So dont take the 31st point in healing? cmon. now way. Not even worth thinking about if you are going healer.

Really dont get why you dont understand it. We can finish both normal mode operations in under 2hrs. Its just way way too easy. Across the board every boss is zero challege. If you cant die and healing people is a joke then something is wrong. I understand needed to make a normal mode easy though b/c some people just dont play alot and they dont want a really difficult operation. Without the harder modes, raiding would be dead. And i played wow for very long time and ive been hardline raiding for most of it,,,Burning crusade is not my favorite. Its real in your mind maybe but thats about it.

I love how it works,,,pls dont listen to OP. Its a skill, maybe you should just try and improve at it rather than ask that it be made easier to use. Once you get used to it, its faster than any other skill with an activation time. If you are having trouble learning it, throw it down at your feet when u are around other people. Throwing it down at your feet takes zero time, its just an instant click. From there practice on aiming it quickly.

im a bh healer,,all my gear is over 136 and ive done all the operations/flashpoints. Heat just isnt the huge issue you think it is. Very simply, you are doing it wrong. Thats it. Only on really long operation hardmode fights is heat ever an issue for me. These two thing could help a tad. Only top people off with rapid shots. Never use one of your heat costing abilities if your only topping someone off. Generally if someone isnt below 85% health i dont use heat costing abilities. Understand your skills and the relationship they have. Example is using healing scan, then rapid scan, rapid scan will be cheaper heat wise

This, also using it to top people off rather than using a heat costing ability is key. If im not topping someone off then im getting supercharge ready for use with it.

sign and agree. Targeting is the #1 thing on my list as healer. We need somekind of mouseover.

OP is so clueless. Its not about the fact that wow had issues. Its about the fact that WOW has evolved over years and years of development. Most issues people have with swtor relate to the idea that we are basically expected to go back in time, to things WOW solved years ago. Starts in forums, then development, then test centers, then quick fixes and now swtor is doing some of the same things. Thats why people are frustrated,,b/c we have already done it all,,,its like groundhog day where u go back and do the same stuff over and over. i love the game and will play it no matter what. But you are mistaken (like many others) for pointing out the most obvious thing ever that WOW had issues when it started. Its not about that at all. New MMO need to learn how to take off from the end point of other MMO's. Not make a game in 2012 that has the same issues of a game that came out in 2004.

^baddie

I was in a hardline raiding guild right up until i left for this and i left because of people like you and what you have done to WOW. I mean grind the hell out of credits? Really? Everyone has way too many credits. The only people that are complaining about the cost of respec are NOT the hardcore. If you never used pugs then good for you, but pugs seem to be even a bigger part of this game because of flashpoints. I cant imagine how many healers ill see in dps gear and vis versa. Just pure lazyness. is it really just the credits? Is that the only reason? Maybe you are used to it from wow and think it should be in swtor.

They clearly made the cost of respecing high in order to encourage people to have one spec. They only started talking about the change after every casual was like omg cost too much! Why cant u just play one character? I dont get it. If you are a healer and badly need a dps for your raid, then lvl one/ Dual spec just gives in to the lazy people that want things handed to them. They dont want to pay alot for respecing....wait they dont want to pay at all....wait they dont want to go to a skill mentor.... The vast majority this just muddies the water. How many times in wow do you pug or and find a healer in dps gear and vis versa? Dual spec increases laziness in general and people will be trying to do things with worse gear than they already have. Forcing players to focus on one character improves overall gameplay.

We need some kind of dungeon finder... Not just to find group but for me,,replacing people is why there needs to be one. Sometimes it just takes too long to replace people in flashpoints. A single player shouldnt have that much impact on the rest of the group. Few days ago I pugged D7,,,tank dc'ed half way through. We seriously looked for an hour before giving up. A group shouldnt have to disband over someone dc'ing or leaving the group. keep it for server only i say though,,,i dont like the cross-server from wow.

Oh and its counterproductive from the entire Legacy system. Dual spec makes it unnecessary to creat alts///hence the legacy system (which is an amazing idea) will be bla. FREEDOM!

Dont make this change please. You dont need to listen to every lazy casual player. Stick to your guns, there was a reason why you didnt want it in the first place. This games success is going to be determined by how well you can navigate all the gibberish from the casual players. Sticking to your guns and not giving in on certain things is key. There is no reason for this change. There are millions of hardcore players on wow dying to leave it b/c of the watered down nature of WOW. If you give in to every little thing the casuals want, then there is no reason to leave WOW because thats all they have done for years and they are losing subs by the second at this point. Give these people a reason to come to swtor. Dont give in. Please

ya go mako if your dps. Blizz is great for healers. Especially with really good gear.

rakata comes from hardmode or nightmare mode operations. There is no commendations that will get u rakata either. This is just from memory but i think some really good mods drop from normal mode. Too lazy to look it up but they could be what you are looking for. you might just have to join a couple raids. I mean timewise, a geared group can fly through operations. I know eternity vault takes under an hour if no wipes.

in operations and flashpoints dont necessarily use it everytime it is available but i always make it available as fast as i can if its not ready. Rapid scan is obv but i love getting supercharge ready but topping people off with rapid shots. Basically you always want it ready when u need. Getting it ready as fast as u can once u use it is the trick. Kolto miss takes getting used to but i like it. When you get really good gear it actually heals for a decent amount and can crit 1 or all 3. I ussually have a plan with kolto missle depending on the group. Throwing it near the tank is fine ussually but also look toward ranged. If you know your ranged will be taking damage, try standing semi-close and throw it down at your own feet. Takes no aiming and you can do it almost instantly.

lol dont bother unless you have the gear. I got a feeling you dont. The only change id like to see is to make kolto missle a smart ability. Meaning that it will hit 3 targets with the lowest health. This would cut down on overhealing and would make the ability much more effective in raids. We do not need a buff to the ability though. If you have the gear, you will see that kolto missle hits 3 people for around 1k. The upside is that each one can crit so ive seen plenty go off over 1500. Alot of time 1 of the 3 will crit, so you get 2 heals close to 1k and 1 heal for around 1500. Thats not insignificant for an aoe heal on a tank healer. For me,,i dont get why you need something more.

I was being pretty constructive....maybe you are just looking for everyone to agree with you? If you put a post on a board, you should expect there will be people that disagree. I think our single target with a 4-piece is so strong that we dont need a big aoe buff. I like that they are totally different in terms of aoe healing. It should be like that.

So you basically want all the abilities of a sorc with tank heals. lol. I think that the more differences among the classes the better. The more bioware listens to players like you, the more stale the game will become.

Not skewed. There isnt this huge discrpancy. I could dble the healing of any sorc on a tank. Im thinking alot of you are just turned 50 or something. Or just dont pve/ idk. Or maybe you dont have good tanks in your groups. Thats actually key for BH and your groups should understand this. The people that know are having fun healing anything in this game and not posting with you.

So every class should be able to heal tanks and aoe the same no matter if its PVE or PVP? Really that something you want in the game? Really? Baddie.

Its our class,,and its intended. We are a tank healer. I really hate the omg we need the same aoe as a sorc. Its bs. Sorc cannot keep a tank up like we can. Its a fact, especially with the 4-piece. I pray they dont listen to all you people and buff kolto missle. Im sure they will give in like every other game does.

y'all must not have the 4-piece set bonus.

Still plenty of debate actually even among threads that are out there. Crit or alacrity is the question though. Personally im trying to get activation time down on rapid scan. Right now its down to 1.7. I think with full rakata it might get down to 1.5. Not positive on this though. Especially when you add in the 4-piece set bonus,,having a rapid scan down to 1.5 is really going to make a huge difference. Not only will you have a fast rapid scan,,,yu will be able to activate supercharge faster and more often. Add this to the 4-piece bonus of more healing scans and emergency scans,,,,bh healing becomes a crazy strong healing class. Alot of the debate comes in with heat issues and exactly how low can we take certain activation times. Although crits are very important,,to me it seems alot of added crit wont benefit as much as getting activation times down /
