[12 Days of Christmas Swtor vs WoW]

Deleted

[f, ops, and hms.]

Sense, this makes none.

[where to choose advanced class]

In your Spellbook (Press P by default) under the General tab is an ability called Emergency Fleet Pass. Use that, then the quest to pick your AC is over by the Hutta Departures in the Fleet.

 

After you pick your AC you'll have to take the Shuttle back to Kaas

[Torian needs a Spiked-Hair Customization.]

No, he needs a Black Power Ranger suit.

[1 simple change and BH heals could be fixed.]

Basically what these threads boil down to is BH's who havent tried any of the hard content yet, and people who have, sure in low level stuff and even easy hard modes a bh can be OK , but still no where near as usefull as a shield spaming/aoe healing sorc, but when it comes down to it at max level the BH healer is just plain gimped compared to the huge arsenal of healing tricks a sorc can put out

 

Basically this class needs 3-5 more abilities and big buffs to heat consumption to be on par with the sorc, right now my healing spec is only for pvp and normal modes and will only dps in operations and let the superior sorcs heal our raids

 

If you say otherwise, you are a lowbie or havent done any of the hardest content

 

Really? Because I heal Hard Mode Flashpoints just fine, and average 150k Healing in most Warzones.

 

Sure our basic heals could use a small buff, but a 4-5k Emergency Scan (An ability that generates no heat) is ridiculously OP.

 

Be smart with your abilities, keep Kolto Shell, Reactive Armor and the Supercharged Koto Missile Shield up , and it's easy.

 

Otherwise, either you need more practice, or your tank sucks.

[What companion do you use]

I switch between Torian and Mako (Haven't gotten the Final Companion a Melee Tank yet) Torian has some great mobility and AOE, and easy to gear.

 

Mako is still useful on Bosses/Elite Mobs

[Merc Rotation]

No Rotation, just a Priority System

[Mako customization]

The Cantina in Balmorra has a ton of Customizations for Mako. There is also an additional (ugly) one for her on the Security Vendor.

[No dumb questions, right?]

Well here is one I suppose. Are mercs viable as DPS only, or do people only play this class to turn into healers in later game? I want to play a merc, but I never plan on healing (I don't mind healing in certain situations, though).

 

There's plenty of both, Mercs are good at either.

[Down with the Queen]

I tried this the other day but was having trouble but I have now lost the sonic device you need to call the queen. I can't abandon the quest and get a new one.

 

Anyone have ideas how to get another one?

 

Thanks

 

Use the reset button net to Abandon Quest

[Irae AoD > SWTOR]

Who cares

[Hammer station bridge death memorial]

To those who have fallen to the most difficult boss in the game

 

/salute

[Let's talk Hammer Station...]

Once you start running Hard Mode instances you would get very sick of the dialogue every time you re-run them. Remember Arthas' dialogue you had to wait to finish in Heroic CoS?

 

That said every flashpoint is awesome.

[Kolt Shell problem due to threat]

Welcome to group mechanics.

 

Your tank can take a few hits before you need to throw off a heal. Let him build some threat.

[Cademimu --- Worst piece of garbage ever.]

A Wookie with a Flamethrower?

Stealing a Cop Car? (With Slicing)

The First Boss Shouting "You are under arrest!"?

 

I was laughing through most of this instance because of how awesome it was, OP needs to lighten up a bit

[Power Shot obsolete after Tracer Missile?]

This.

 

Also, we have a talent which reduces that heat cost of Power shot, buy I havent found one doing the same for Tracer Missile. So with 1 talent, Power shot has a higher Damage per Heat ratio.

 

The same talent also reduces the Heat Cost of Tracer Missile. Assuming you're refering to Muzzle Fluting, the reason it's lowers both is so Pyrotech can pick it up.

 

Power Shot also doesn't contribute Tracer Shot buffs which by the time you stack to 5, Rail Shot's CD will have finished (also assuming you get a Barrage Proc as well as using a Heatseeker) Additionally Power Shot can't Proc Terminal Velocity.

 

Arsenal = Tracer Missile

Pyrotech = Power Shot

 

At lower levels before you access said talents, Power Shot might be slightly more effective, but seriously who cares about low level DPS?

[Mandalorian Raiders Issue?]

I had it happen on the second boss. Submitted a ticket but haven't heard anything.

 

Of course at this point I've completely out leveled the place and any loot from a GM would probably be sold.

[Power Shot obsolete after Tracer Missile?]

There is none. Powershot is more for Ptechs. Use tracer from 20 on.

 

Powershot is Mercenary only.

 

That said, it's used for Pyrotech Specs and the occasional DPSing with Bodyguard, but otherwise Tracer Missile replaces it in your rotation.

[Any BH's from SWG?]

I was a Comando... does that count?

[What stat increases healing done?]

Presence - Increases your healing, as well as the health of your companion including their dps/healing.

 

Horribly outdated info.

 

Aim is the primary stat for BH of both ACs and All Specs (Except Tanking)

[I don't understand Warzones]

Why are there level 35s in here with level 11s?

 

 

I understand our stats get a boost, but they have so many more abilities.

 

So the queues don't suck.

[Combat rotation?]

Simple Fights I generally run:

Death From Above.

 

If DFA is on CD:

Explosive dart on a mob in the middle

Switch Target: Missile Blast

Switch Target: Unload

Switch Target: Missile Blast

Finish with Rapid Shots

 

For Strong/Elite Mobs:

Concussion Missile if grouped with other mobs

Kill other Mob

Pull with Tracer Missile

Spam Tracer Missile to 5 Stacks (Alternate with Rapid Shots to Avoid Overheating)

Rail Shot

Unload

 

If the Strong/Elite Mob is in Melee:

Concussion Missile if grouped with other mobs

Tracer Missile to pull

Rocket Punch

Jet Boost

Tracer Missile until they get close

Rocket Punch

Electro Dart

Flame Thrower

Spam Tracer Missile to 5 Stacks (Alternate with Rapid Shots to Avoid Overheating)

Rail Shot

Unload

 

They all sound more complicated then they actually are, and with Mako's Heals I've only died a handful of times in the game.

[Best leveling spec question]

how long till you get a 2nd companion?

 

About level 28 (Tatooine)

[Best leveling spec question]

If you want to be a healer end game, I would NOT suggest leveling as healing. This is for Merc BH only.

You get stuck with Mako forever. If you heal, then you have no Tank or DPS and this is a drag. Lvl as DPS and switch to healing after you get another companion that can do some DPS and tanking duties.

 

I'm stuck in a rough spot. My guild needs me for heals for FPs, but I'm ahead of them in leveling by a bit, so I'm soloing my way as a healer with a healing companion. It's not efficient at all.

 

If you are leveling with other players at the same time, a healer is fine. You can DPS like crazy on easier pulls and heal on harder pulls...it's actually pretty fun in a group setting and in FPs.

 

Trooper companion progression is much more user friendly.

 

Mako actually has a DPS Stance, it's not as effective as a typical DPS Companion, but it boost her DPS but a significant amount.
