Had a level 35 bounty hunter healer in my pvp group. I died once, only cause i ran down a hall away from him. He and a sorc kept everyone up and we were able to defend the first doors the whole time. Healers shouldn't beable to out heal dps. One of the many things that pissed me off in wow.

I'd put money virtually every single death you've had to "stunlock" has involved multiple characters.

So if a healer can't heal people, then what should they do?

Impossible. It was my first post after forum cleanup. You must have mistaken me with someone else.

There is a lot of ground to cover between not being able to heal and outhealing any dps out there. Besides there is crowd control, buffs etc.

Use all those other offensive abilities and stuns that they have?

If you don't want to use those abilities, either stop doing PVP or maybe you should play a different game.

I rarely ever say "go play a different game" but honestly, playing a Holy/Disc Priest in WoW and a sage in this, I much prefer being able to heal and fight as opposed to just heal while morons chase my rogues around.

Every single random DPS baddie can easily knock off 30-50% of my health in a global so it's impossible to keep up and then you just get interrupted/cc'ed to hell. Juking the interrupt? Good luck figuring that out!

It's not a positioning issue. It's not a l2p issue either.

It's just not fun being completely helpless without serious peels and even then healing is totally underwhelming.
Sorry you don't have your Healbot, Gladiatus, SCT, Bartender, and HealBot to play the game for you. If you were half the healer I am in warzones, you'd be doing just fine. Smuggler/IA heals are the best in the game and the most complicated healer in the game. I'm sorry your so used to facerolling in WoW and throwing lifebloom/regrowth spam and never dying 3v1, but suck it up and l2P.

How about you stop being a (edited) and realize yes healers have dps but its about half of the dps damage. thats why its a healing tree.

Its not really the lack of healing we get, its our durability thats the big problem, and the UI/ targeting.

If they want our heals weak, thats fine, but we have to be alot more durable to make up for that.

No immortal healers ? Is that a problem ? -> Go play healer in League of Legends ... you will be squishy, you will heal for 10% of player damage and still you will be valuable part of team !!! Right now you have very narrow minded idea what a healer in PvP can do. Nobody should be a healbot in PvP. It's not fun style of healing imho and it's really not fun to play against.

I don't know what you're talking about, healing as a trooper is alot of fun.
And I've played a holy paladin for 4 years.

In Rift cleric healing was nerfed after many many qq posts by dps.

So Trion listened and guess what?

Now they post why did all the clerics go dps?

This is why I no longer heal anyone other than myself or friends.

Too many people think healers should only be able to heal when keeping them up but anything else they should be an automatic kill.

I would agree if the dps on the healer is up to par with the dps classes.
