GAMER_NOW Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I've heard some people only have 1 point in First Responders. They claim they crit enough that it's always up or close enough. Is this true/viable? As a healer, would this significantly impact my ability to heal? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helig Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) I really don't think I need that talent point somewhere else, so I use 2 points. Also, I tend to stack Aim, Alacrity and Power, so I have a fairly modest crit chance. Works perfectly well with my setup. FR uptime is very high, and the healing is very smooth.

oaceen Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 this is the current build i use for healing, and there is some downtime, but probably not much more than the usual downtime with having two points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashogy_reborn Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 When I have been healing I do not take any points in First Responders. Your crit is not going to be high enough to keep it up constantly, and the reduction in cast time you get from it is pathetic. I use a 36/10/0 build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#800dfRoRzfbkfGzZMcf.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an utter DERP healer build, IMO. I'm guessing you're strictly a PVE'er. Anyway, when I heal, I put 2 points in 1st Responder. It helps bring my main heal down to 1.8 instead of 2 seconds. Which doesn't sound like much, but every bit helps. Edited August 26, 2013 by SOULCASTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might surprise you, but most serious players have several minmaxed builds that are designed to respond to specific environment. This was a PvE build.
