Healers = Alpha Class

I agree. The missile ones aren't too bad. It's the melee ones that are

i have an assassin 27/0/14. i have to admit it is hard for me to kill healers, i dont die to them either but killing one is a chore. in a WZ i pick out the healer and herass the hell out of them. i interrupt, stun, pull, dps and do everything in my power to stop them from healing.

it works every time.

i dont need to kill a healer in a WZ because i know that when my healer keep my dps up through a blitz we have the advantage. after about 30 seconds 3 people are free to help me kill the healer.

basically this game should not be 1,2,3, i just ownd that healer. that would make this game stupid, its about using your skills to PREVENT healing and make the healer stress out about weather to toss heals on teammates or keep themselves up through the pressure.

any class that can blitz a healer should not exsist in a pvp oriented game. if you do kill a healer it should be a long drawn out game where the healer has to mitigate your damage and conserve resources to stay in the fight. that is the skill of a healer... not dying.

Actually it's harder killing a *good* healer as tracer spec than as a melee spec. It's pretty easy LoS'ing a ranged. It's impossible to get away from a good melee.

It's kinda funny when a merc tries to stay on me while I'm pillaring him. Usually they call me "hide n seek champion" or some other form of QQ. Unfortunately the pillar doesn't keep melee off me.

1v2 1v3 1v4 thats a given situation of failure for everyone.

Healers being able to heal through and survive the DPS of being STUNNED IN A FIRE PIT is a bit obvious something is wrong.

I'm an 8/31/2 BH PT AP, I'm built for burning people down, I'm built for DPS, and I have no problem burning down any class that can't heal. I don't have enough stuns/interrupts/CC's to take down a geared healer.

And in counterpoint I generally ignore Force Lightning, I can't ignore Project or Telekinetic Throw at all. Force Lightning tickles, Project and Telekinetic throw are horrifyingly damaging in comparison.

And thats the thing, as this spec http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#301hMhZrsrrobckdsZb.1 I would be right up in your face, constantly.

So I throw down 6k damage, but I can guarantee your 30 seconds of Force Armor negates a good chunk of that. Depending on when I get to you and when you pop your bubble.

Whatever gets through you heal through, and seriously if you're a GOOD healer, even if I am interrupting Deliverance, you will seem to get by on Benevolence and Rejuvenate. And then its just Force Slow, knockback, hit the Force Speed button and you are completely not worth chasing after that.

Healers are supposed to be able to outheal a single DPS. What purpose does a healer have if he can't heal through one enemy? 2 skilled DPS can take out a healer, 3 mediocre DPS can take out a good healer, 4 bad DPS can take out a very good healer. 2 good dps and 1 very bad dps can take out a very good healer. Mix and match as you want.

1 healer vs 1 DPS should be even with each other in terms of heals vs damage. That is called balance. All things being equal its should be a 50/50 fight. I will wait to judge this until my Merc/Pyro gets better gear, but right now I don't have any real issues with healer specs.
