BH Mercenary Healing explained

I have no idea what he is talking about since i have not even touched this class but here is a nice little video

Thanks, looks alright but will be interesting to see it first hand.

After trying a bit of BH healing abilities <17 lvl, all I can say is, fucking mako.
Why do both companions have healing?! I want to heal

Would love to know how viable it's going to be at 50 for PvP/PvE though so I don't waste my time levelling a useless class for healing

not sure if heal specced, but he's a lvl 50 atleast.

Not a healer but thanks for the vid

With the total overkill of sith inquisitors in the guild/game i'm considering going BH healer instead. So interested in anything people know about this class.

I wouldn't worry too much about there being too many inquis healers on the sith side, my experience of most mmo's is on release every one wants to be a healer! Then they realise you are a constant health bar stalker and re-roll.

Then late game there's a severe lack of healers Vicious circle.

I'm going BH bodyguard. It's quite a lot more offensive healing the SI. The BH will be in the thick of it, standing still casting and dpsing as well. There are less heals I believe but the extra damage option makes up for it.

Also you don't get a companion to complement healing unitil ~lvl 24-30ish (can't remember exactly)

Think wow pally vs priest with SI

Overall from my experience the healing from companions are pretty shite. Rather have a dps one to kill stuff faster and having to heal less, than trying to slowly heal mobs till they die. More DEEPS is always a good solution to everything.

the BH companion has no deeps. she doesn't have much heals either. infact, she's pretty useless.

Every class has 6 different companions at the end, you get more and more as you progress. Each with different "specs" so to speak, you can easily see what class they are so to speak.

Technically you only have 5 companions as the droid you get once you obtain a ship has no use outside of crew skills, I wouldn't really count it as a companion

mako is useless indeed

Still feel the guy could be doing more dps (he often just runs around waiting to heal) and he is often fighting lower levels but still gives a pretty good image of bodyguard.

Edit: Pretty sure he's solo healing the whole group also. But no one is targetting him, which makes life easy ;p

Double Edit: I've just noticed, is there no way of seeing "Target's target"?! That's kinda meh.

Don't be badmouthing Kephir here.
