Alluyyn Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi, im kinda new to SWTOR after a long break, just a short question, what healer classes are currently viable in PvP? What are the pro/contras of the different healers in PvP? Any class totally OP or absolutely not viable? Thanks in advance for any info you can give me!

jedcjedcjedc Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) they're all viable. Currently Sorc healer reigns supreme but it depends on what you're doing and how well you play each of the classes. Operatives have the top potential hps, but require a lot of micromanaging with keeping their probes up on people and they have a bit of a hard time dealing with focus in things like ranked. Sorcs don't have as high of a potential (not to say that theirs is low at all) but they can reach it easier, so you'll usually see Sorcs topping the heals. Unfortunately merc heals are at the bottom of the list in healing potential, in single and multi-target healing. kolto shot deals less healing than a basic attack and it is your filler heal. your "big" heals (which are also your burst heals) have a pretty decent cd. 12 as opposed to sorcs having none on their two original heals and 9 on innervate and Ops having 9 on kolto infusion and and their second AoE heal lower than the CD of our second ST heal, 10s on Kolto waves, which has less than half the cd of emergancy scan at 21 seconds. the one thing Bodyguards have ahead of the others is using the high heat kolto bomb on cooldown since it has 6s CD. Outside of emergancy scan/healing scan (and only when they crit) the rest of your heals heal for less than the damage going towards you or a teammate. this makes SCG and power surge very important.

Alluyyn Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) @jedc thanks for the good explaination! Edited March 24, 2017 by Alluyyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verfallen Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 He makes a very good point tough. From a dps point of view, standard way to deal with merc healer can be "ignore them, if we pump enough dps they'll overheat". In his case tough, I lolslash on cooldown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
