Azygous Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I left the game right after Smug healers became OP in healing/survivability in Ranked compared to Commando and Sage healers. Is this still the case at level 55 in organized ranked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfourcustom Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I would say so yes, but at the same time commando healers are far better off than they used to be and if you find a guild/rated team that likes to run more comps that focus on sustainability rather than full blowen out deeps than you'll fit in perfect.

-Holmes Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Each class has it's ups and downs. Right now, electro net is a good counter for a scoundrel heals (you can't enter stealth while affected by electro net) which means that there's no more "oh, trouble? *poof*" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBearsFan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I play both. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Both are fun to play. Commando definately has a higher learning curve on the high end to be really good and effective. I will tell you right now, if you want to be effective as a commando healer in PVP, you need to learn when and where to use your green beam. Too many commandos I see don't use it cuz they think "is gives them away." Well guess what, a commando medic is easy to spot anyway. So use the green beam. Even if it draws the attention of the enemy, it is a vital part of our healing abilities. Commandos got a lot better in 2.0 (as did scoundrels) and I find them very fun to play in PVP again.

Skylarc Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Smugg is still better at raw healing assuming the same skill level. Commando can survive longer when caught out of position and can soak up more white damage to stay up until a guard/peel can come. Commandos are actually a great compliment to a sage/smug healer for all the +heals they give the group. Play whatever style you like but Commando is for me:] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sowwy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I have both. Commandos are better than they were, but I do not know where the meta-game will place them in a few weeks. However, I'm doing well and keeping pace with OP/Sage healers in the WZ, often out healing them - which was never the case before. I also prefer my commando for single target healing and electro net is far more useful vs melee than I anticipated. In some situations its more welcomed than anything my OP has in their tool box.

SkinzOCAU Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It is still the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzor Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I play and enjoy all three healers. Commando however, is the least tactically effective in warzones, just because sages and scoundrels can get around the warzones much faster. Still I enjoy playing combat medic because there are so few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
