If you've had ANY experience pvp healing in this game, you would realize that healing only prolongs your death. With the strength of DPS, cc and gap closers available in this game, any attempt to outheal any kind of DPS is going to result in you dying. 1v1, full hp, equivalent gear, comparable skill, if a dps jumps on you, you will die before he/she does, that is all...which is why I switched to DPS and throw heals in emergencies. Why are you arguing about 1v1 viability anyway? If you're playing OBJECTIVE based pvp you'll rarely be alone. Maybe if you're defending an Alderaan node you might end up alone, but generally healers aren't doing that anyway.

Every single random DPS baddie can easily knock off 30-50% of my health in a global so it's impossible to keep up and then you just get interrupted/cc'ed to hell. Juking the interrupt? Good luck figuring that out! It's not a positioning issue. It's not a l2p issue either. It's just not fun being completely helpless without serious peels and even then healing is totally underwhelming. While there are enough issues: I think it's wrong to reward a thread written by somebody that hasn't even reached 50 yet and expects to do okish against pvp equipped max level chars. Seriously, what's up with that? Since you were bragging about your rating, let's make another analogy using wow: It's like expecting your level 70 restoration druid to to fine against a level 85 arena equipped rogue. Not gonna happen.

That is the exact point I am making.

I wasn't arguing the main point, I agree that healers need to be a bit more durable. I was merely pointing specifics of how support works. If you support your team, your team should protect you. Then I was listing some of the examples of how can it be done, since AbleOrator didn't know how tanks can protect healers. Also, if your opponent is using everything in his disposal (DPS, cc, and gap closers), why are you only using heals? You're still not likely to kill him alone, but you can give your team time to help you.

As a lvl 42 Sage Seeer, I really love the utility, control, and heals this class gives me. People expecting a similar experience to other games, need to learn to adapt to new mechanics and a new style of play. Really though, if you are having trouble in a premade group then I dont know what to tell you. If you are having these issues in a pug....well enough said. If you want god mode healer go play Rift. Edit: Also for those having trouble with the raide frames, I sugges Binding "next friendly target" to SHIFT + something easy to get to. Makes a world of difference. Least it has for me.

I've got a lvl 33 healer tank commando.It's almost hilarious w/ a bunch of strangers w/ my little green beam attempting to save them. Then a 50 juggernaut comes over and rick rolls me. LoL.

GG you're bad and don't know your class. Maybe level all the way to 50 and you MIGHT learn along the way.

A druid... there's your problem. SWTOR healing isn't quite the same. Healing as a BH Merc, not that hard and you get CC's (like everyone else) to deal with the damage over your heals, as a Sorc, if I'm struggling to save a friend I electricute the target and heal my friend, it wouldn't work if I just stood there spamming heal over and over like you can in WoW. PS- I had an Earth Shaman.
Now that GoergZoeller is gone, buff operative. SWTOR going F2P, now playing SWGemu.

No I'm not all that great at pvp. I do suck at pvp. Then team leaders get all PO'd at us casuals.
