Discipline abilities

Im curious (especially as a healer) which talents people are taking, especially in the heroic section. The innervate while moving for sure, but beyond that what second heroic ability are people choosing?

 

I wasnt sure if the 2% heal with bubble is worth it vs. bubble stun etc

2% heal with bubble for sure. The lower cooldown on Force Speed is nice for some fights, but heals from Static Barrier are great for survivability and caster longevity. This is from a PvE perspective, mind, but if you're looking for PvP I'd probably take:

 

Sith Defiance - Sap Strength - Oppressing Force // Emersion - Lightning Barrier // Force Mobility - Corrupted Barrier.

Have to respectfully disagree about the effectiveness of corrupted barrier in PvP. Used to have this pre 3.0 and I can comfortably say that it is not really missed and there are much better ways to spend that point.

 

I personally have the following utilities:

Skillful:

Force Suffusion - gives a small aoe heal while interrupting attacks on focused allies which provides extra cushion during gcd until you can drop serious heals

Sith Defiance- extra survivability is important considering that we are pretty squishy at our core

Empty Body- This one is non-negotiable. Healing in pvp means you're going to take a lot of damage, the 10% extra heals (this includes self heals) should not be passed up

 

Masterful:

Lightning Barrier- 10% increase on one of our most common abilities speaks for itself

Emersion- since we take so much focus fire, it's extremely important to be able to reliably break los with your attackers and h2f

Electric Bindings- also extremely useful for escaping, some people may prefer backlash depending on playstyle, but I like the extra control you have with this ability

 

Heroic:

Force Mobility- this one is a no-brainer, gives a lot more flexibility and also really cuts down on interrupts

 

I personally was very disappointed in the heroic utilities, they feel very 'meh' compared to what's available in masterful. You could make a decent case for Force Haste or Shapeless spirit, but after trying both, I found that electric bindings worked out better for my survivability and as a bonus it's very disruptive to your opponents' dps.

 

Hope this post helps.
