I've never really identified to one specific role on my characters, though, (apart from back in 2012, when I was totally new and only healed on my sage because I wanted to get familiar with the game first): I always try to be equally proficient at all three specs on my main characters.<br /><br />I've found the best way to survive the sometimes brutal incoming damage on veteran mode is the offence: use big cooldowns and eliminate the largest threats asap. I have been switching my utilities and the two different sage DPS specs all the time to adapt to specific fights. Fun to have to think about your approach instead of running in.<br /><br />But yeah, don't go into veteran mode as a healer. I don't even know if it's possible - perhaps if you have a high tier of the new gear. Chapter 2 (the hardest so far) I definitely couldn't do healing in 224 gear.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-32823887955659517572016-12-01T22:05:07.529+00:002016-12-01T22:05:07.529+00:00I've done the first Nine Chapters, and I'v...I've done the first Nine Chapters, and I've been reluctant to finish the rest. I'm kind of torn between wanting to find out what happens and being scared about staying up all night playing because I can't put it down.<br /><br />My youth, it has left me. ;-)Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-52785559298951068982016-12-01T19:51:02.727+00:002016-12-01T19:51:02.727+00:00Isn't veteran super annoying as a healer?

I don't remember you commenting on any of the post-launch chapters, just that you kept putting them off. :PShintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-74811731565278039562016-12-01T19:05:37.035+00:002016-12-01T19:05:37.035+00:00Oh, you've done so much already!

But I enjoy it so much more than moving through piles of storymode skytroopers! And I've been feeling the same as you did, sometimes just going to my stronghold in between to check things. Less absorbed by it than with KOTFE but definitely loving it.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-48983712078405470222016-12-01T13:22:23.607+00:002016-12-01T13:22:23.607+00:00I spent yesterday updating the mini-Reds' mach...I spent yesterday updating the mini-Reds' machines while I worked. They'd been on LOTRO a lot more lately (except the eldest), so it took quite a bit longer than I expected. Good thing I didn't need a large amount of bandwidth for work.<br /><br />I thought about logging in last night, but I guess I should be glad I didn't due to the crowds.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
