And I stick by my claim that it scales almost perfectly to how pvp will be at max level when geared in similar gear.

Ok, I'm 50 in full bm and partial wh gear. I still don't see the problem. We have amazing heals, great dots and hots, good to very good survivability, especially with a decent tank guarding. So, I stick by my initial claim. I don't see the problem. I'm constantly number one in heals, even in pugs and my survivability is just as goodas anyone elses on Imy team. Meaning depending on quality of opponents.

Again, selective reader....do you choose to ignore my original post, or is it you just think criticism is the way to my heart?

Losmart, good post, I can agree with that. And to the other guy, your point would be taken better if you didn't come across the way you did. I know I'm not 50, the post I initially started even said as much, you completely ignored my initial paragraph. All I did was make an observation on what I do know and you tried belittling it because I wasn't to your level. I'll make more observations as I move along, but from my experience , which is fifteen years of playing healers in mmo's, that mid tier usually doesn't scale out that different end game. Largely matters on gear, playing ability and style. That much is a given though.

Kid, not only will I do that for you, I'll send you tips on how to be good yourself.

Ignorant post. maybe you should learn to play your character.

Now, let me start off by saying I've only been playing a week or so, and am not yet max level. However, I have always played healers from UO to Warhammer to WoW to this and many in between. So while I may not know everything in regards to this game, I've played enough and played enough healers to give my opinion. I've been doing mainly pvp from level ten to my current level, around 26. At first I noticed myself getting rolled non stop and was pretty frustrating but after learning the nuances, gaining some skills and heading almost exclusively up the healing tree (added willpower) I've noticed myself dominating in healing. Even on bad teams I'm still dominating. I am literally doubling and even tripling the next nearest healer on either team. I don't see why so many people are complaining about healing with a Sorc, I find it to be rather fun and does what its suppose to. Now I rarely try doing damage, I'll root, finish off an enemy if needed but I mainly stick to 100% healing. I wasn't around very long, but sorc healing is anything but weak..yes we are squishy, but we are healers, not tanks and not fighters. Learn when to fight and when to run.

Ok , after reading the replies and some more info, I think I understand. After the updates are done dl'ing itll be easier for me to see all this as it is in game.

Thanks for the replies. So I was thinking of taking the biochem route for crafting, can I take that and reverse engineering? From what I can see, it doesnt look like it.

Been along time since I played anything related to SW. Looking forward to getting started again, from scratch. I played SWG religiously when released and retired like many others after the initial CU. I was quite known for finding legendary Acklay bones and some of the most rare weapons on SWG prior to retiring and while I wont have any were near the time to play as I once did, I look forward to trying to return and regain some of that once great glory. Few questions.... Whats best class to play for healing, PVE initially? Any tips for getting acclimated? What are some of the better servers to start up on, Midwest US? Are there any screen ui mods to add on, or is that not allowed?
