if you want the experience to take longer there is one simple thing you have to do....DON'T SKIP CUT SCENES! I mean I did watch the majority of scenes during my first character's level up (and I am talking about the normal one everyone gets, not the class ones that you really SHOULD watch), and for my Warrior I have skipped the vast majority and have noticed it has taken substantially less time to progress in levels. Simply stated, if you want to grind, grind through the cut scenes!

Yeah the Shield Probe was something i was thinking would be nice to be able to use on other players. I'll be leveling a sorcerer in the near future probably, but what can I say? I like the challenge of healing on my operative!

Ah, well i stand corrected then!

Oh i have heard it's on their side too, but i can't confirm as i haven't played a sorcerer since early in the beta

I have a 50 Op healer and they are fine healing. However it is true that Sage/Sorc healers ARE "better" in that they have a bug in their healing that allows for massive HPS difference. Plus they have an easier time with spikes in AoE damage healing due to their resource management. Some will argue that if you want a healer you would be wise to go with the sorcerer, but really if you have a group that is competent then healing as an Op is absolutely fine, and to me, fun. BW DOES need to fix quite a few things to make the healing output on a more equal level, but to me it's not game breaking.
