#BuffMercs

So what am I gonna do about character names, considering I have four chars on different servers with the same exact name Not to mention possibly losing char names when people take others. Address please.

Welp.... Hi there, been maining an op healer since 2013 Endured the sage madness of the last 18 months, watched the merc hilarity of the last six months, finally felt like this latest round back in July or whatever, that operatives had finally achieved a level of PvP parity. You know, when not scrambling for our lives from three guys taking advantage of our nonexistant survivability while engaged or healing our allies... But hey, lets just knock the operative down another peg, weaken proactive healing, destroy or cripple what meager burst potential existed.... So the new heirarchy of heals goes.... Merc Sorc Marauder Operative No that was not a mistake. Your quest to bring HPS fluff numbers in line just completely ended the viability of a spec in PvP entirely. We wont even be able to keep ourselves alive, much less anyone else. *********** stupid.

Keep the dailies at this level It is not game breaking People are actually running old content. There is zero reason to revert

99 percent of the time Ortuno damage is their own fault though. Probes + a few top offs is all anything but the tank ever needs if they dont stand in stupid. =/ Amazes me to this day, how the same people that have founder tags and so on, still dont understand basic mechanics. Come to think of it, even the four you listed are mostly player made mistakes vs real healchecks. Off the top of my head the only FP "healchecks" are knowing when to cleanse, such as with Tunneler and the droid guy in Tython. (even korriban incursion is all about moving away from circles). Blows my mind man. But if the team wipes, I promise you its the healer's fault.

I only pug FPS because its better than soloing most of them, takes too long (hammer vet takes me 30 minutes or so but I can do it alone). Healer + comp can solo almost every vet mode FP, and even a couple Master modes. But why do that when you can pug up some free deeps, i guess? How there is so much fail among players in this game baffles me, especially when you get that pug group that wants to go mega slow and deliberate, when you yourself could aggro three trash spawns worth of NPCs and probably kill them before the other three even managed to kill a gold.

Take them out if a healer is present, seriously. No healer worth anything can fail at any flashpoint content, with a couple very specific master mode fights being a little tougher. No "good" healer will fail, period. DPS and tanks should not be hitting these heal stations, just hit the goddamned boss. Seriously. It is probably my biggest pet peeve in the game, especially when I am winding up a big heal on someone, ive got them, and they panic mode and fastclick because they dont trust their healer. its just stupid AND for those with less experience as healers, it takes away from learning how to manage in the clutch. Stations in vet mode make learning the class nearly impossible outside of Master mode, where the crutch no longer exists. There are some vet runs I do where i just give up healing entirely and just overload shot the bosses because some click happy marauder moron needs my DPS just to get the fight over with. A dps healing, and a healer dpsing. Makes total sense.

You mean the "crouching right in the middle of the road on a sunny day as 30 guys on horseback that cant see you ride by" kind? I know that kind....

Best part is when your team double caps and youve been farming them all match, and your score instantly ends the match XD

Istotopes (they will always be known by this name, we do not forget) are the cause of 5.4 to be a failure? Dude, I have over 1500 of them. They were candy. They have almost no value. Now maybe they will have value. Chillax.

You are a little slow, arent you? If that character is Valor 55, then it has probably participated in over 100 (its closer to 400 when its mostly losses) matches. 35 wins, pubside harbinger, in prime or latenight, out of probably 300-400 matches played Now do you understand? I am answering the OP. If you play pub on Harb, and youre pugging or just queueing solo, you will yield less than 1 in 10 wins because the pubs suck horribly. Even if youre a good player yourself, you will never achieve parity. Might as well go back imp and 50/50 it vs your own faction. The flip side, is as soon as organized pubs (imps flip back to pub toons anyway) show up in the queues, the imps quit for a couple hours.

Some perspective A newer character of mine is Valor 55 I have 35 wins I pug Figure that one out.

I giggled at "a little" Yes, set them up to fail, watching fotm players reroll to operatives and become utter trashcans overnight was one of the most satisfying experiences I have had in PvP in quite some time. At least the ones that rolled to merc seemed to be able to stay alive, i wonder why that is...
