Sorcs and Sages need 2 Stances so they cannot Heal and DPS at the same time.

that's such a terrible generalization. besides, power>crit/surge.

I agree the bubble shouldn't count towards anything really.

You don't need to test when there is this magical thing called math.

lolwut? 3 second cast is a spam? 2.5 second cast for 1.5k-2k is spam? Are you not interrupting or doing damage? Or are you just letting them freecast? Are you alone or do you have teammates?

really? so i guess operatives and merc dpsers heal for 0 in combat?

So a sorc casting bubble on you and your team doesn't help you? If you don't take dmg before it's gone they don't get credit, if you do then it works effectively just like a heal, so why shouldn't it count as one?

It amazes me how people who have no idea how a class works can come to the forums and whine like this. There's a reason the devs are ignoring you people.

Obviously you've tested this extensively.

you dont? you must be a pve player.

While LoSing. The statement was refering to that a Sorcerer can LoS and heal to full, even if it takes awhile. Any non-healing class has to wait until they're out of combat and a Mercenary or Operative would run out of their resource pool before gaining any significant amount of health, while also gimping themselves if they get attacked by another person.



Operatives and Mercs can heal, but they don't have nearly as big of a resource pool. If you heal yourself as a Mercenary you'll run out of ammo before you've gained 6k hp, and will be SOL if somebody attacks you. Pretty much the same with an Operative.

Lol. Figures you would support misinformation from highly exaggerated numbers based on false calculations.


If a bubble caps at around 3.6K, then a bubble doesn't absorb upward of 4.5K.

It is more like starting from 2.5K - 3.6K for sorcerers based on gear. 3.5 - 4.5 is not even close.

Fun fact - a 3.6k bubble absorbs 7k when guarded. And that wasn't even in the range.
