Healers = Alpha Class

You people are cute, play a Marauder/Sentinel. They kind of shut us down.
The only time I am actually not being killed is when the enemy has a stroke and forgets to focus me.
Anytime I am under pressure I have to cut heals to keep myself up, meanwhile other members of my party are likely dieing.

theres a guy ive played with a few times on my server, one time ive seen him tank 4-5 people while healing the ball carrier, it was pretty wicked. he was the inspiration for my alt lol

Funny that they do then... probably because they have shields, stuns, knockbacks, Mez'es, roots, better defensive CDs, better resource management, etc etc.

If you're just standing there spamming heals, ur bad.

lol how do you figure? A boss in Operations does 4x the damage one DPS can do. A healer is supposed to be able to heal through that boss, but not that one DPS? Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

BM does not mean skill it only means time or farming/trading in Ilum (not saying that you did).

Commando/Merc healers are actually the most durable healer in the short term based on their CDs. I just don't see a lot of Commandos/Merc healers, and very few goods ones. But when you find that good one you should just leave them alone and try to kill something else (while CCing the healer of course).

Your situation is just looking at the IA ballcarrier. Did he have guard? Did he have another healer? If people stack CCs and fill up the resolve then that is on your team being bad. If your whole team was beating on him, it is likely their whole team was there as well, providing guard, taunts, and heals. You know, teamwork.

healing specced sorcs has no instant mez, no bubble mez, no lightning root, and WHAT defensive CD?

Keep trying.

What the heck are you talking about? Sorc healers are he easiest to burst down, by far..:

It is really hard to take you serious if you complain that healers don't drop dead instantly to your oh so scary 3k crits.

Exactly. That healer didn't do everything on his own. A healer is only a good healer if they have good support from their team.

Interrupts should lock out for 8 seconds. Job done.

Thats my spec and I'm not grossly over-exaggerating, its possible that the Operative had a second healer on them at the time, from up on a catwalk or down in the pit, but I wasn't focused on that I was focusing on trying to stop them and all I saw was a ridiculous amount of orbiting healing droids and having to listen to the person laugh every 3 seconds as their tac advantage proc'd.

I don't have as many problems with merc healers granted The Harbinger isn't running a lot of merc healers in the 50 bracket currently, the most active PvPers that are merc spec'd are Arsenal or Pyrotech, so the few merc healers I do see, they don't seem that hard to take down so they might not be very good. Trooper healers aren't that hard to drop either, its not a cakewalk by any means but its not impossible.

Sage's are especially bad, Scoundrel's and Operatives are especially bad. Sorcerers can literally heal through three people DPSing them and I've seen it constantly.

Trooper healers are bad if they get in a chain heal situation but otherwise not that troublesome. Merc healers, as stated, least on the Harbinger so far, are few and far in between in the 50 bracket. And the ones I do deal with in Huttball are not that hard to put down....maybe they're just bad.
