Is it possible to get the discussion back to the topic Healer Testing and the Search for "Underlying Changes" ??? It is a little bit annoying to read stuff that does not fit in this subject, so please be so kind and try to get this discussion back on track and keep up the good work (Thumbs up) i really appreciate it.

As far as i know only Lvl 50 Gear has a Set Bonus but not the Lvl 40 Gear.

RD-15A – Assault/Raptor: Favors Crit/Accuracy (DPS) TD-15A Pyro-tech: Favors Crit/Accuracy(DPS), slightly favors endurance(over Aim) more then RD-15A TH-15A Medic: For Merc. Bodyguards (Healing), favoring Alacrity and Crit TT-15A Coercion: More for Shield Tech (Tanking), favoring Endurance, Absorption Rating, and Defense Rating You can mix Assault,Raptor and Medic Gear they have the same Style (Mercenary Gear)

I focus on 300 crit and 200 surge after that i try to get a mix of power and alacrity with a focus on power because it scales linear and has no diminishing return. Scaling Overview from Kor posted at Sithwarrior.com http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/47/statscalingdr.png

I think the Overall Damage for lvl50 PVP Warzones went down because you are fighting now more Enemies (lvl50) with a higher Armor and also Expertise. In Patch 1.0 you had Enemies from 1-49 without any Piece of Expertise. Bolster Buff does following to your Combat Stats: ((your level/max level) * 80%) + 10% combat stats disadvantage. So this Buff only changes Combat Stats but no Defense Stats and that is the Reason why your Damage Output should go down in a lvl 50 Warzone.
