Malphayden Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have a balance sage and the general consensus is that even non heal spec'd sages can heal fine up til around lvl 30. I'm wondering if it's at all the same for commandos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujrim Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) You can toss out a decent sized heal every now and then, but you're not going to have enough ammo to both DPS and heal effectively. Edited January 9, 2012 by mujrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malphayden Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 So if a low lvl group is "LF1M healer for Rebublics Most Wanted" for example, can I, as a commando gunnery, step into that roll in lower lvl (<30) content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujrim Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I actually tanked Republic's Most Wanted on a Jedi Guardian in a pug where the healer was a Gunnery specced Commando. It worked out. Edited January 9, 2012 by mujrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schwiz Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I ran Cadiminu the other day and the healer stood in the fire and died within the first 30 seconds of the final boss fight. I healed the entire fight, it was rough at time I kept running out of ammo but I was able to keep the tank up the entire fight. After it was all over the tank told me I did a better job healing than the other guy was doing the entire flashpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuceHason Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You can toss out a decent sized heal every now and then, but you're not going to have enough ammo to both DPS and heal effectively. So true! Even pure healing the Ammo runs low quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawtzki Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Up to lvl ~35 you should have no problem healing hc4 quests, even without healing spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secured Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 im fully champ equipped gunnery commando and i have quite high crit and surge rates, so if i crit with my heals in pvp, i will heal for up to 5k, which is about a third of most players hp. the problems are that you arent pushback-resistant, so you can only really heal if you dont get attacked, so make sure to get out of line of sight. Also, the casting time is quite high. The biggest problem though is, that you will do far more damage during the time you heal and the people you heal most often arent worth it to be saved and sacrifice your damage for (true story).
