Need some info on pvp healing

[Exiled-Phoenix]

Hello, i recently started an operative healer for pvp (only pvp) and i'm not always sure i'm doing ok in terms of rotation.

I know that in PvE you can hold better to a set rotation (and only divert from it in emergencies) to maintain energy.

 

As i never really healed intensely in PvE, i never had to learn a good energy management system and in PvP its pretty much heal heal heal until you are killed and respawn....

 

Still i find myself sometimes living long enough to run out of energy and already have used my regen probe.

 

At the moment i use these 'tactics':

- use Recuperative Nanotech on CD (big energy eater but works well in cluster f... battles)

- on single targets that seem to be dying: use kolto injection, then 2 stacks of kolto probe, then kolto infusion, then heal up with surgical probe to regain energy.

- kolto infusion and injection on lesser damage to keep peoples health up.

- surgical probes on myself (to not waste to much time and be able to help the team)

- kolto waves + Recuperative Nanotech only if a lot of people are below 50% health

- kolto waves after a battle/clearing a node to heal up people quicker.

- diagnostic scan if people are taking nearly no damage

- diagnostic scan if i am out of energy.

 

Atm i have about 6.8% alacrity.

 

If anyone can give me some tips to maintain energy better it would be appreciated.

If you're running out of energy a lot, then you're doing something wrong. I very rarely have to use my adrenaline probe, and it's extremely rare that I need it when it's on cd.

 

This is my strategy:

If people are not very close to dying, the first step should be to apply 2 stacks of kolto probes. Once you've done this, you can start using surgical probe and recuperate nanotech.

If people are very close to death (1-2 hits), start with surgical probes to get them at a manageable health level. Then you can use RN to keep them steady while you cast a bigger heal.

Kolto waves is a very good, nearly-free aoe heal, and I use it whenever there's a clump of people, regardless of health level.

I think your biggest mistake is that you use injection/infusion when people only have a little damage taken. These heals can destroy your energy if used often, and people are constantly taking damage.
