The tables on this page were generated using optimizer scripts created by Bant aka Goblin_Lackey. The stats were calculated to give the maximum theoretical DPS/HPS/DTPS for each discipline, however you may wish to alter the builds depending on your play style or what content you are facing in SWTOR. Each table assumes you have a full set of the specified gear.

Rotation

Innervate > Innervate* > Consuming Darkness > Filler > Resurgence > Roaming Mend
Innervate > Innervate* > Consuming Darkness > Filler > Resurgence > Static Barrier

Filler: Consuming Darkness (25%) / Revivification (33%) / Static Barrier (0%) / Dark Infusion (17%) / Dark Heal (25%)

Minor Rotation:
Major Rotation:

Comments: Healers are Tough to determine when there is not a set rotation and they just respond to situations. That is why Orderken’s models are nice because they work in the opposite direct from the way I am calculating. He starts with the assumption that he knows the % of healing each ability will do and he works backwards to find the activation rate that matches those percentages. Healers should be warned that the gearing assumes a static rotation that may not be representative of an actual fight.
