I loved the videos i was watching them with my best friend (who refuses to watch any star wars movie) and he found them interesting and enjoyable to watch.

The math is pretty simple if you are chain casting heals for 30 seconds straight with 10% alacrity you will get 30 seconds worth of healing in 27 seconds. So not only are you casting faster you are getting more heals in the same amount of time and more times then not 1 extra heal could have saved the group from a wipe.

Professional athletes spend years of their life training and learning their trade. Which would be your so called "grind". Anyone that say's PvP isin't skill based read this to put it into perspective. if you have your toon that you have been playing for 2 months and know well with full battle master gear and u say allow someone whos never played your class log on and PvP will they do as well as you? No. Now if u have just recently gotten full battle master gear only playing for 2 months most likely you woulnt be as effective as someone who has say been playing for 4.

Healers are easily the most difficult to play well. Group with a bad one then group with a good one and you will find your play time much more enjoyable and your repair bills alot smaller . Then roll one to get an understanding that one wrong button click can easily wipe multiple members of your group in any situation whether it be flashpoints pvp or raids. Alot of times people get mad at me for not knowing where to go in zones or flashpoints because the gaming experience for healers is substantially then all other archetypes we spend most of our time on the game watching red bars bounce up and down. Additionally healing requires an instinctual internal timer for things like Big AEs and short set time duration enrages. Having the wrong cooldown at the wrong time kills everyone.

You guys are burnt out because they made it far to easy to level up. They set it up to make it easy so there isin't much gratification hitting level 50.

Simple solution to spawn camping is have an prescribed area say a 200ft. in game equivalent from the base at every angle that boosts expertise by 20-30% if they really want to spawn camp make it impossibly hard and people can move from side to side inside of said area that should allow them to break free easily. Problem solved.

Didnt feel like reading 15 pages but people sitting afk in war zones should end this conversation.

I prefer questing as minimally as possible as a healer who refuses to change my spec for any reason i always struggled to complete quest that are of my equal level. But i commend you people who actually want to complete all the quests id rather cut my ankles.

Side note on dps if you are being hit stop attacking and who knows your tank might beable to get the aggro back. Aggro isint the tanks responsibility its the groups responsibility. i started on EQoA (ps2 ever quest) where if a healer cast 3 heals back to back was certain to get aggro even with the best of tanks.

The funny thing is because there arnt half as many reps on any server. us imps have to play hutball 4 out of 5 games and still get our face bashed in by the same people. atleast you have the luxury of playing civil war and void star which u can still get way more medals then non stop games of hutballs with premades forcing the ball right to the hole then farming your spawn.

its not as much about time spent leveling i like having a red tatted face with horns. PS thanks for being an eq2 vet these wow children have no idea how easy they have it.

Imbalance will still be there but the people who want to enjoy pvp will be quick to hop to the republic side our allegiance is to our force lightning, red light sabers, and better race choice. Not the empire. So said game plan will allow this to happen with no issues.

Alot of people are enjoying the whole story telling aspect of this game which they said from the jump that that was their largest focus. But if it gets in the way of game play you have to find a way to make it work.

I play Empire 50 sorc and find illum extremely boring just allow changing factions it wouldn"t be a determent to the story telling just make it a quest that requires lv 50 as to not impair the class quests. then once more class quests come out after expansion just make small alterations to the class quests once you defect. 90% of my guild said we would roll republic if we had the option to defect with the toons we have already invested time into. And it wouldn't be outside of the basic lore of the star wars universe for say a jedi to fall to the dark side....(duh). I'd rather be a repub who has 100 targets to fight then be one of the 100 that does circles in illum for 15 min hoping to see someone and hope someone else doesn't kill them b4 i can target them. I just dont want to leave my guild and have to re roll a toon after iv invested time in the only toon i have interest in playing.

Cs3 (SS) ssn 722 uss key west pearl harbor hawaii 2005-2009 I think we miss the organization and comradery that we most likely dont get in our normal day jobs.

bravo! /bump

Healing doesnt matter in PvP??? I have yet to see a team with 2 healers over 250K lose.

They should also have some medals involving clutch healing i cant count how many hutt balls iv allowed my team to score because of my static shield,cleanse (to break the thousands of stuns) and the healing to get them there.

Thats all exactly as i suspected and everyone in the group had the repeatable quest from the guy outside aside from me who had the first quest and when we broke up the group the 3 other members all got into the same instance together and i got into my own but said problem still occurred when we grouped back up. Must be bugged.

The logic behind healers not getting medals vs. dps is simple. A dps class can run up to anyone on the opposite team and start running his numbers up but a healer can only heal when health bars are low. It requires healers to run into where ever the action is instead of just blasting heals off at the closest target.

no sorry not hard mode im only 38. it was my understing that hardmodes are only for lv 50s right?

So when i try to enter the Flashpoint boarding party with a group i keep getting the message "leader has selected a different difficulty" "or "the leader must reset the flashpoint" everyone in my group had already done the 1st quest where you talk to the droid then to the grand moff (the quest that i'm on). So they were on the repeatable quest where u have to talk to the soldier just outside of the entrance which i couldn't get because i havint finished the 1st quest. We tried resetting the instance,resetting everyone's quests, resetting quests then sharing quests, changing the leader to everyone in the group, then we dropped group i could enter my instance and they could enter theirs but we couldn't get into one together. Anyone know a solution to this issue???

Healing isin't just about numbers. Static shield absorbs a ton of damage and protects from alot of DoTs and debuffs. If you know what your doing when u see someone running with the hutball and they get stunned u should be casting cleanse as quickly as it repops if you are playing a sorc. Im only lv 34 and take top healer at least 80% of the time but i cant count how many times i have followed a tank as he forces the ball right up the middle just because i know how to use my shield an cleanse. learn the game dynamics before u make accusations rookies.

The tiny arrow isint very helpful either there should be the whole circle under the target. Also the target should show through walls as to track targets better (like when someone hits the air vent in hutball). The whole alt+t thing is still worthless for healers whos targets switch way too frequently there must be an automatic assist. If there was us healers might be able to do a little damage and get some dam commendations.
