Rocesrider Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hey guys I am fairly new to the game and im now level 17. I am a bounty hunter and chose to go merc for healing. In terms of pve healing at end game can a merc do it well compared to the others? I am not even sure who else can heal but I am just wondering in terms of sustainability can a BH do it well? I can only use rapid scan like 4 times before i max heat then I cant heal to well after that. It seems like its worse than using another mechanic like force or whatever. Thanks for the help!

ToliverGrey Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 From my admittedly somewhat limited experience, Merc healers seem to be very desired. I often see posts "LF1M Healer HM xx prefer BH" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doozzer Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 this belongs in the BH forum. And BH healers at endgame are AWESOME. You're only 17, you don't have your whole toolbox yet. The heat system is fairly simple once you understand it, and you need to weave rapid shots into your healing rotation, they're heat free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azkit Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 When Combat Support Cylinder is active, you can use Rapid Shots as a free heal on others. Rapid Scan should not be spammed like you're describing. You want to try to stay below 40 heat at all times. When below 40 heat, heat is cooled at a rate of 5 per second. At 40 - 59(?) heat, heat is cooled at a rate of 3 per second and it just gets worse the higher you go. Right now, many people describe the Mercenary as a tank healer and the Sorcerer as a group healer. The Operative is the red-headed step child that BioWare forgot about.

TempestasSilva Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You can't spam your heals. Please look at the post that has been "stickied" at the top of the Merc threads. DJ did a great job, in fact, I'll link it so you can find it easier: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=58702 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomingoDarkrage Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I love healing as a merc. It may start out a bit boring as you do not have all the skills, but it gets easier to use and more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
