Have fun. I havent leveld the other classes to max, but Merc healer is by far my favorite class to play in WZ's.

Not a problem at all. Plenty of abilities to help you out of sticky situations, a few talent points makes it even less of a problem.

Been gone a while, but most people still feel sages are better. They definately throw up higher numbers. I have been a merc healer since launch and I think we are fine, but we could use some sort of interrupt protection. We are more of a single target healer, face-tank type. Sages are a bit more mobile and have much better AOE heals. But are squishy.

No we got a buff in 2.6. Really all they did was buff kolto shell a bit and let us put it on multiple people. Which is nice, but not that great of a buff. Outside of that, it was just some skill tree stuff that got moved around. No changes for merc/mano in 2.7 from what I have seen.

Whatsup jung ma, About to get back into SWTOR with my brother and wondering if I should transfer to POT5. Is this place dead? Mostly talking about pvp... The only name I recognize anymore is TheJanitor lol.

This spend a week pvping and get full BM. No point in making a thread about pvp if you are in recruit gear. The time it took to minimize swtor and type this could have netted you 3 pieces of BM

Really?, no skill involved at lvl 50? Spoken like someone who got rocked at lvl 50 so went back to an alt because he couldnt hack it with people who know what they are doing.

RPG = Role playing game. You are playing the ROLE of a character. The skill of that character is determined by stats from gear/buffs/etc. If you want a different type of game, thats why there are different gaming Genre's.

I have seen WZ's with 6 mercs as well...whats your point?

This is not an FPS. If you want FPS style pvp, play an FPS. This is an RPG.

Only by the forum QQ'ers. CC is the least of SWTOR's problems (its not even a problem really)

1 - No, Pyro Powertechs are very squishy, and so are Snipers. Tanking Powertechs are not squishy, but their dmg is no where near snipers. 2 - Similar numbers, different ways to apply it. Both very powerful DPS classes, I would say Powertechs are better off right now though. 3 - Depends on what spec you go. Powertechs have a pull which is great in huttball. Snipers have the best AOE cap stopper in the game + they have a greater range. Play style will be the deciding factor...but as I said, Powertech gets the advantage in pvp right now, at least judging from the top teams and the numbers.

Thats different than saying "get rid of stats in pvp". If your going to go the GW2 road I see no problem. But that is NOT what this game has chosen to do, and complaining about it is like playing Counter strike and complaining that there are no levels (like MW2 or similar titles).

MMORPG's are about gear/stat customization as much as skill. If you take away stats...your just playing a ****** FPS.

My server seems to have a decent amount of healers. I actually enjoy being the only healer sometimes. That way I am not frustrated with how bad the other ones are.
