Pretty ludicrous. Try actually playing a healer before you start ranting about how OP they are. I have, and I can tell you the scenarios wherein either (A) I have unlimited force, or (B) I can actually out-heal a focused DPS on me, are all but non-existent. At least on a heal spec sorcerer.

Except they aren't, as displayed by various healers I fight all the time. Healers are literally the hardest class for me to kill. Tanks have pathetic hp when compared to healers.

I don't think the game should be balanced around 1v1, but let's at least keep our facts straight.

You are so wrong on pretty much everything you have posted I can't even begin to match your Wall of text with my wall of text correcting your blather. I would assume you were trolling because of the childlike immaturity of your reasoning, but your wall-of-text says otherwise.

So to sum up: You don't like healing in PvP because you think everyone should just DPS because you can't see how anyone would find healing fun.

I wish every single player I faced in PVP was exactly like you.
I think the OP is a good example of someone who can produce a lot of words on a given topic without actually contributing anything of any real substance. The argument presented is so poorly reasoned that it's not even worth debating.

I've yet to see you or anyone provide a counter-argument. Mostly just bad ad-hominems and strawmans. I'm sure this is because your precious time is valuable and NOT because you are incapable.

Maybe you should go blog about track and field because this post made no sense at all. Focus the healer end of story.

Yes, my time is valuable. No, I don't want to spend it countering a bad argument. Good insight. :]

What do you expect from the MMO developer dream team that brought us Warrior Priests?

Oh, fine. I will spend 2 minutes on it.

The OP's base assumption is that no DPS can ever beat a healer. This is patently and emphatically false. The OP's proposed changes would make excellent healers a free kill against even the very worst DPSers. The argument presented is just ridiculous.

A good DPSer shouldn't have much trouble beating an equally geared healer. It just takes longer, which makes sense. If it didn't take a bit longer, the healer would never even be able to come close to winning. People need to learn how to time their bursts/interrupts/CCs to maximize their effectiveness. Knowing how to spec and gear for maximum PvP effectiveness is also useful.

Go play a healer and see the truth for yourself.
