Favorite PVP Healer

[soulcrusher]

So every warzone im in we imps seem to suffer from a lack of healers so Im thinking of rolling a healer alt.

sorceror
I have a high level sorc on my old server so im not sure if i can face rolling another (no pun intended) can always spec dps for fairly easy ranged dps if required.

mercenary
seems the most balanced and best at healing on the move. combined with heavy armour sounds win win. can always spec dps for fairly easy ranged dps if required.

operative
getting buffed next patch and has stealth which is handy for the quest etc. possibly the weakest of the three healers though and if in dps mode requires melee range.

how do you guys see it? what in your opinion is the most capable pvp healer?

I think you meant mercenary, not powertech.

Adding to that, I play merc. I love it. it's not completely moble, as your main heal is decently long to cast, and other than rapid shots everything else has a CD, but it's not that bad. Rapid shots is fine while you're running, but by all means it's not really enough to heal someone while being attacked. Overall, until patch 1.2 comes out though, I'd say Sorc is probably the way to go, what with the lifegrip and all the huttball you see. Plus the bubble and speed boost are good tools to have. I certainly do see a lot of both sorc healers and merc healers on my server, seems almost every merc is a healer now, but back when I started I was the only one I ever ran into.

operatives I can't say much. There are a couple on my server, but I never really get the chance to compare myself the them, and they are getting the buff soon, so I'd say it really it depends on what you like. B

Merc's they have just silly sustained healing.

If I were you I would wait and see how the 1.2 changes pan out. All healers will end up being closer together in terms of raw healing done. Then it comes down to a choice in playstyle and flair.

i love my operative.

nothing makes more fun then making some stabystabstab with some republic guys and bursting them away with you explosion drone. And if you have an ally near you, you can bring him really fast back to full health.

the hots are also awesome. you and your party can move while you make some killingblows without to worry that someone gona die.

the only negative things about the operative are the weak def. cooldowns, that you need your tactical adv. for the most of time and that your cc and offensive stuff works only in melee range.

i must admit im leaning towards the operative, laregly because theyre a lot rarer too.

Merc/Commando are getting some serious healing nerfs in 1.2 so I would say go with Sorc. Great Aoe heals, a bubble and reasonable survivability. Ops just plain suck. We'll see how they fare after 1.2 but for now I wouldn't touch the class.

[Ghosty]

As someone who goes out of their way to lock down and/or kill healers, IMO Ops and Mercs are a pain in the ass to keep locked down and kill. Scorc's are far easier to pressure and kill.

Im empire, and what is a healer?

[Karshtakavaar]

Voted Operative, since levelling with a friend, he was my pocket healer on my assassin tank.

[Casseille]

Obvious answer: A good one.

My favorite healer is the Commando played by my friend.

Operatives, hands down. We have regular 3v3 events on my server and discovered, that he can withstand/evade the tunnelling the best in such situations. in a wz situation they bring a lot to the table, too, but the other 2 acs do as well in the current build. Come 1.2, OP will be the best healer in every situation it seems.

I chose operative... but I think in comparison to sorcerers, operatives are severely lacking in utility, and thus survivability
