2 BH What Spec to pick?

[pinotnoir]

I have 2 BH's at lvl 11. Should I do powertech or mercenary?

[Mercbeast]

It really depends. I did 2x Commandos. I ran a gunnery spec and a hybrid gunnery/medic spec. The gunnery/medic spec was really good for PvP, but gunnery is a little too one trick ponyish for me. Assault is supposed to be really good as well, I haven't run it myself.

Powertech on the other hand has radically different playstyles depending on how you talent yourself out. You can become melee heavy with charges, or you can become more shooty, or you can also run the Firebug tree which is shared.

I'd personally probably run the Powertechs because I think they would be super diverse, and a lot of fun.

I played my two BHs as PT and Merc. I liked it as long as it lasted ( follow was still broke and i started soloing Lyonheart and left my PT behind at lvl25ish ). But that was a PvE desision. For PvE i think you will like having heals for some hard mobs and for doing heroic quests. I'm not sure about PvP ( WZs ) I'm sure two of the same thing would be better/easier to control.

I'm currently playing a a pair of BH's currently, the lead is a PowerTech followed by a Merc. It works well and with two Mako's doing most of the healing I've been able to do all H2's so far and they are up to lvl 27 currently.

Since I use a separate key for assist I can switch to my merc if more healing is needed but the PT is still hammering the target even though the my Merc is targeting him off and on. Just keep on spamming the DPS key(s). Btw I use a modified version of Mercbeast's setup and it rocks.

I went double merc that way I could do flashpoints and be the dps.

Was thinking about boxing 4 BHs. Was gonna do one PT for tanking & 3 mercs. One merc heal spec and the other 2 speced for tracer missile spam.
