Well it does, healers have to make alot of tactical descisions in PvP healing becuase you gotta think who is most valuable to keep alive at any given moment of the match, and they hardest one "Do i heal my self, or heal an important person dying" which only on rare occasions i have truefully regretted healign myself. hell if you can heal you self to the point the DPS are TIRED of tryign to out dmg your heals they will back off anf focus the tank and you in turn heal the tank, but thats just me... Bottom line. Heal the person taking the MOST dmg until they die or peopel back off and trasnition that way

So your saying as a DPS class you'd like to die from a healer, my main is a healer and i was a able to kill tons of people pre 1.2 as a Trooper CM and basically just, i guess :nuke" them down with SCC and CB, how ever as i did feel i could easialy be stopped with a DPS's many plethora of CC's should be able to interrupt me and easily counter me, and as a CM have hardly any CC when it comes to stopping people for doing damage to me other than HEALING its still slightly overpowered. This of it in a different perspective of other class based games like a AoS, a support hero should not out dmg a dps hero or even stand a chance

PvE wise Commando healers have a different role as all healing classes are different play styles since commandos are single target a commando healer would be useful to sustain your main tank and spike heal dying single targets, now i do think a commando healer shouldn't be the "main" healer because they are weaker in the aoe and multi target healing where scoundrels and sages excel. Also in PvP i do think a guard is important because the point of PvP is a team where a tank should be guarding the healer anyway and if a dps role is to mostly kill single key targets i feel a healer is quite useless if not guarded.

Sorry if there are typos, disapointed this thread isnt gettign much response :/ BW may terminate i guess.

you should invest the 2 talents in the mid talent lowest tier of gunnery into kolto Bomb then you would have my build 33/8/0 build slike this one were night and day post 1.2

Commandos arent broken have you even tried to improve since the patch? i spent the last week doing what i can to get better now as CM. I am pulling pre 1.2 numbers (atleast 300k on a normal length match)

Id like to start a thread specific to combat medics and how they are coping with the nerf and also to see whether there are other like me who have seemed to bypass it completely. I have recently been queueing with ym favorite tanks from my server, Ajunta Pall, and since most tanks werent really touched by the latest patch survivability is less dependent on them but still helpful in PvP. With a 33/8/0 tree i have been able to humbly avg 300k+ healing in a match (that is if it is moderate length and moderate action ie: a ful voidstar wuith no doors being broken would be insanely long got 600k yesterday.) With spliting ammo effiecentcy using Reserve Cell when ever im full health (or able to atleasrt cast another heal) and theres alot of healing to be done and only using the reload buff (buffed in combat medic tree aswell) when i have 3 or less ammo. After about a week or experimenting and tyring some tips i found online with new drastic effiency techniques i can pull the same numbers like pre 1.2 on average(not saying everygame, hell most games i get 2+ Sent/ Mar on me and thats a B**** to heal through) with a good tank gaurding me, Please share your techniques so we can make the combat medic viable again.

I havent really seen the specifics on the nerfs for commando's but i have sure herd alot. What i dont understand is why we are getting nerfed. Well, I mean why are Healers getting nerfed? There is not a single Overpowerd healer in the game Troopers can easily be shut down by marauder and interrupts we have only 2 main healing abilities and no major HoT's or stack-able heals I have broekn 606k before and average over 400k a match, but so what it means im skilled. JUST CUZ YOU ARENT SKILLED ENOUGH TO COUNTER ME DOESNT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BEG FOR A NERF ON ME. geez, the game has been perfectly balanced for a class that has no interrupts and only one major stun in the healing tree why are they messing it up?
