a garage.) Not currently In Game Showers! (I say this only because nowhere in the known swtor galaxy is there a shower! must be some stinky Jedi!) Unique storage units (allowing for individual items to be stored in a cabinet, nightstand, etc...so for example a Jedi could have a cabinet with a set of robes in it or a smuggler would have a nightstand that has a small blaster stored in it.) Display Cases to allow the displaying of items like crystals, masks, unique items, etc. Galactic News Terminal: A terminal that displays current in game events, upcoming game events, 2x XP weekends, etc...
