  1. Anyway, as this thread is pretty much derailed now im going to stop posting as its not constructive. Genuine thanks to everyone that took the time to post: help/advice/suggestions - i honestly do appreciate your time and i did take all points on board hence starparse and posting a video. And once more apologies for my drunkard rambling posts! Be safe out there and may the force be with you
  2. Who said im not figuring it out? I have already said countless times in this thread that 95% of the time i finish top for my team by quite a margin. I have presented a concern from what i see daily and in actual fact i want a mando to come here and post a screen shot of them doing 10mil heals so i can then chat either on discord or in game to thrash out the minutiae in order for me to hit the 10mil mark on a regular basis. A lot of the advice posts thus far are situational - ie GCD's, positioning etc. The advice given which i havent tried, i have even posted and said ive taken it on board.... An ideal would be for an accomplished mando healer to post but they seem in short supply - why is that? Merc healers seem to be in nearly every match i play but the same cant be said for mando's. This is fact. As above - and if you read the thread you will have seen i use keybinds on my sawbones healer - because its mainly insta casts which keybinds help with. Your whole little rant here is a moot point. Yes keybinds are a significant advantage to pvp but when most of my heals are casts / channelled, with or without keybind doesnt really make much difference coz i cant cast anything whilst im waiting for one to complete. The only insta which would help is kolto bomb or procs but then im already about to double click it whilst the previous cast is going.. The actual nature of this thread is totally the opposite of what you are suggesting here. Im quitting because i "suck and refuse to improve"???.....im genuinely amazed at this comment. As above and the entire thread. Are you able to read and process words presented? Hopefully arthritis will have set in for me by then as i will be over 60 and i wont have to suffer "experienced" people making inflaming basless posts. Once more where are you getting this concept i cant keybind?! Read....and.....process....the......words..... Did someone leave the gate open at the "experienced" farm again???
  3. Not to prove a point but.... anecdotal /ˌanɪkˈdəʊtl/ Learn to pronounce adjective (of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research. My facts/research: speaking with other players, comparing star parse experiments, countless hours reading guides, watching videos, posting in the pvp forum for advice, playing the class in warzones, asking other mandos on their experience of pvp Your post is....confusing at best talking about me discovering some consipracy or whatever lol. Literally have no idea what you are on about and i dont think you do either - come across very trollish, not sure if thats your angle/intention. I came asking for advice and support based on what i was seeing as fact at the end of warzones. My 22 years of pvp experience is actually quite poignant as it gives a base of comparison, reference and reflection as opposed to someone that has maybe only played 1 game for a couple years. Anyway thankyou for your inputs and im going to follow some advice given to me years ago: "never get in to an argument with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience" You are clearly far more experienced than i.... Have fun!
  4. I apologise if you think its being ridiculous to post for advice. However, i havent just played the game for a few weeks. Ive played on and off since launch. I have said myself that mercs are the imp version of commando. This is the basis for my posting here and now subsequently speaking with the feedback team. My posts last night were influenced by 2 bottles of red wine and playing a sorc doing insane damage without really trying much. Thats never been the case for me on my mando. My experiences have been baeed on star parse experiments and speaking with other players in game. One thing i will hastly add is that pvp isnt rocket science, yes its skillfull and takes time to master but warzone is entry level. I think i have said in previous posts ive pvp-ed in MMOs for over 22 years now so please dont speak to me as if im an idiot. My statements of 'show me a mando do 10m" may sound flippant however i am genuinely asking. Ive been pvping for upto 10hours a day since coming back to game properly and ive never seen one do over 6m. All the suggestions of keybinding may account for a few heals here and there but not a 4-5mil gap. Especially when using chanelled spells. All of the above therefore is not anecdotal evidence and actual personal experience and research. I will ignore your "grow up" as less than constructive. In the meantime as i so elquently put last night whilst intoxicated (/facepalm) , i wont be bothering anymore with pvp as i do now firmly believe its in a sad state overall. Thats my view based on my experience in the game and 22 years of other games. /tips hat //apologies for the drunkard posting!
  5. Just re-read that - was tongue in cheek btw - didnt mean for it to come across as sexist as it reads ! Imagine it said in a Jason Statham / Guy Ritchie tone!.....coz that could be less.........sexist.....................maybe :S
  6. hats off to the women - they like to think they keep our species going but can they pump 10 mil heals in a warzone in cover of a mando healer.....i just dont see it. Yes they can birth the continuation of our lineage....but 10 mil heals.....ya avin a roman luv
  7. So. do you play a mando healer. Do you do more than 6mil heals. If so, lets see the footage. Question: Do you play a republic class, if so which?
  8. In that case - make a mando healer and screenshot for me, you doing 10mil heals. Nuff said. Edit: Ive spent the last 8 weeks trying to get my gaming community to jump on to SWTOR and to be fair the most have for the PvE part. They have all paid subs and they have all dived in as i begged them. They are all experienced pvp-er's / mmo players (having originated either from DAoC or EQ2). Unfortunately - the general consensus is this games pvp is fkd - not even remotely fkd but totally and utterly fkd. This totally based on warzone experience and god forbid the total anal annihilation that is "ranked pvp".... PVP Tier Balancing: Tier1 - Hello i know how to hold a pencil Tier 2 - Hello EA knows how to hold a pencil and draw a pvp dragon donkey Tier 3 - Hi i play ranked and sneeze and the server dies if i play in a warzone....oh and your pvp dragon donkey dies also....whilst i stand over it corpse and gloat via emotes Tier 4 - Omg i can warp all over the warzone and blame it on server sync balance eventhough everyone but my own team acknowledges I am a hacker providing i win (filmed that ****) Fyi - I hacked the server and found the algorithm for pvp matching:... EA + European Football Superleague Equation = :Tier 1 meets Tier 300. =+-Tier Numpty7 meets Elevnty4 -=+Tier Wassma-name meets Hi im Jim +-= Tier RankedmeetsToxisbunchopriks So yeah. Im done. F**k this game and f**k EA. PvP is horrendous - theres zero incentive or balance. Bring back expertise or w/e the fk it was called. Dont get me wrong its not unplayable but when i watch 1 PT or Sorc stub their toe and see 6 raid members die from the toenail fallout (hashtag_toenaildeathisrealyo).. well ... game_isfkdyo And as much as i hate to say it - anyone that poo-poos my post.......clearly plays a sorc or a PT Peace out Swtor Forum. Genuinely appreciated the people who tried to balance the unbalanceable! PS - did i mention: GFY EA And yes. The wine has been consumed. /thumbs
  9. Overhealing - I try to avoid healing someone at full, obviously this is easier said than done when AE healing Damage - Games where there is 10mil heals are normally linked with associated damage so i understand your concept but doesnt really stack up on odds of matches; that being even if there is a massive damage gap, i still havent seen mando healers above 6m. Stat / BiS - As mentioned in previous posts, ive chatted at length with a merc who pumped 11m in a match. Our stats are almost identical. So this is a moot point. Myriad of reasons - Yes this could be correct however the nature of what ive been doing the last 4 weeks is trying to negate these myriad of reasons and ive been unsuccessful As soon as someone finds a mando pumping over 6m heals a warzone then please send me their contact details! In the meantime, i have an A4 list of Mercs that ive seen doing it
  10. Hey thanks for the post. In relation to the AE stuff, i do use progressive scan alot due to the ae at the end, and also kolto bomb. I have only really focused on pvp on my mando since the game launched so i am quite familiar with it through the different game builds. As mentioned i was at Valor 60 when 60 was the cap and was using the Combat Medic set gear. I think this is what makes me more frustrated is i remember what pvp healing on a mando used to be like - and it just seems meh nowadays. One thing i will add is ive been mixing up different tacticals and my overall healing has gone up a mill or 2 depending on situation, but still a long way of the 10mil mark. Ive since used a token and now playing a sith sorc at 75 - first couple of runs in warzone and im pumping out 6-7 mil dps and the gear isnt even optimised which in itself is insane. Its a fun class but i feel dirty playing an imp I am also desperately keeping a weathered eye to spot a mando healer doing more than 6mil heals in a warzone - still not seen one!
  11. I use keybinds on my sawbones for pve but would it speed things up enough to get another 5 million healing on this ^^ I agree with what you are saying about speeding up but as per video im AoE healing which doesnt require much mouse movement, and cooldown on mando is still cooldown that cant be changed. I feel the benefit with Sawbones due to insta casting up raid team but im not sure i agree that mando healing will be drastically increased because of millisecond frame target changing. If i remember rightly, near the end of the video im just targeting same player and keeping the 2 ae's on CD via mouse, not sure how that can be improved with the use of keybinds. The mercs ive now spoken to that are doing 9-11mil healing are focusing only on the AE heals - which is what i did through the vid. /shrug
  12. I had a pocket healer near the end hence not worrying too much about self heals. I was as usual desperately trying to up the overall heals. Cant see much more i can do. Ended on around 5m heals and most of the match was similar to this.
  13. Another update - Please dont get annoyed with my constant posts - dont know where else to turn and want to get to the bottom of this So i ran the parse during a warzone. Was stood unimpeded, had 4 team members fighting infront of me - all taking damage with avg 70% health (so health to be restored). Decided to focus on 1 player and commenced rotation whilst adding in the affects of kolto bomb etc for the ae heal on the other 3 players. My HPS parse never got above 9k. Thats 11k HPS difference from the dummy parse. Now i could understand these numbers if i was moving to avoid fire or taking stuns etc therefore interrupting the rotation - but i was stood still and unseen so very much like healing the warzone dummy. So how on earth can that be right? Tried it twice to confirm findings and most i got was 9.9kish. Do the devs ever read these forums? - as it would be nice to see an official viewpoint on this.
  14. So i hit the Starparse route this morning. With 10 stack of supercharge and not using Supercharge Cell, starparse is showing 400k and 20k HPS respectively over a 30 rotation. Thats based on a single target. Now add in the likes of dropping Supercharge Cell (which i didnt do as i wanted a base rate to work off), these numbers should spike and are relatively maintainable with cell management. I didnt think those numbers are bad so its confused me even more. Tried a few stat changes already and currently sitting at: Mastery 12.5k End 17k Power 10k Crit 3531 Alc 2336 Only other option i could imagine is to drop Alc even more so to put into Mastery through aug's maybe. The endurance part isnt a focused number, its just whats coming out using the Mods suggest and at hand. All my mods are the low Endurance higher secondary and tertiary stats. Im not majorly bothered by my numbers from a team perspective as i always seem to end up top healer for my team which is all i can focus on doing, but when i see merc's doing such incredibly higher numbers regularly, i cant help but think something is amiss and this is what is bugging me. Is it me or is it the class. At the current trend of things i firmly believe its the class as I am still yet to see a mando do the numbers that mercs are pushing out. As always - appreciate your guys time and posts. All points are noted and taken on board. Much love to you all!
  15. Thanks both - i will certainly try the parse to check the heals. I hit a wall earlier and gave up on it so jumped to an Imp for a change of scenery! In relation to the AE focused abilities - i do use them and also use the channelled heal with ae at the end (forget the name) and kolto bomb is always on CD. I try and focus the group rather than single target which is what the merc said he does also. Will give the parse a look and post back the findings! Thanks once more!
