benovide Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Mercs/Commandos stop quing as healers! Queue up as DPS. Even if you're bodyguard of medic build que as DPS. As a secondary function is where commandos and mercs shine as healers. Not as the primary healer. You make as blood as healers as the assassins/shadows are tanks.

I will take your complete unsolicited advice and play the game you want me to play, rather than the game I've been subbing to for 2 years. I will be expecting your credit card info in a PM so you can pay for my sub since I am supposed to play the game you want me to play, rather than the game I want to play.

uanaka Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I've only been playing for a few weeks, but man are you ignorant. I have both a mercenary and assassin, and they can both tank 55 ops and heal 55 ops just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomlash Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hmm. If you're on Begeren Colony, remind me not to heal you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benovide Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 They are the worse for the specific roles. They lose more heat/ammo to heal and are slower to heal (no one bothers to grab alacrity) and can never keep up with group heals. As a secondary role they are perfect. In primary role. They cause the team to fail in staying alive. Stuck in a team with merc healer and assassin tank. You'll never complete the op. Or hm. Because your entire team will continue to be wiped. And no I would never want you to heal me. The tank if they are half decent will be the only person on the team taking damage. If others are taking damage. You're a worthless tank. If you can't keep up heals for keeping your tank alive. You are a worthless healer. The mechanics are against merc/commando medics. As they are against Sith assassin tanks.

I should just quote that without any comment. For the slight chance that you actually believe what you write, you should have a look at the group compositions of the best guilds for nightmare mode operations .

benovide Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 I have. And have yet to see one config of using a merc/comm as a dedicated healer. And assassins as dedicated tanks ever make it passed a second boss. Can't even find a YouTube of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benovide Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Mercenaries and commandos are meant to be support healers. Not primary healers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THoK-Zeus Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) I have. And have yet to see one config of using a merc/comm as a dedicated healer. And assassins as dedicated tanks ever make it passed a second boss. Can't even find a YouTube of one. Oh, why am i even writing... World First and Second TFB Nightmare Mode both used Assassin Tank + Mercenary Healer World First and Second SV Nightmare Mode both used Assassin Tank + Mercenary Healer World First DF HM 2 Assassin Tanks World First DP HM Assassin Tank ... I suggest you look up the Progression Tracking Threads of the different NiM/HM Operations. Oh and i made it past a second boss (past last bosses), both on my assassin tank and on my mercenary healer Edited December 29, 2013 by THoK-Zeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guildmate regularly goes over 2k and he's not even geared yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
