RotHC // 2.0 : Healing - It's ridiculous.

And yeah, in regs healers may be hard to kill because people are stupid and don't focus or cc correctly.. But trust me, healing is fine

That's not what I said.

I just mentioned it's pretty easy to stay far far away from battle AND in danger hide or run out of LoS.

Cilas spittin' some truth in this thread!


Pvp decisions should not be based on what pugs can or cannot do in regs, or heaven forbid in lowbie brackets like I saw one poster admit to only having played. Feedback and balance considerations should be based on pvp b/t coordinated, geared teams. Bottom line is w/o team coordination (i.e. pugs), you're usually going to struggle with healers. That doesn't even mean you're a bad, it just means it takes teamwork to bring healers down, as it should. As a healer myself, I can tell you that if I just have to worry about 1 or 2 imps, come at me bro! But getting focused is a whole other ballgame. And if it were to change so that I can't handle 1 or 2 imps, there's really no point in me even being there.

Oh and Cilas is also pretty much right on the scoundrel/op energy thing. After 2.0, I've noticed it's easier to manage my energy, although scampering in the middle of a fight can eat into that quicker than some people think.

I kinda have to agree and disagree with the energy thing.

Sure, spam kolto probe and surgical probe ALL game and you will never run out of energy, BUT this is not all that is available to you, nor should you use your scoundrel/operative in this manner, those small HOTS do not keep you or your team up through intense dps focus. I still find myself lacking energy (now and then) on the long drawn out ranked matches. This usually happens when i need to use my big heal as i have high crit, getting 3 x 7-8k heals(followed by a 3-4k SP) off in a row is the only thing that saves your target from dying. I tend to drop my explosive probe on targets with low health also, i get my 6k dmg medal this way

Much easier for op heals to regen that energy though. You have an instant energy reset on top of diagnostic scan. Sure, sorcs have consumption... But each use eats a GCD and believe me, you're using it a lot.

Can't really comment on sorcs energy management, it was always better than Op's as far as i have been told. Again, i cannot comment on how much that has changed since 2.0

I have a 55 of both and from my experience, op energy management is much better - I don't find myself out of the ideal energy regen zone on my scoundrel, but am rarely above 25% force on my sage - it's a constant battle with force in my experience. It's tough to use Noble Sacrifice because you either can't spare the GCDs or you're getting focused so you don't really want to drain your own HP.
