sorry i find this solution insufficient to any form of pvp whether it be regs or ranked. One its the sole purpose of a tank to take damage for targets to increase survivability if you'd like to ruin an entire role by taking away their guard in pvp to just not even fix a problem be my guest. You're saying everything would be solved? Well you literally said that without guard you easily 4 shot healers (though i think thats an exaggeration im gonna use your words) do you think making healer vulnerable and dead within seconds solves any sorts of problem for 8v8s or 4v4s? no, it doesnt it just creates the opposite problem your solution is too extreme. sorc heals need a small nerf yto their hps nothing huge honestly because they arent as overpowered as salty unskilled players make them out to be. operative is fine as long as sorc gets a rework to be brought down to their level of hps they both have deserved defensive cool downs though barrier shouldn't be allowed use in acid because well thats suppose to be a time where dps just kill each other off and healing/saving abilities shouldn't be able to work and barrier allows you to resist all outside damage besides the acid itself making you a must have for 4's ranked teams. thats my personal opinion but id be satisfied with just a slight hps rework literally like 200-300 hps lower. After that both the classes do have their deserved defensives and can last pretty long under pressure. Then merc needs a lot of reworking (not to be confused with idiotic buffing to everything) yes to all you pver's (considering i have pve'd before) i know merc both dps and heals is fine in that enviorment so buffing mercs is a scary thing and no to all you reg players who do it casually which is respectful but means you really shouldn't have an opinion on competitive content because you dont no how bad merc is in pvp 4's against an intelligent group of people who can shut them down (yes even with that darn overpowered guard ). Sorry if that comes off as offensive i just find it ignorant if you ahvent experienced teh higher ends of pvp to act like you know what the issues is. now i dontwant to go off on a rant about mercs thats on a forum about guards being overpowered not sorc heals. So i'll leave it at this merc needs a change to koltobomb and their defensive rocket out so they have a getaway any changes in hps that improve should differ from pvp to pve like they did for smash because in one environment the class is fine in the other its just god awful (literally been the worst healing class in pvp since 1.2 and that isn't even an exaggeration though im not looking for some retribution to make us #1 overpowered healer im looking to be viable for 4's) so yada yada i disagree guard isnt the issue its slight reworkings to the healer and maybe some working to tanks damage considering how tanks in dps gear is very popular recently or a reworking on dps (which i think a few classes need a buff if sorcs dont get brought down a notch cuz far too many matches make it to acid where barrier wins the game). thats my preach on how i think you're wrong but i also realize i just wasted 10 minutes because neither my suggestions nor your suggestions will actually be read by a bioware dev that will do anything with this information.
