My account is going to way of the dodo in less than one month. 1.2 ruined a mediocre wow clone, and when D3 comes out I predict a large exodus from this game. I know myself along with a lot of others I play with are quitting when D3 comes out.

Deliverance is still much more efficient to use. You could take the improved deliverance and only lose 2% crit in your build. Even with conveyance bene is only about as efficient as a nonconveyance deliv. However, w/o conveyance bene becomes so bad its nearly worth dragging off the bar again.... The HPS of Deliverance with or without conveyance is close to that of Benevolence with conveyance. The number changes depending on gear of course, but if anything that should favor deliverance. On the other hand, the efficiency difference is enormously in favor of deliverance. So long story short, OP, you are an *** and a dumb one to boot.

I can EASILY push 100k healing as dps only using force armor on myself and my teammates and I am only level 46 on my sage. As complete healing spec I was pulling about 200k in 1.2, whilst I pulled 400k before. 100k healing + 250k dmg as dps or 200k healing as pure healing spec. It seems pretty obvious which to pick. Even at 400k+ healing pre 1.2 didn't even ensure a win. I lost just as much as I won, despite the fact I dominated healing. A lot of the times the other team didn't even have a healer. Though, I was damn near unkillable, I will say that, but that is because I knew when to run away, use CC, and kite. A healer should be able to keep himself alive, especially on 1v1, otherwise *** is the point? Even then if the opposing team put 1 good sentinel or some other dps on me, it all but eliminated my ability to heal anyone but myself. From my observation in pvp below level 50, the sage healing was fine. Now though, its completely unplayable. I can throw preemptive shields and pull half the healing using Force armor with a dps spec FFS!!!

You play in a set team against noobs and think your hot ****..... ROFL!!! Nothing to see here folks.

Cant be bothered to fix major issues like this and force wave...Nope, too busy nerfing sages to the ground to make the overwhelming large sage/sorc playerbase to reroll. Also, we don't want to make the new PvE content too easy either. Gotta keep those $15 a month rolling in after all....

I only used theran a little, but I too remember him tossing holiday out and doing other things. Though if the other healing companions work the same way I can only assume it is fair.

I used to be a healer, but moved to dps after 1.2. Once D3 comes out I am done with this pile of ****.

Actually a long time ago WoW was balanced around 1v1. At that time there were no arenas, just "warzone" type PvPs. As the game continued on some dps classes like mage and rogue became more unbalanced. Eventually it got to the point that they said they are not going to balance around 1v1 anymore. Then it became 3v3, and now 5v5. However, what that actually means is that it became too complicated to try to balance PvP and PvE as time progressed, so they gave up. When you balance around 1v1 in a Warzone type scenario, you actually get fairly good balance as many times the battles, even the larger ones, become 1v1 fights. Stipulating that you are balancing around larger and larger groups simply means the game is becoming more and more unbalanced and you don't have any real solutions. Hell even if you look at the representation of the 5v5 its nowhere near even in WoW.

It is an absolutely valid technique that is used, but not to lower a population, but to get people to reroll and try out the other characters. The fact it has a high population just means its ripe for them to send people to other toons. Whatever it takes to get people to keep sending in that 14.95 a month. Blizzard in WoW is notorious for doing this. They intentionally overnerf and overbuff tons of classes in the game to get people to switch and start over.

I wear panties.

I read the last 5 pages and I can't see any examples. The only thing I saw was some dude claiming that consulars existed, but they were all non-combatants. Which is a pretty shockingly stupid statement.

no qyzen is the tank, and you better get used to him because you will be stuck with him for a long while. The AH is your friend when finding techblades.

What do you suggest instead of pebbles and rocks? Doesn't make much sense for them to use lightning, though its way cooler.

I dont think you understand. The reduced cast time was causing the bug. So they just removed it, and replaced it with something else.

The change to deliverance was how BW decided to fix the bug. They couldn't be bother to actually ya know fix it, so they replaced it. After all hiring a competent programmer might ever so slightly cut their million dollar bonuses this quarter.
