Thanks for the insight. next question: What makes a healing spec good at PvE? Is it the numerous heals?

Simple question: Is a fully specced healer viable in solo PvE? When I mean PvE, I mean class stories and world stories, not flashpoints, and heroics. If it is, is it fun or do the battles take a long time due to low DPS?

I am pretty much a solo player that picks up groups from time to time. I am having a great time. I am a 38 Operative, going conceal with some lethality. My question is, as a solo player (for the most part), which companion is the best to have around?

I preorderd in July and I didnt get in.
