SinisterSniper Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Prioritize dual spec or lower respec costs. Ugh. I would actually heal hard mode flashpoints/ normal operations if this cost was lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSniper Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Its broken when people beg you to heal for them and you cant because respecing twice a day is 200k+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varghjerta Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Its broken when people beg you to heal for them and you cant because respecing twice a day is 200k+ So the million dollar question is then why not stay as a healer?

RealAeiouy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Its broken when people beg you to heal for them and you cant because respecing twice a day is 200k+ You are doing it wrong if you are respeccing twice a day. The system is working. If you want to be a healer be a healer. It is not intended for people to switch roles multiple times a day. It is intended to allow people to redesign their character. It is not a group role toggle switch. So either pick a role or pay the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLeee Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Above posters don't play as healers, don't listen to them! There is no reason why we healers or even tank should have to pay that high of a price when other MMOS already have a duel spec in game (AND I DO NOT MEAN AC SWITCHING). We have 3 talent trees to choose from, why are we penalized if we want to play the other 2? I switch to DPS when I do my dailies and quest. Healing spec takes too damn long and its not fun while out soloing. There is no reason to have the prices set as high as they are period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegaPhone Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) They should allow for dual spec for sure. However the problem is with looting since people with loot for two kinds of specs. The solution to go with looting is to make items marked for players even if they are BoE, so that we can have dual spec and people can fill other roles more easily to have more fun with the game. So please fix the loot system to make dual spec viable. edit: They can keep the need/and greed for certain items such as green ones, mats, stim pacs. med pacs etc. Edited February 8, 2012 by VegaPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basicly you are a DPS player complaining that you cant heal in some instances and that Tanks and healers have no solobility (which proves that you just play as dps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do dailies now as a healer and FPs as a healer. I have no problem doing any solo or group content as a healer, in fact I would definately say that leveling as a healer has actually made me much better at it then I would have otherwise been. Don't pretend it's undoable just because you can't do it or don't want to, Bioware said it was a perfectly legitimate way of playing and they were right. If I say I want to start doing DPS for solo and healing for groups then guess what, I have to pay for it because it's my choice.

LightShad Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Not like it makes a huge difference in damage output, sure you miss a few nice spells and about 10-15% damage output but you can heal so why bother doing solo content when you can do HM FP all the time. And if there is a grinding problem just ask the people that need a healer to help you with your dailies, they dont they get on a blacklist if all healers do this then the DPs can either not do FP or help healers. As soon as im done with my questlines i will also respec healer atm im just dps because for 4man quests you dont really need a healer anyway.

Vinge Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My lvl 50 heal specced Merc has no particular issues doing dailies etc as a healer. Sure, if I respecced as dps every time I wanted to do them it would probably be quicker, but the trade-off is I'd have to pay the respec costs. Seems fair enough to me.

I'm a sorc healer, but I actually do the dailys as a group most of the time. I'm able to do nearly all of them, but two heroics, by myself, as a healer. Merc healers are able to deal more damage than Sorc/Operative healers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhaok Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My main is a sorc healer and I do NOT want dual spec. Mainly because it is nice as I pug a lot to get quick groups. I leveled 1-50 as heals and had a fun time with it. Im sure I kill slower than dps on dailies but I have no problems tearing through them. No on dual spec.

You have companions and don't need to drop the healing specialisation in order to play alone. If you are a healer, take a tanking or dps companion, if you are a dps, take a tanking or healing companion, if you are a tank, take a healing or dps companion. You are NEVER penalized for choosing a particular role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously you need to respec to DPS to do that piece of cake dailies that you can do using a companion? oO I have been Healer since the begining and i havent got any problem at the time of doing the dailies. And no, im not full Rakata. We could have an insta kill button and people still will be complaining about how hard it's this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZORG Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I am a lvl 50 100% heal spec consular with a few points in lower skills in other trees. With Nadia in all purple armorings and mods I got no issues doing dailys solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSniper Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Dual spec is coming, they have said it. It just needs to be prioritized. Hell, you don't even need dual spec if you made respecs a reasonable price. I don't want to heal main spec, I want to help groups that ask me. My main spec is DPS, I am asked 4-5 times a day to heal. I would have 0 problems with it, if the price was affordable or you had dual spec. 100k to respec healing, then another 100k to turn around to respec to your main spec. There is a reason certain roles are hard to find because people don't want to pay these asinine fees. It's not going to increase anyones time "finding a pug group" like mentioned above. In reality it should increase the amount of specs people are willing to play and get faster groups... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heal when i do my dailies and quests I heal in pvp i heal in FP and in groups. Works out quite well. the prices are set they way there are because you are not suppose to be switching back and forth. part fo the reason why we have so many companions with different classes is so you can adjust to the situation before you when out soloing and not have to to respec.

doctor_atomic Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Respecs should only be available when major changes are made to a class, this constant flavour-of-the-day respeccing is not a good idea. Pick a class, pick a spec, and play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So try another excuse because that one isnt valid Use your companion to help you with dailies. My bet is you switch to dps and use your healing companion. You do have a dps or tank companion that you can use. Edited February 9, 2012 by Emeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in a QA with regards to pvp they were asked if they were going to have dual specing and said they are looking at all options with regards to making pvp fun.
