Kenjer Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 This is more than likely a L2P issue (i am new to healing), but I'm having a lot of trouble staying alive as a healer in the 30-54 bracket on my 31 Merc healer. It seems like after throwing down Kolto missle, i will often die before i can get more than 1 hardcast heal off. Even 1 DPS can seem to whittle me down faster than i can heal it back up. Obviously if i have my shield cooldown available i can last a bit longer, but i really don't know what i'm doing wrong. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't stay stationary unless you need to cast one of your big heals Use kolto missile as much as you can on yourself or whenever your teammates are stacked up. Whenever the incoming damage is moderate use Rapid Shots (while moving around) instead of one of your big heals Don't remember if you have Hydraulic Overrides at 31, but if you do use them whenever you get cornered. It gets better after a while. And on the plus side, it's excellent practice. If you manage to learn how to stay alive at 31 with what little escapes you have, imagine how good you'll be at 50+ when you'll have all your CDs.

birdsomething Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) just remember that Kolto missle counts for about 90% of your heals. if you have 2 melee on you, pop Hydro override and kite and heal using rapid shots and kolto missle, and bacta infusion when you hit 45. if you have only 1 melee, you should be able to cast. ALSO your positioning needs to be behind your team. not in the middle or at back. this way they have to overextend to kill you Edited September 20, 2014 by birdsomething Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterRequiem Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Do remember that you are at the very bottom of your bracket. The other players will all have a significant advantage over. It happened to me when i first did lvl 31 pvp, I went from dominating to getting wiped out myself. It gets easier as you level up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaoZhao Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 You should never be killed by just one DPS. If the enemy is ranged, hide behind objects. If the enemy is melee, stun them and run. If they break the stun, hit them with concussion missile and take off. Stand next to friendly snipers, whenever possible. Even really bad, selfish snipers don't like it when enemies are close to them and will probably knock them back for you. You can target rapid shots at yourself, and should do so whenever you're running. Kite, kite, kite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
