Biochem is indeed useful, I'm using it as an assassin (tank spec), and in my early 30s I don't have a healing companion yet (except the annoying droid that cannot be used without a nervous breakdown....). The only problem is that I'm at about 120 biochem, and hit a "wall" in the progression: I never have materials enough to build medpacs suitable to my level.... Do you have any suggestions on how to level biochem efficiently without spending a fortune to buy mats? thanks in advance

I don't agree Sir. I find Hutta one of the best starting worlds, far far better than the terribly boring Tython..... As far as classes are concerned, I have an Assassin (tank tree) in his early 30s, and it's fun to play, although probably something is still missing (late bloomer?). The story is great though The BH's story is very nice, and the plus it's the fact of being located on Hutta I've started a Sage, it will be a DPS sage: I also find the sorceror's lightning a bit boring on the long run, much better the telekinetics effects of the Sage (although it's true it kills throwing pebbles, as someone said before ) I think the different opinions we all have testify the good quality of the game!
