  1. Man i remember Goon Squads massive settlement outside of Theed... My friends and i built one of the first Player Citys outside of Mos Taike. Good stuff.
  2. Some of RIFTs expert dungeons where lengthy. Deepstrike Mines and Iron Tombs come to mind. Much longer than most of the flashpoints ive experienced so far.
  3. Huttball is amazing. Those fire traps though... Time is running out! Somebody kill someone!
  4. I agree with this. I used macros for a bit in WoW, before i left, Then used them on occasion really only for an o-sh-t heal in RIFT. I don't use macros. I also don't get the argument that you NEED them to heal effectively in PvP and End Game PvE. It's simply not true. Maybe get a programmable mouse / keyboard? Not the same, i know . I agree that mouse over targeting / target of target would be nice, but macros i could do completely without. As a 30's commando, I've done just fine in all of the flashpoints i've ran. And if you want to know about how well i'm doing healing WZs, ask a Republic player on Daragon Trail.
  5. @ 26 as a Commando with all points spent in Combat Medic, I've crafted all possible components for M1-4X. The custom motors are nice because i can drop blue and purple mods into them, but the blue droid components fair just as well. I've also crafted most of the mods im waring, though i just replaced a few of them with all of the Nar Shadda commendations i never used. Now that im on Tatooine, im realllly happy i was able to craft all of that stuff for 4X. So far he's got me out of some serious trouble as hes able to Tank quite well. I might regret not going Biochem when i hit 50 and want to heal through the end game content, but so far i've yet to have an issue in any of the Flashpoints. As long as i've got a good offtank to pick up adds, and the group understand the boss mechanics, i rarely run out of ammo and can get away with saving Rechage Cells until the very last moments of the fight when people are spamming everything they've got.
  6. Try rallying your team together at the beginning of a match? Everytime i launch into Voidstar, i request the team pick one side and pound on it when assaulting. I follow and heal whoever takes the lead. Ive won almost every voidstar match ive played as a commando healer. The 3 cap is just getting the team split up correctly and reminding them to call incomming, as needed. Huttball, well.. Huttball can be tough. I dont think everyone realizes they can pass the ball yet. I've also seen my team run it the wrong way a few times. The game has only been out officially, for a day though. Give people some time to learn the mechanics.
  7. As a Commando, im always around 4-5 medals with 100k + healing done. The thing is, I dont heal to earn medals. I heal to win. I think any healing class could go stand in the sh*t and spam until the medals begin to roll in.
  8. I was a clicker for the longest time as well. I've been playing MMOs since EQ launch, but never took the time to keybind until i had to when i played my first healer in Rift. Fast forward to now. I picked up a Razer Naga a few months ago and it quite literally changed the way i play MMOs. I have every single ability mapped to a 1 to = key (or modifier + key.) My hand only leaves my mouse to type. I still use wasd to move around as well, but my keyboard hand almost never leaves those 4 keys. Moving my pinky for a Shift or Ctrl modifier is about as much as my left hand moves when in combat. I can do everything else with my right hand. Talk in vent, select a convo dialog option, heal, switch hotbars to DPS, emergency target switch, start a fraps recording, etc. I could never go back to being a clicker. I've seen the light.
