So WoW sucks for the same reason and you want to go back to it? You don't work for blizzard do you?

Without the "Bads and casuals" SWTOR would be F2P before some people fail to graduate.

I've recently heard that force cloak can be used to revive a fallen party member in combat. Normally revive can only be used out of combat. Is this an exploit or, hopefully, fixed?

Even better, after getting lucky with platforms in phase 2, we make it to the final phase. Then Soa vanishes completely and the fight resets. Test before you release. It's not often I complain but this is incompetent. How about I come to your collective houses and waste your evening? Perhaps I'll turn off your TV every time you turn it on? I could empty your kettle every time you boil water so you can't have any coffee. Oh and time to sort out hotfixing so you can actually fix this stuff without shutting the servers down completely.

All but battle of Ilum so far. In the beginning it was tough. Especially as our tank hadn't done so many dailies and my regular group has two melee dps. Also, none of us did pvp for easy gear, two of us did dailies for about a week and modded our gear. Once you get a feel for how heals flow in different encounters it gets easier. Just as it gets easier once you start to get gear. There are times I wish my aoe was a bit more powerful and most the time I just throw a hot on each dps. Refresh it from time to time when the tank is ok, with that many hots ticking you should have upper hand active enough to throw it on the dps if they suck an aoe or on the tank if they need it. Sometimes my best mileage comes from playing the <35% game. Where the buff isn't consumed and you can go on a healing spree.

Happy enough as sawbones doing hard mode flashpoints without having grinded pvp for lol items or doing normal ops first. Sorry, was this a scrapper post?

You can gain upperhand with a CD based attack. It also lasts longer than that CD. As a healer you can gain it from med pack ticks and the castable heal. It's a very mobile healer in hard modes as well. I won't call it easy but then I've got dps that like to take dmg for some reason and thanks to to emergency med pack I can get them back up quick. Having the resources left over for myself can be an issue but I just have to be good. I'm very happy that I went scoundrel. It was easy to level and daily commendation quests are extremely easy to do.
