Like the video, good job.

One thing you don't really touch on is why her healing ability is so great. In end game nearly all teams are running Darth Sidious or some other character that inflicts the heal immunity debuff. For those of you who may not be familiar with heal immunity, it basically means that who ever darth sidious attacks, cannot be healed. The one exception to that rule is Barriss Offee's heal. The reason is because the heal works in two ways. First it equalizes the percentage of health your team has. So if you have two characters and one of them has 100% life and the other toon has 50% life, they are both leveled to 75% health. The second part of the heal actually gives between 15-25% health on top of that. The first part can bypass heal immunity because its not technically considered healing by the mechanics in the game. The second part is considered healing and thus does not bypass the heal immunity debuff.

Ok, so why is bypassing heal immunity so important? Because the vast majority of teams out there rely on focusing down a single target. The only way to effectively focus down a single target in late game is to make sure they cannot be healed. Darth Sidious is currently the character that serves this purpose and Barriss serves as the counter to Darth Sidious.

Very very well said. I currently am not end game myself so to be fair my knowledge on those things are weak. The video was meant to be just a quick overview of her. Have you used her often? Is she really the only go to healer at end game levels?
