So your argument that sorcs are OP is that 4 of them can kill you? Do you compile these insights in a monthly newsletter? I'd like to subscribe.

I think it boils down to about 90% gear and 10% practice. I was getting blown up quite quickly and unable to put out more than 200k healing in a match as little as a week ago. My gear is getting better (317 expertise - certainly still not perfect) and I find that now, combined with having a fair bit of practise, I'm able to hit the 300k healing medal on Huttball pretty much every round. Keep plugging away, get a few pieces from champ bags and you'll do great

The main reason I find Xalek "better" is that he's also an Inquisitor, so you're able to equip him with duplicates of your own epic gear. For example, when I received my second PvP robe token, I bought the tank version and equipped on Xalek.

Hey, quit stealing all the thoughts from my brain you guy

It's not a lag issue, it's an order-of-operations issue. They're currently applying the buff to your cast when you press the button, and not when the spell actually starts to cast. Therefore, with the ability queue system, you're able to get the second cast off with the buff because you pressed the button while the buff was up. Presumably they'll fix it at some point to apply the buff when the spell is actually cast, and this will stop working. I'm trying to avoid using it for the most part, as I don't want to get used to having the free casts and being screwed when they go away

Hated it the first few days, now it's most definitely my favourite WZ

Excellent, gonna try this after work. I've heard enough people say it works to at least have some hope.

Thanks tips, except the issue is still occurring, so it's not actually resolved. Thanks for playing!

Out of curiosity, were you having the intermittent credit issue, where it would randomly give credit for some and not others, or were you simply not getting credit for repeated wins? I'm trying to figure out if this is one issue or two. There seem to be some complaints about not getting credit at all for an extended period, while there are also complaints of people getting credit sometimes, but not others

I've noticed it happening when my team wins Huttball with 6 caps. If we only score 5 or less, it always registers, but if we score the 6th, it's a crapshoot whether I get credit or not. Anybody else noticing this?

I can only imagine the next patch notes: Sorcerors Force Lightning: Now contains more zazz

I went with the "still kinda pissed off that you tried to kill me and steal my body" reasoning for keeping Khem.

12 bags opened, I've gotten 2 robes. Yay for duping the only piece of gear I had

Thank you Geraz, your excellent advice has solved one of the two issues I had with this game. The other (auto-follow not working) is fixed too, so I'm a pretty happy camper now.

I'm only level 42, and I'm probably doing it wrong, but I've really not used anyone but Khem this whole time. Perhaps it's just my personal playstyle, as I've always played healers in MMOs, but I appreciate the security of being able to handle "oh ****" moments, and don't mind trading that off for some slightly slower farming. There have been a number of circumstances - mostly involving me being stupid and not noticing patrols or extra mobs - where I doubt I would have survived without spam healing Khem in tank mode.

Oh I know, but I think that makes it even more hilarious

The irony here is palpable and delicious

"will always be somewhat like it is now" That implies it will change, at least somewhat, because it will be similar. "the game isn't changing" This part kind of makes the first half of your sentence sound pretty stupid. If the game isn't changing, it wouldn't be "somewhat" like it is now, it would be identical

I'm with you! Honestly, I'm quite convinced this is just people looking at previous MMO launches through rose-coloured glasses. When you actually sit back and recall the launches of other MMOs, they have all had massive issues. The most obvious comparison being WoW, it was almost entirely unplayable for about a week after launch, with massive server queues, people not even able to install the game etc. It took another month after that before server lag was noticeably improved. Here's an old forum thread from 2004, you'll note that it looks much the same as the threads on these forums: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/28037
