Healers be happy - No nerf in pvp

Um... Sage regeneration isn't zoned like other classes. No matter how much force a Sage has, their regen rate is the same.

I know that via expertise healers get a relativ good buff, BUT thats not the problem, the problem bh and sorchealers have with the changes on PTR right now are:

For Bh/Trooper healers if a teamm8 is underpressure they wont be able to manage their heat for long aka they'll be overheating pretty fast

Sorcs wont have ANY burstheal at all the bubble absorbs about 3.5k dmg, dark infusion is a 2.5k cast, so not worth it in PvP and juking a 2.5sec cast is a joke ! So you'll have to use dark heal... a heal that CRITS for 2k heal on live... so with the expertise buff probably around 2.4k heal and noncrit yes it makes 1.4k than, thats absurd.... if yxou look at the damage that can be done in 1.5 seconds. innervat is our only good heal but has a 9 second cooldown.. if at least the 4 piece setbonus would reduce cooldown of innervat by 1.5sec as in pve or like other casters get, so i have to pve to get the 2 piece setbonus and take out the armaments for the setbonus and be viable in PvP

operativ healers will be the gods with my ophealertwink the 1.5 sec cast easily crits for 3.5k already while the 2sec cast does 4.1k to 4.5k (same as the 2.5sec of sorcerers !!! ) so with 1.2 the 1.5sec heal will crit for 4k? while the sorchealers crits for 2.4k? okay the operativ 1.5sec heal needs an ta but cmon DAKRHEAL should crit on 1.2 with the buff for at least 3k than sorcs would be fine...
but i havent seen any sorc stating that this is the case or giving out any numbers, perhaps dark heal got buffed? if so why did no one on the forums tell anyone? so i just guess it didnt and if it didnt get revamped somehow sorc healers are screwed pvpwhiseas good healeras! forcereg beeing crippled because in full warhero gear you gonna dmg you with 3k to get only 48force which is only nearly a dark heal that will than heal for 2.4k? no way...

Bubble - Gone instantluy from the opening hit, even with talents...and then you're debuffed for 12 seconds if you have the gear...15 seconds if not.

AoE heal - Interrupted. Anyone who notices you casting this that doesn't interrupt you, cc you, start to beat on you like a runaway sisterwife in hopes it kills the cast...is terrible, especially in front of a door or by the turrets.

Nuke heal - Interrupted, and now with more frequent interrupts.

Quick heal - Waste of force...terrible force cost to heal ratio.

Insta-cast HoT - Can't keep up with dmg, even when stacked with the channeled HoT.

Channeled HoT - Can't keep up with dmg, even stacked with the insta-cast HoT.

We need all these tools tosynergize in order to do a good job. BW is making it far harder for them to synergize with some of these changes. LOnger cast times mean that stacking heal effects will happen less frequently and the nerf to resource management is awful.

Slow heals and lowered resources will make for not very much healing. Lets just say healing is "buffed" with expertise. With slow cast times healers will be interrupted more making for much less healing. Juke you say? First, juking is good to have a enemy waste an interrupt ... but wait, that interrupt was also a stun, so you break stun and begin casting your now much needed heal as your healing target and yourself are both going down... BAM!... another interrupt. By this time resurgence has come back up and you toss it on the most needed player, you switch to dark heal or innervate because your infusion is still locked. You cast in vain as this heal is either keeping pace with your healing target or yourself (not both) while either you or he is still getting slaughtered. Quick recast bubble on both of you. Renew resurgence on proper target. Oh crap! Im low and target is low but so is targets target. Cast either innervate or infusion on myself before I die... Bam! intrupt. Target kills his target (maybe comes to my aid). Now my target kills me and kills my healing target because he still has close to full health while healing target is low.


TL;DR
Hard to heal when you are:

1) Juking (while good) = canceled heal = no healing output
2) Interrupted over and over from players with 2-3 interrupts one being only less than 10 seconds.
3) Having to heal yourself just to stay afloat so no healing output going to team.
4) This on top of having resources nerfed.

Healing "buffed"? Considering only expertise maybe.... considering 1.2 sorc and other changes..... Noe-pp. Incoming mar/sent rerolls and subsequent QQ storm about them on the forums.

You also get 23-24% more damage reduction.

Think bro, think.

You forget he is a healer, he presses his 1 button, or his 2 button, or his 3 button, and can't be killed while healing allies causing his team to win the game...he is too good to think.





If this expertise/15% healing buff is true then I'm so out of here and anyone who wants my account can have it lol. Because if that is the case there is no point to playing any class or spec other than healing, literally no point.

Except your instant hot gives your quick heal an effective crit chance of 100%.

Thus for a sorc:

1.2 Resurgence->DH will heal for more on average than 1.1.5 REsurgence->DI while taking the same amount of time to cast, and consuming less of your force resource.

You're chance for a 'critted burst' goes away, but your average healing goes up.

The only real loss thats sorc healers suffered was the fix to double-tapping DI, which was needed, and now consumption will take your health every time, which was needed.

But then again, Sorcs feel that maybe their QQing can make their class OP again, just like QQing got these changes.

Yeah seriously, how do half the people out there not realise healers benefit from Expertise SO much more?

i wasn't aware that non-healers couldn't receive heals from healers. interesting, maybe they can balance everything by letting healers target non-healers for their heal spells...
