Barnacleface Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am currently leveling as an operative healer and I am lvl27 at the moment. When I don't need to be healing I like to contribute to the damage whether I'm soloing or in a group situation. I have been experimenting with different ways to deal damage and for some reason it seems like it is most energy/dmg efficient to use my Cover-only abilities. Am I imagining things? Explosive probe is kind of expensive but it is like a 20sec cooldown and it does pretty awesome damage. Snipe isn't all that great but I can regen energy while it is casting. On top of that, it is generally better if healers stay out of melee range so they don't take unnecessary damage. Is this a silly idea and should I just stick to running in and knifing folks? I am obviously nowhere close to having all my abilities and still experimenting with things so any perspective on this would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selais Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You should be stood in melee range for pretty much everything. AE damage aside from bosses is minimal and all your dmg comes from <10m attacks. Snipe and EP are not adding much damage and are not energy efficient anyway.
