So a couple of things, though you might have received this feedback on the operative video: 1: So clever surrender is actually even better than it is on the dps specs, as it also gives upperhand from it's activation, which means more healing/easier probe upkeep. This also makes the "take damage more dodge" even MORE important. Also I am not sure if you mentioned it, but also "take damage more dodge" helps with having more self cleanses. So unless you are doing a fight with a reflect, that you are actually going to reflect (EC's first two fights come to mind), take those two. 2: Be careful to not undersell DR injection. This patch has a LOT less DR going around, and as such DR injection is just good. Burst will give the better numbers, as DR (sadly) doesn't get figured into an absorb number like sage's bubbles, but some fights it isn't really worth taking. For instance all but the first fight of EC DR can outplay burst, (if you are stuck kiting spires on tank). Your kolto waves aren't bad either, which in a fight were you need AoE but DR is comfier for a section, EC kephess, it is a good idea to rely on that/your other healer. 3: I think that currently kolto cloud's 20% on target is bugged, only on pub side. At least what limited testing I have done. I could be wrong on this but it is something to think about, but in regards to the guide 20% is a better choice imo, as it meshes well with operative's kit, while also bolstering it's lowest quality, single target burst (Though stim boost go brr for 1 minute bursts). 4: One thing about diagnostic probes is the heal gain from 3 stacks vs 2 stacks is little to none, as underworld medicine is just going from a 1 GCD cast to an instant cast with a GCD. Now, in a true AOE burst scenario you will just be injecting over and over with heat management, think council burn. However in a nefra a good idea to maintain heat while still outputting decent numbers when a group needs it is to do 2 refreshes with emergency medpack then your UM on self, EM -> EM-> UM -> EM should give same amount of healing as EM -> EM -> EM -> UM. This also applies to DR.
Me: mains sawbones for years. Biggs: releases video. Me: Ah yes time to learn my class. Note: slow-release medpacs are only refreshed when there are 2 of them on the target, won't work with 1. (smth I only learned after clearing all legacy nims lol)
I agree. Vulkk and pretty much every other guide: "Use the laze traget cooldown implant for marksmanship. Me: Runs out of energy after a few rotations. Mark Biggs: use energy managemnt implant instead 6500 tech frags wasted because i didn't listen to Mark right away
Sure wish this guy would turn his volume up. I have to turn my sound up to 60 just to hear him. Any other channel I can hear them just fine at volume 24.
still don't understand which stim to choose as a healer. I would like to go with versatile but some say mastery and power have some "cap" so I go with proficient one which has some critical though I don't know if it's better🤔

Hands down the best swtor channel! Vulkk and merlyn’s guides don’t even come close to comparing with you!!
Who is Merlyn?
I agree. Vulkk and pretty much every other guide: "Use the laze traget cooldown implant for marksmanship.
Me: Runs out of energy after a few rotations.
Mark Biggs: use energy managemnt implant instead
6500 tech frags wasted because i didn't listen to Mark right away
@@Weserator1379 To be fair you only really need Energy Regulators if you use the Energy Barrel ability tree choice for Penetrating Blast iirc
Vullk and Merlyn still do guides?
@@brenrosam Vulkk yes on his website but I still don't know who Merlyn is...?!
Thank you for your all guide! You are truly helpfull, and explain clearly and easy understandable all abilitys. THY again master Mark Biggs.
I am so glad i found your channel
You are the best.
Ha. Rex took that as a heal off challenge.
Sure wish this guy would turn his volume up. I have to turn my sound up to 60 just to hear him. Any other channel I can hear them just fine at volume 24.
Mark, is it still possible to use these guides in Feb 2023? When is the next update? All I see are 7 updates. Thanks!
still don't understand which stim to choose as a healer. I would like to go with versatile but some say mastery and power have some "cap" so I go with proficient one which has some critical though I don't know if it's better🤔
Thanks for the great guide, sir! XD
