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.

Healing is fun and useful in PvP EXCEPT the huttball. Which is 90% of PvP content for imperials...
Healing in huttball is extremely frustrating and next to useless anyway.

Finally someone else who understands. If you Q solo it's always going to suck. If you Q with friends or guildies who are at least decent you have a chance. Why is this concept so hard to people? It's always been this way in every game.

PS- I had an Earth Shaman.
What? Druids in WoW absolutely had to use CC because their heals weren't strong enough. You're wrong and what's an EARTH SHAMAN?

Combat is too clunky to avoid interrupts....
Raid Frames are iffy, but they're adding more customization to that. ( Supposedly. )

Beyond that. I have no real complaints. PvP Healing is a blast :-D
I healed, therefore i was...
...No, not a bucket of turkey. A healer.

Wow, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks, "Jooji"

Instead of crying, maybe try to learn how to play. I play a 31 sage and am always top healer and win a large % of my games. Maybe the operative sucks, but I hear the same QQ from sages who are level 50 and do half of my healing output. I use raid frames, which are actually pretty good, but I spam a target next ally key to target teammates in most cases. (I don't like clicking on raid frames, although i do like how they show targets in range)

Bottom line is, stop crying, its a new game. If you don't like healing, go dps. That simple. If healing gets buffed it will be as gay as wow pvp. Right now I quite enjoy it. Maybe you need more practice, also 2700 in wow isn't really a sick brag, the fact that you even state that is a cause for LOL

I'm not referring to beating pugs. I'm referring to being able to beat the other pre-made you'll probably Q up against if you aren't Q'ing with friends.

And effigy, operative healing is fine, he's just bad. My only gripe with operative healing is our lack of utility in huttball.
