Personally I think PvP healing as a BH is decent. My biggest issue isn't the healing, its that Resolve needs to be kicking in much quicker.

Is healing really reduced in PvP? I heard some people say 30% heal reduction in warzones...

If this is so, I suggest changing that to no reduction, healers are too ez to kill in this game imo.

LOL! Everyone knows PvP healing sucks and most of you guys know it to be true. You just like picking on every single person on forums that happens to bring up an issue that needs fixing. Go QQ somewhere else.

Don't make such silly statements, you do not speak for everyone.

I didn't like it at first but when you level and get more tools, it gets better. You also really need to play with friends and organize. Pugs are frustrating. I have ran circles around pug teams with dps chasing me trying to kill me and no one peels. Play with guildies. That is fixed.

Now if they would fix the raid frame and ability responsiveness (seeing the cast timer go off but the heal not go off until after the spell animation is done...).

healing is actually overpowered when combined properly with guard. If you want buffs to healing you are going to need guard substantially nerfed .

I agree with the OP; any dps can murder a healer by face rolling on the keyboard.As a commando healer myself; I'm seeing the same thing as OP said.

I second this. There's too much cc, resolve doesn't seem work worth a damn, the UI sucks *** and healers aren't rewarded like how a dps is. I've done a 200k healing/50k damage dealt Huttball and was rewarded 4 medals while the mindless dps that ignored all objectives and fought in the middle got 8-9 medals. This game is stupid...

Not ture, my tank would get rolled 2v1 easy without heals, just like pretty much any other class out there. I have yet to see a (Key words) well played class that cant at least hold its own 1v1. I also have yet too see anyone win 2v1, especially when it's a healer/tank. Since we're still talking about healers I'll point out my Guild Leader again, he's a heal spec scoundrel and he has 1v1 other classes and won enough times. Not saying its all perfect, but it's not as bad as you want it to be.

A lot of people will need to L2p the class they play because the system isn't like most other MMOs out there. You can't just stand there and heal thinking that if your using trying to heal someone while you're getting attacked you'll be fine without doing something to save yourself or a team mate save you.

Rolled healer in a few pvp games now, all had their pros and cons.

This is with out doubt the worst pvp healing experience so far.

Before anyone says L2P noob: I'm always L2P thats what being a good healer is about.

A Healer casting heals should have the same flow and pace as a DPS doing pew pew. Simply from an enjoyment and playability standpoint. we want to be doing stuff too.

but....

the whole interface is clunky
cast times are way too slow in the lower levels
frames broken
some sort of wierd delay in the interface that i can't put my finger on maybe a global cooldown or something.
1 dimensional button mashing.
The click box for players is either too small or the nameplates need to be modified someway. something is amiss here.

even in pve these elements make the whole healing experience unbareable. like slow motion or something.

boring.

can't say i'll be renewing once my 30days is up at this stage. maybe i'll be back in after a few patch releases.


I know why there's a delay in the interface. Abilities trigger on key release and not key press. Next time in game target a mob and click an attack, but hold the button down. Nothing happens until you release the key...I think BW are noobs at MMO development...
