    Eliminator Merc Healer?

    So I have my Merc in full Rakata Eliminator with a Black Hole helmet, a couple of BH peripherals and augments.
    I want to respec from DPS to Healer in order to insta-que the HM FPs and grind the BH Comms.
    Does anyone see any issue doing this with my current Eliminator gear rather than Combat Medic which i don't have.
    If so, what stats should I augment?

    It has been a few months since I last healed with my merc, so I may not be 100% sure on some things. The biggest thing you'll miss out on going with Eliminator gear is Alacrity which will decrease activation time. I'm fairly sure a good percentage of merc healing abilities are instant, so Alacrity isn't all that important. So what you'll end up with is a Crit/Surge healer with no Alacrity. I personally prefer stacking Power for a healer to make heals consistent and decrease chance of over healing, but a Crit / Surge build is still viable.

    As for what augments to stack, I'd go with Power as the Alacrity ones won't make enough of a difference to be useful.

    Or you could just use AIM augments.

    Eliminator Merc Healer?

    I do exactly this with my Gunnery Commando all the time. Geared mix Rakata / Black Hole Eliminator sets. It works great for HM FP's and SM Ops. HM ops can be tough but that's likely due to a combination of my relative inexperience healing and the inherent deficiency of the class vs a sage.
