- Stay on top of things with Everything about SWTOR Patch 5.4 Crisis on Umbara
SWTOR Community manager Eric Musco just announced that Bioware is stepping back with the pre-planned nerfs to Medicine Operatives and Sawbones Scoundrels for Game Update 5.4. Here’s the full message with the reason why is this nerf not happening in the upcoming update:
As we continued to look at the changes we had planned, supporting data, and player feedback, we have decided that we are not going to be making any changes to Operative and Scoundrel healing in 5.4. Right now, these Disciplines are overperforming in HPS and we do feel that they will need to be nerfed at some point. However, even though their HPS is high, due to the Disciplines lack of burst healing it can be quite challenging to keep players, especially tanks, alive. For that reason we are going to hold off on any broader HPS nerfs until we address the burst healing issues of the Class.
We are going to take a look at this for 5.5 and see if that will be the time to make these adjustments. Once we get closer to that update I will let you know what our plans are for Medicine and Sawbones! Thanks everyone.
