Agreed. Pets in WZ are a pain.

There is no shame in admitting something is wrong with combat medic. You don't have to defend it like it's your first born child.

I thought it was craftable. I bought one on the GTN, but I guess that doesn't mean anything. It could still be loot.

Excellent! Thank you.

I can't get my head around this "you have to move around" explanation to the nerf we got in 1.2. You have to be stationary to heal as a combat medic. Our two largest heals require you to stand still. The kolta bomb and other insta-heal skill is not a replacement for these two heals. When players do 1000+ in damage per hit, a heal that does less than that isn't helping. (Yes, obviously if you get a critical heal it will be for more.) To be a healer with a trooper you need to stand still. "Moving around" doesn't change the targeting system in this game. Targets are locked in and no amount of WASD smashing will "un-target" you. This is part of the RPG model. This isn't a first person shooter. The closest it comes is that you have to keep your target in front of you (by front I mean not in that 30 degree cone directly behind you). Moving around won't keep melee characters from hitting you. "Balance" dictates that ranged damage cannot be greater than melee damage. (The "P" in RPG where we pretend that bringing a knife to a gun fight isn't a stupid idea.) As a result, the only thing you can do is "try" to keep distance between you, but this is often a fruitless endeavor (see "Balance"). Healing requires being stationary, and targeting isn't affected by moving around, so what's wrong with "turret healing." Why shouldn't you be able to "turret heal" if the game is setup that way? Further, why aren't more people complaining when the changes make that setup broken?

As a healer, I'm of the opinion that healers should be able to clear all. ASIDE: Are there more than two types of immobilization skills in this game? Stun = player is unable to do anything until attacked Freeze = player is unable to do anything for a set period of time Neither are effective if a player has any resolve. Could someone point me to a better explanation of the Root, Snare and Stun skills? An explanation that doesn't use acronyms. Drives me crazy that acronyms are so prevalent in mmorpg discussions that you need the context of the sentence to know what they mean. (e.g., Smugglers are OP (over powered); OP(original poster) is a smuggler.)

Okay, I understand the general trade-in requirement, but why make Eliminator WH gear only obtainable by trading Eliminator BM gear? Why can't I trade my Combat Medic BM gear for Eliminator WH gear?

You don't understand because you didn't read anything before the third page. If you have any questions after reading my initial gripe, please let me know. Science hasn't discovered a way to reverse the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome, but I'm willing to help you cope with the hand that Jack Daniels dealt you.

Am I reading this correctly: The tier trade-in system was the compromise for eliminating the bags? I'm curious about the justification for requiring a trade-in. I don't know MMORPG mechanics well enough to come up with a good reason for this particular requirement.

I too am interested in this "participation daily."

If that was the only grind I was talking about I agree. I'm talking about having to regrind (don't let the term "regrind" fool you as I haven't even finished my first battle master grind) battle master, and THEN grind war hero.

Nooooooooooooooooo!

Who decided it was okay? It wasn't me. If I get enjoyment out of finishing my daily that's my business. We pay the same subscription fees. My enjoyment deserves the same consideration as yours.

As a casual player (i.e., when not at work or with family), it's taken a LONG time to get as far with the battlemaster gear as I have. Regrinding battlemaster gear really isn't an option for me. I don't have an account with numerous lvl 50 alts. I have a single lvl 50 with no alts even close. I'm okay with sticking with my trooper selection (even though profession flexibility isn't a new concept, cough cough SWG cough), but now I'm effectively limited in my very narrow skill tree as well? I would repeat my "What The Fahrvergnügen" from above but apparently the acronym is considered too obscene for the forum. Sad times when an acronym designed to convey a message, despite obscenity filters, is itself deemed obscene.

Yeah, unfortunately those dailies are for "Wins", and not "Participation". If you have a limited amount of time to play and you want to collect your daily what are you supposed to do? Hope for an against all odds, come from behind, Lifetime original movie, type win?
