Didn't read much of the thread, but my friend & I duoed Hammer Station and Cademimu wearing full PvP gear (so only 63-65 stuff) using a companion tank equipped with crafted... Scoundrel healer, Commando DPS, companion tank and dps. Some of the bosses like the first in Hammer and the Wookie in Cademimu were pretty intense healing but not too hard. Most of the 55 HM bosses don't actually do much damage and are insanely easy to heal as long as you avoid their mechanics (scorch etc in hammer, first and last bosses in Cad...)

You shouldn't be trying to get 2mil + heals. The healing 'scoreboard' doesn't really tell you much about your performance in a match, it tells you more about the overall type or balance of game you had. I've never broken 2mil myself, and I don't recall ever seeing any healers get over 2mil. Had around 1.5mil quite a few times and I remember seeing other healers with 1.7-1.8mil. Those were all games where I was in a fight that basically never ended. i.e: a close civil war or hypergate where I was healing in the mid for the whole match. I haven't dumped all crit or all surge from my gear. I've got a bit of both but definitely focused mainly on power and alacrity. Personally I take more pride in my 'damage taken' stat in warzones.. Cracking 2mil there proves you had an interesting time.

I'm a full time PvP healer (scoundrel) and I will say two things: 1) healing is definitely a bit too strong at the moment 2) 80% of players don't use their interrupt enough (or at all)

I was in a Civil War where the middle node was never capped due to healer blobbing and we won 20-0 due to a friendly delaying their side cap for 15 seconds.

The trick is to keep both Risha and Akaavi on the line without either finding out.

You should either use items with expertise mods in every slot, or items with no expertise at all. Don't mix & match. I think if you still have BM pieces with their set bonus then keeping the BM armourings and using mod/enhancement from partisan/conquerer is probably comparable to using war hero armourings and pve mod/enhance. Sadly I think I've lost my BM set bonuses because I overwrote them with WH armourings and have since removed the WH armourings which looks like it broke the WH set bonus too since the WH armourings aren't slot specific any more...... I want that 15% kolto cloud set bonus back...

That's the same for every class that has stealth. You can't stealth in combat while soloing or the encounter resets... At low level you probably are fairly reliant on cover/crouch to use Charged Burst for damage but once you get more abilities that won't be the case. At 55 I only ever crouch to use Sabotage Charge. Damage with Shoot First, Back Blast, Blaster Whip, Sabo Charge, Thermal Grenade and Freighter Flyby.. and Akaavi Spar. =)

1. How often do you see hackers in game? -> I've never seen something that I thought was hacking in game. 2. How positive are you that the person is hacking? -> N/A 3. Do you have proof of any hacking? -> I've seen conclusive evidence on Youtube 4. If you are sure it is indeed hacks and not a bug or lag, please describe what hacks you have seen in game. -> N/A 5. What server on you on? -> Master Dar'Nala I've seen bug abusers like bypassing walls in voidstar, >8 people in a WZ etc (although not recently) but I've never seen any speed/target hacking.

I don't know why you would say stealth is useless as Sawbones.. You should still be using Shoot First to start fights, same as a scrapper.

Are you saying that the tech power/force power of weapons (which is set by the rating of the hilt/barrel) is affected by the bolster as well? I know the actual weapon damage is affected (all weapons are buffed to underworld level I think) but I didn't realise that the tech/force power was too.

I have not personally seen any untargetable players or speed hacking. I have seen videos on youtube of them though. I've seen many people cheating using bugs, although not a lot recently as most of them were fixed. Example, the > 8 player in a WZ bug was heavily abused when it was still possible. I saw people abuse the bug to get into the field in voidstar before the game started a few times. I've seen people bypass the bridge in voidstar when the forcefields were still up a few times. I'd say hacking exists (due to the fact I've seen youtube videos which make it VERY clear) but it's not a very rampant problem since I've never personally noticed it and I've done a LOT of WZs.

2x > Valor R70 toons and 0 flashpoints/ops completed. Yeah baby.

I levelled as sawbones and it's easy as. The dps is still good enough. By the time I shoot first, grenade, back blast, sab charge & blaster whip everything is pretty much dead and you move on to the new group. Freighter flyby and grenade wipe out a whole group in seconds. For gold stars you knock off a pretty decent chunk with shoot first, dirty kick, back blast, sab charge and blaster whip and then you have to heal yourself while your companion and vital shot/flurry does the rest. Of course scrapper will be faster but my point is soloing as sawbones is still incredibly easy.

Master Dar'Nala is getting to the point now where there sometimes aren't enough people queued in the 55 bracket to get a WZ pop. Tonight I got a pop at about 11:05, it was a huttball 6vs7.. not even a full game.. it lasted about 2 minutes, then I got no more pops for around 25 minutes (so there simply weren't enough people queued) until one full 8v8 spawned, then 2 games in a row that were short on players and ended early. If it gets to the point where I can't get WZ pops any more there will be no reason to keep playing. If people playing 11-12pm give up and stop playing, then all of a sudden 9-10 will struggle as well, then 8-9.. its a cascade. Shame really, I'm still enjoying playing despite all of the current problems with WZs.
