nhsknudsen Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yeah just no, just spend an entire FP in story mode in my lvl 65 gear as a 70 healer but everyone ignored that fact and ran around spamming kolto making me redundant for an entire flashpoint. I of course contributed with force storm on trash dps but ehh.. Either you remove RNG from crates and let us pick what we want out of those crates (ie. set to focus healing gear) or you remove Kolto Stations.

Neshira Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 No thanks. I rely on those stations for when I'm running with beginning healers who aren't quite good yet (how are they going to learn if I don't let them practice?) or when it's a particularly tough op and my healer is overwhelmed.

Rothie Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 you know you don't have to be in healer mode during the flash point to get healing gear, just have to be in it when you open the crates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did a uprising as a DPS and leveled up during it. When I got out I switched my Galactic Command role to healer then opened my crate.... and got DPS gear.

It is still incredibly ******. Seen smugglers get sabers in their crates. Its all random. Figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demotivator Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Seen smugglers get sabers in their crates. Its all random. Pretty sure you mean the unmodded weapons/gear, bind on equip. Then it is not an issue, these things are meant to be traded. It is like complaining that your smuggler is getting a sith inquisitor armor piece from an alliance supply crate (the ones you get from heroics).

AllisonLightning Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I love flashpoints where people know rotation and that kolto stations aren't just there to look pretty. It's awesome if I'm low on energy when people ignore the stations and let me be the only healer... just kidding, love all you guys who remember that your healer works with you to keep you alive.

If you want healer gear you need to be specced as a healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Seen smugglers get sabers in their crates. Its all random. My sorc got an empty-shell sniper rifle in her first crate. And a mildly unattractive 228-green helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again their putting unmodded organge gear you can send to all, if you look that sniper was mind on equip... and 2 the heltme might be unattracted butmore like better gear also xD that's why the designed the outfit maker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Seen smugglers get sabers in their crates. Its all random. Cosmetic items (orange) aren't "gear".

And yes, of course, I use Outfit Designer. That particular character has twelve slots in use for those ... moments.

AlixMV Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 commando dps here, I keep getting healer implants, gear is eliminator but left side seems random Your Implants might be named 'medic' or whatever, but DPS and Heal implants are functionally identical. They'll work just fine for your DPS spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neshira Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 How are they going to learn if you take their practice away by pressing Kolto? They can practice but sometimes they aren't going to be good enough to keep me or themselves alive. I need the kolto for those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll work just fine for your DPS spec. well on my current set already have enough alac from augs. If I use the drops I'm having a lot of alacrity at expenses of crit, and I like big pew pew.

If you want healer gear you need to be specced as a healer. So whats the point of selecting your GC role? I guess it could be for aesthetics, or redundancy since it's connected to the Group Finder . commando dps here, I keep getting healer implants, gear is eliminator but left side seems random I recently got an acc implant while my role and spec was heals. Im talking about the actual gear btw, not the schematics. The other peice I orginally posted about was DPS set bonus bracers.

We are talking about developrs who think that you need accuracy in WZ, don't forget that. It wouldn;'t surprise me if they would think that healer needs accruracy.
