So healer should just die everytime a dps just targets him, when i read this butthurt crying i just try to remeber another mythic /BW MMO Warhammer online, where healers had detaunt (-50% dmg for the enemy, that is attacking you) and things were fine, nobody wept like a litte baby. Too many healers wont win you WZ anyway

Again. Balance shouldn't be scaled to pugs playing terribly. If they are bad and fill the resolve too quickly then that is their fault, not the fault of balance. If you balance the game to the terrible pugs then the rateds will be all out of whack.

That is essentially the center piece to their entire "healers are OP" argument. They want healers to be "balanced" around the inability of tunnel visioned pugs to coordinate, focus fire, and use their brains.

The tank in this game got 600k protection. He kept me alive, but if he wasn't peeling for me I would've died constantly. There was a mara, jug, and an assassin on me the whole match. I took 400k damage but if also took the damage the tank peeled for me then I would've been taking 600k damage and would've died a lot more. I was top heals but it wasn't because I could constantly run away from the dps. It was because my tank peeled for me. Healers are where they need to be. 3 dps would've normally killed me, but I had help.

They got spoiled because you didn't have to use any form of CC or kick to kill a healer before. The good will adapt and do fine. The bad will QQ. Such is the life of MMOs.

Some of the best pvp in this game happens when there is no healers around at all. Thinking that it's completely normal that healer should stand against 2-3 dps is ruining the pvp in most mmorpg's.

On my Vanguard, my first priority is finding the healer, and interrupting (I talented Riot Strike specifically for this purpose.) Healer not healing = dead teammates. For laughs, I tell my teammates not to suppress the healer I am fighting, to make sure they are as helpless as possible, and killing higher-value targets (like, Sniper/'Slingers)

Umm, what is that you are interrupting exactly... Ever seen Operative healer casting something???

I have a Scoundrel who thrives on instant-casts. I've even recorded a video or two on him.

I usually target Merc Healers and Healy Sorcerers. Scoundrel/Operative I deal with by using Harpoon/Cryo Grenade to break their LoS; when they break out of that, from there, it's anything I can do to get their undivided attention (which, is admittedly little.)

If they're not using injection or infusion then they are doin it wrong.
If you cant counter an Op healer who only uses instant heals, then you're bad.

Get educated.
