I dont find commando healer worst then any other healer... If you know how to play them. What I mean is a lots of people only remember the commando healer being able to use all is healing skill without ever use Hammer shot. Now you have to use it some time. I make some guys in my guild use it and they became way better then some Sage. Yes, commando healer are too much single target, making place where you get high amount of damage on all the group harder for them... But remember a thing, it's not the job of the healer to make you better and survive, it's your job to avoid max damage. Befor, a bad player was helped by healer, now... if you have a bad player... You wipe!

Commando get the best survability of all class, big metal armor, a shield that reduce damage by 25%, a regen ability. You are your owm one man army. In my guild, my commando is the best range DPS, the best at AoE ( Since 1.2, maybe not anymore but a great one for sure ) You have healing, you are a range, you can solo Belsavis dailies even the H2, all Ilum dailies, an only the H4 on Correlia is a little too much right now... Why do you want to get everything? One interupt is not what we need, we need something to get out of combat when we are surounded or in PvP we get in melee with a Sentinel. The commando dosent need interupt, he need a way to back down very fast or disapear from combat... But NEVER he need an interupt. By the way, trooper are the best class to get into a FP, they have way better skill then a Gunslinger ( Who have an interupt ) Lost Island is pretty easy with a Trooper, you dont even need an healer on you at all, you can DPS and still heal yourself fine. ( If you can't do that, your not gear enough )

Did you have proof that watchmen do more damage in a long fight.... meaning did you try on a World boss to kill him in Watchmen by yourself and see how many time it take in Watchmen and how many time it take in Combat... The best to try this on is the Quesh world boss, he dont do much damage to a great player. Number.. prove me that watchmen do more cause Burst damage that can be do faster then Dot can become better then the Dot. Cause with my Commando Gunnery spect I do Way more damage as burst then with the Assault tree that is Dot damage. Not because it's dot that it do more damage.

First of all... Commando do Single target heal! You have one AoE heal and it's not the best heal you have by far! Doing solo heal make your job way harder to Heal a lots because you have to change target. Those Sage dosent need to do that because there best heal and a ground stuff that heal a lots. But that dosent mean you are weaker because you do less healing... First you have the best solo target heal! No one can survive more then a Commando healer in any PvE... Any Sage in a PvE environement need way more protection from other then a commando... I just have to think the last boss of each Ops. They do a lots of AoE attack and that kill easy those sage cause they dont have good armor VS a power tank metal armor healer! You have more HP then any healer, you have more Armor then any healer... What do you want more... Be better healer??? You already are a better class! Yes in PvP you might have a hard time... You dont have any Interupt, you can't stealth, nothing to really push an ennemie far enough to be usefull. But Think about it... In PvE those think are useless for boss fight... This is not the job of an healer to interupt monster... Stealth is useless cause you need to heal, not run. Be more realistic of the game befor QQ. This is not a PVP game it's a PVE game!

I think the worst for me was the boss befor the last one on Ilum. Two guys that heal each other and I was a Trooper healer... Not enough DPS to pass their healing and no interupt to break those healing skill! I was level 50 under gear at this point. The last boss of ilum was also so broken... He kill you then revive you and I wasn't able to heal my companion more then the damage he was able to do befor he just kill me one shot.

You dont understand the game at all! PvP = expertise ( Expertise should give more stats in PvP and more defense... making PvE gear less strong and useless ) PvE raider = Big boss, big challenge... Very hard content. They need bigger stats solo. PvE solo = Small challenge, not great fight, they have a puppet that follow them. They need to make their pet a little stronger, they dont really need great stats because the content is easy. I dont understand why they give to solo player that dosent want to group, that dont want to do the big fight the same gear. I dont understand why PvE gear is better then PvP gear in PvP! Also why a new player should get the same gear as someone that take a long time to get is gear, work hard to get it??? It make no sens! Casual gamer should do casual stuff, get casual gear... Raider should get raider gear and PvPer should get PvP gear... Each type of gear should be very diffrent.

Yeah, in fact... you will make more damage if you use more Full Auto! You will get faster full auto, they dont say anything about the damage of this attack... Who do more damage then Grav Round!!!! So in fact if you change your way of fighting, get more ACCURACY because it's a white attack... You will make more damage then befor... Get 5 stack of Grav Round... Use your Full Auto, your Demo round, your Hight Impact round... And Not only Grav round!!! People that think it's a nerf are those that only use Grav Round!

I try to min/max my stats for my commando gunnery, right now doing some level 56 modification farming, but my question are those. 1. Did I need accuracy at all? I drop a lots of accuracy with my carac, but it dosent seem like I miss even if I only have 96% to hit... I have never miss in PvE environment. 2. If I only got Power/surge mod, will I lost something in the process, like Do I need to have some Crit/accuracy/Alacrity, or the best is to have just Power/Surge mod? 3. My build look like that http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#800Mc0MZMIkrordokfzZbz.1 Did someone try to get supercharge cell and use it for only damage and how much damage will I loose if I dont use armor peircing cell? I try to use the cell and didn't see much lost of damage again monster we find in a dailies, but again boss or very strong World boss??? Ps: I dont play in PvP... I have done it, get to rank 33, but now I just want to be gear for Hard/Nightmare Ops!

I dont know why people still talk about WoW, this game should have end after Lich King expansion. Cataclyst is pure **** and have nothing to get me into the game. They make everyone the same... No more individual build.. You have to put all your point in the same place as everyone or your just so bad that you cannot compete. You have to get to the top level or nothing good happen to you... In fact SWTOR is completely diffrent. The game play is more fun, you can make your tree like you want and it's possible to not get the end power of a tree and still be good... Why people want to make SWTOR like WoW when WoW should be ended since he is too easy, too boring and the end game is chilling in Ogrimar and make people drool on your epic gear. Yes they have more level... but in fact it's very very very very boring to level in WoW... Not like in SWTOR where you have a story to listent, maybe the writer story is not the best , but it's way better then any story in WoW. The crafting system is maybe the worst part of the game... Yes the crafting is not hard enough, you have everything granted to you on plate and the only crafting system that give you something at the end game is Bio, all other get you gear that have nothing to do with the power of the end gear. The PvP is a little to random.... I dont want to do Huttball, but on my server, the Imperial are totaly demolish, they have no one and they are low geared vs Republic... So what happen is that no IMP play on PvP anymore and we have to play Huttball 300 times a day. This is maybe not BW fault that it's like that, but it's bad for us player. The end game is fine... Crafting and PvP is what we should try to change. By the way WoW pvp is enven worst and crafting system is no where near Ultima Online crafting... an even older game.

I'm a Commando Gunnery, and my only concern for PvP is not class oriented, but maybe Gear. At equal gear I know I can beat pretty much anything that are not perfectly playing is class, and maybe a hard time for the one that play very well. But the fact is... at level 50... Gear and expertise is everything. I can shoot easy 3k critic attack on gear near mine, but often I get to fight people who have the best gear possible and my damage drop like a rock in water. Again people with no expertise I get near 5k critic. I dont have much prob with the stun of the Sorc... they are squishy with no armor. I have a harder time again the Sith tank who have a lots of stun and a big armor.

My Trooper is a Dark V, I have kill a senator in front of all other Senator... But the army still believe I am worth keeping in??? WHY? It will be fun to get a changing faction but keep the animation of the old class... Like your a soldier, you fight like a soldier... Not like a mercenary. But when you try to get new skill, you get those of a trooper on the mercenary or what ever is the mirror class.

First of all... I might say some spoiler so dont read if you dont have a level 50 trooper already. I play a trooper dark side and I always choose dark side option even if that seem out of the line. With Vik as compagnon it make more sens to choose the last option also. But, this is where It seem fuzzy. I kill a senator in front of all the other senator and no one! I mean no one do something about it, I didn't go to the martial court or get attack... Yes I have a reason but my character only say : He is a traitor. And everybody assume I'm right... WTH! Did the writer get down on there head when they write this. Only Garza say something during the post op... But when I go to the next planet she is friendly right after. I'm -10000 Dark side... How this can happen? I have also liberate an entity who is suppose to destroye the universe in exchange for some weapon, but nothing happen in my story. I just need to go to Ilum to get the weapon thats all. Really no one tell me ever I'm wrong and I should be imprison, but I kill people who do way less then what I do and kill them. I hope other story are not mess up like that also.

For the healing part, you will be ok with a rifle, but your DPs will suffer a lots and you will have a very hard time level by yourself

Medals: Medic – 2.5k healing from a single heal Demolisher – 2.5k damage from a single attack Trauma Surgeon – 5k healing from a single heal Anihilator - 5K damage from a single attack Quick Draw – Getting a killing blow on one player Combatant – Dealing 75k damage Destroyer - Dealing 300K damage Healer - Healing 75K Savior - Healing 300K Defender – Earning 1k Defender Points Warden - Earning 3k Defender Points Assassin – Killing a player in a one-on-one fight Shield – 5k Protection Protector - 50K Protection (thanks meatballz/adlarn) Guardian – 2k Protection since last death Paladin – 10k Protection since last death Commando – Killing 10 enemy players Soldier – Killing 25 enemy players This is what you need to do to get medal... What a sniper can get easy. 2.5k damage and 5k will be easy with Ambush. Healing is impossible if you dont have Bio as crew skill. Killing blow and the number of kill is pretty easy also. So it make 9 easy medal to get and maybe 1 more if you have bio and 1 more if you do very high damage. so a total of 11 medal can be done by a Sniper. Dont tell me he is useless!!!

Each class are ok, some are harder to play, but they are all balance. People who think they are not balance is because they play again someone better. Sorc/Sage DPS are easy to play so a lots of player got them... Harder are maybe the Sentinel and Gunslinger / Marauder and Sniper because they are pure DPS class
