Newbie questions

Hi guys, played at launch and enjoyed it but i was still very much into swtor and the launch problems put me off slightly. Thought i'd leave it for a bit and when that free weekend popped up i couldnt resist. Safe to say I'm pretty hooked!

I'm playing a scholar and my brother is a white mage. Our intention is to be the best damn healing team on the server :P I'm wondering when 8 man dungeons will pop up so we can both play healer instead of me having to switch to archanist dps.

Also I see a lot of things about Turns? runs 3, 4 etc for boss fights. Is this a final fantasy way of saying phases?

Just to add, i think the community is great. not met any idiots ingame at all. Everyone has been nice. Well done.

Welcome!

When you see people talking about 'turns', they're referring to the Binding Coil of Bahamut, an endgame raid which is divided into five sections, known as 'turns'. BCB is done differently to dungeons in the rest of the game so don't worry too much about it at this stage. :)

The first 8-man instance is the final guildhest at level 40 (Solemn Trinity). Next is Cape Westwind at level 49. All the other 8-man content is level 50.

8-mans don't really start until close to the end of the story (L50). I recommend unlocking SMN (in addition to SCH) when you hit L30 so that you can continue to queue as DPS effectively.

Thanks guys.

As side note, if you play in a premade groups of 4 you could both play healers. Just have one of you go in cleric stance or both :)
