A Healer's 1.2 Grievances: The story of why healers are upset

Listening to the opinions of dps players is like attending a day long festival of Vogon poetry. Great healers pre 1.2 created a play style to create survivability against other great players. And it worked. But oh my.....the dps players whined, complained, cried, etc. to get them nerfed so they could kill them even faster now.

DPS players don't really care if they die. They are used to it but they do not want to see another team with a great healer that they must work hard to kill because that displaces their numbers too much and requires too much effort to deal with. They want to run in and slaughter everything, quickly. Healers want to live because we want to keep our team alive so they can achieve their goals. DPS players just don't give a piss about healers for the most part because if they care about them at all that means they would actually have to use tactics and strategy to deal with those on the opposite team.

Saying that a healer is bad now because their entire style has been unnecessarily altered and they are upset about this because of your infantile qqing to get nerfs is quite pathetic. Other dps players want healers to simply be their bit ches. "You roll wit me and you be good, otherwise solo you should have zero survivability." This is the dps player god syndrome where they think healers should only have viability in a well organized team work environment but outside this they should be able to kill them in 2 -3 shots and move on to the next victim.

Fact is, dps whores have no place to criticize the healers who are upset about having their play style altered. There were bugs that needed to be fixed but the truth is healing was nerfed because of dps whores crying and contacting customer service because they actually had to formulate a plan to deal with the healers and we just can't have that kind of intelligent thinking in a dpser now can we?

the only dps that got a real buff was warr/knights. DPS commando got the ultimate nerf *** ****. (especially gunnery, glad i am AS)

You forget the 6 sec 99% damage redux cooldown for marauders, and the fact that he could have stealthed out as well to get away. Healers have almost NO escape abilities.
LMFAO you try kiting a *********** marauder.....yeah...doesn't happen.

Sadly you are wrong. My perspective is from playing all three competitively and is pretty dead on accurate.

All dps got a huge buff. Look at the changes to expertise.

i'm sorry but medals are ridiculously easy to get now. you can get 3 even if you AFK for half the game. i didn't do ANYTHING one warzone except fight maybe 2 people and got like 10 medals.

does coming in really late or being put in teams of 3 vs 8 happen to you a lot? i guess that sucks, but honestly coming in really late is fine with me since that wz is about to end anyways. not really a waste of time.

Wrong. Ever heard of flash grenade?

You, like many, seem to be stuck on how big the numbers that are posted at the end of a warzone are. 5 or 500k, the Size of the numbers themselves don't matter. This is not about how big or small those numbers are, this is about how Interchangeable they are between the different roles of a dps and a healer.

In a balanced system- the *base* thresholds between healers and dps would be equal, with the deciding factors being luck of the RNG in the allotted time and the Human element of skill or lack there of. Meaning that if you exchanged one class for another in terms of overall thresholds (healer for dps, or dps for healer) then the end would be equal. The amount of healing done would equal out for the loss of dps and the amount of dps would equal the loss of healing.

If they cannot be exchanged in equal measure then there is a failure in the core aspect of the balance- ie. if the healer who just healed your warzone for 500k was exchanged for an equally geared/skilled dps, would the dps gain equal or exceed the healing loss in the overall outcome of the event.

That issue is what is being brought into question here.

go read, heres a map:

1.2 patch notes -> Trooper -> Gunnery & combat medic.

that expertise does not make up for the total dps loss and the nerf to our crit

bad healers will hate
