So, I played the game in beta and then from Launch up to levelling a L50 Seer and a few alts. Having just returned now currently as F2P while I see if Ill stick around. Ive bought the expansion and have started the Hutt line. I emptied my bag to my cargo hold (as I cant remember what anything is for, thats for another day), deleted all quests and just had the one from my ship for the new quest line.
I confirmed my spec as a Seer for healing, saw my trainer to make sure I was up to date and then started.
Now, previously in my guild I could level solo fine and was the healer for flashpoints we done. The guild doesnt really exist now though Ive set myself up as a healer again. First experience in the new quest line was the first mob I saw killing me. And again. And again. Ok, time to step back and ask some questions, so here I am.
It may be that I need to let the companion do more dps and me just concentrate on keeping him alive? I sent him in, threw some dots and then started to heal, but once he died I was toast. He is set up as a tank. I assume thats still the best companion for a healer?
Another thing might be that I should actually solo / level as Tele and not healer? Im wondering what the balance is of Flashpoints to solo content. I always like to level as healer spec to help me get used to the skills etc. Is this possible?
I've read a few guides on the Seer since returning and most talk about healing or adding some DPS in a flashpoint and not actually levelling and how to handle yourself.
I had thought of starting over (relearning a class in the process), just seems a shame when I have a L50 and new content to explore.
You can imagine how lost I feel after being away so long, so any input would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
