Health Nerf

The Droid You’re Looking For
Finally the chance to be your own droid!
Well, not so much.
BioWare jumped into the April Fool spirit by creating some fun SWTOR videos highlighting the joys of droid on droid action — and did a pretty decent job, mostly. Though I’m not sure [...]

SWTOR healers are going to be in even higher demand; shame they were nerfed!
The Jesus Patch is growing; before it could rip the arms off a gundark, now it’s ripping the legs off medpacs in PvE. Only one use per fight now, but in PvP you can use [...]
I Am Your Father
