Spraynpray, we'll actually be starting 8:30 PM server time (EDT). I'll add you to my friends list and make sure you get invited to the ops group so you can see what grouping with us is like. Looking forward to healing with you!

Hey N'bake, thank you for replying. I went ahead and forwarded your message to both the guild leader and the raid team leader. They will be in contact with you (make sure to be checking your SWTOR forum private messages in case they contact you that way).

Great video, and nice to highlight what operatives and scoundrels can do even with the 2.7 nerf.

Hey guys, I'm a scoundrel healer for Team Honeybee of <eXile>, a republic guild. Our guild is a small but dedicated premier operations guild, and we are always trying to be the best we can be. Our first team, #poundsign, is tackling Nightmare Mode content and currently fill in for the missing spots in Team Honeybee. Team Honeybee is just a few weeks old but is progressing quickly. We are currently 5/5 on Hard Mode Dread Fortress and 3/5 on Hard Mode Dread Palace. If the group composition is locked in and consistent I'm sure we will be working on Nightmare Mode content in no time at all. We are currently looking for a healer and tank to fill open positions in our team! We raid on Friday from 8:30 to 11:00 pm server time and Saturday 8:00 to 11:00 pm server time as well. If you are ready to do DF and DP HM, are a tank or healer, and can run those times please get in contact with me (Bayani), the guild leader (Tindatank), or Team Honeybee's leader (Xarkm). You can also reply to this post with your character name and alts or apply at our website at http://www.exile-guild.net/ and we will get in contact with you!

Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? People still need to farm HM DP and now they have to worry about a NiM mechanic to clear it? AND story mode too? AND you aren't fixing it until 2 and a half weeks from now? What a fail. Horrible customer service.

My thread over here is updated. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=507204

Added some information where I used Inovisible's spreadsheet model to prove that 462 critical rating is ideal if you have 470 surge.

What is a good server for Republic PVP?

Made a few changes to the guide including changing the wording on some things and adding notes from learning more as I go along. I also removed a lot of references to parsing because I have decided that parsing is a poor way of measuring healing ability.

The spots have been filled. Thanks everyone!

I decided to update the guide. Surprise!

Personally, I use Kolto Cloud enough to make good use of the 2 piece set bonus. The 4 piece set bonus, while useful, is definitely up to your healing style and personal preference. If you can maintain your energy to not need that extra 5, then you might get more mileage out of upgrading those 69's to 78 armorings if you lose the set bonus.

Classicks's guide is not outdated. It's a pretty well done guide. I can think of a couple of reasons off the top of my head of why you need a minimum of 450 alacrity. 1. Surge has huge diminishing returns past 247. So anything above 247 is giving you less and less critical bonus, whereas alacrity's diminishing returns don't happen until much later past 1300. 2. The Accomplished Sawbones talent gives you 30% more critical bonus to some of your main heals anyway. 2. Somewhere between 400 and 500 alacrity, the cast time of Kolto Pack will match the global cooldown, effectively making it have no cast time at all. 3. Around 450 alacrity lets you cast 11 global cooldowns of spells before refreshing your first slow release medpac, while having less than 450 alacrity lets you only cast 10. I think it highly depends on your healing style and your healing partner to decide how much alacrity you want. Some people think of achieving a minimum alacrity then putting the rest in Surge. That's a simple way of putting it.

<eXile> is a brand new, Republic, endgame focused guild with skilled players and a casual, close knit environment. Our first team, #poundsign, formed in 2/15/2014 and currently has the following operations down: 5/5 HM DF 5/5 HM DP 4/5 NiM TFB 3/7 NiM S&V We've recently started forming a 2nd team to raid on Friday and Saturday evenings, including myself as a healer. We are currently seeking 2 DPS to fill out permanent spots in our team, while alts from #poundsign fill in until the permanents spots are filled. Think you have what it takes to be an <eXile>?

WARNING: This guide is very outdated and I've learned a lot about healing since it was written. There have also been several changes with the inclusion of new relics and new boss mechanics. I suggest you read another guide, while some of this information is still useful, Classicks's guide is very good and some of the other guides in this forum.
