Alright thanks for the advice guys. I'm alright with leveling as a dps. As long as I can play solo content as a healer once I'm 70+, that was my main concern.

Hey, I'm playing Sith Sorcerer I'm level 38, I was thinking of maybe getting some levels up before I tried again I'm having trouble on Hoth They are trash mobs with a silver elite usually and it's the trash mobs that keep killing me because the silver elite will generally attack my companion Yes I'm equipping all that gear and they've been repaired I'm using the jedi girl that becomes your apprentice in the story Thanks I'll check out those guides and see if it helps. I was thinking of using the helmet your given as my helmet as your able to modify it. I'm not sure if I can buy mods at my level but maybe they added the helmet in the story for this reason.

I'm trying to play the healing spec in the origin story. Some mobs are fine but on the more difficult mobs I just keep dying. I've tried setting my companion to both dps and tank and I still have the same problem. I heal fine and I know my combos fairly well. It's just every time I fight a group of enemies they target me instead of my companion and I just ending up dying because I can't heal myself except for like one defensive ability that doesn't heal enough for the dps they're doing. I really want to keep levelling as a healer after the origin story as well as play other content as a healer so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
