I have created a smuggler and just blasting through the first few levels, in preparation for when I have to choose my skills and crew skills I was looking for any suggestions that people may have. I am going for the healer role, I would like any advice to help make the most of that class. Thanks.

Google Scoundrel healer templates, stat priorities, and rotations to learn everything you need to know if you aren't motivated to discover it on your own (which is part of the fun).

 

Keep in mind that stat priorities are changing with the expansion which will probably role live before you are lvl 50.

Noxxix.com is a great place to begin your research on this. I normally look at what they have and modify it to suit my vision of my character.
