Healing reduced by 30% in pvp. WHY!?

Because if player survive with 20% hp he still survives ? You don't need to negate 100% dmg ... you need to negate enough to make a difference. Healers who can heal for more than dps can dps have no place in fun PvP.

And I am not saying healers in TOR can't heal for more than 1 dps. All the whining right now comes from leveling brackets. I have seen cases where enemy healer was the one reason we lost warzones.

i can heal through about 3 dps if im healing somebody else... if 2 ppl are on me using interupts i can last quite a while healing kiting and using cc.

I feel like healing is in a good place right now and I really enjoy the energy regeneration system for the smuggler and the general feel of the class is great.

Just need those raid frames fixed...

I get healing to work, it's just the fact of for every 100 HP that's 30 health I didn't heal. Then 300, then 3000, etc etc. When I average 300k a game I'm missing out on 90k healing, let's see how DPS likes losing out on 30% of their DPS to where they don't kill a target while missing 30% of a heal gets a healer killed or a team member killed.

Then again, MOST of these healers QQing sadly don't CC or attack ever. I try to at least do 1/3rd of my healing as damage since I focus on CC and healing. But always have well over 25 kils.

What a great thread.

No, I am Zorro! Best healer in all the land!

Surely, out of all the servers and tens of thousands of people healing in SWTOR, you must have heard of me!

rofl. This thread has such great entertainment. "I hate it when devs discriminate against healers. They hate us!" Really? You think devs have a personal vendetta with healers? That had to have come from a Christmas-festivity-induced drunken moron.

Except it is not true.

Happened today: level 26 marauder and level 30-something juggernaut gank a sage. She goes down to like 1/4 of her HP, force pushes us away, ccs the juggy, puts up a bubble, heal heal heal lol lol lol force runs away.

Thats more of a L2P issue for the 2 dps.

there would be absolutly no point to playing a healer in pvp if he couldnt outheal a single dps attacker period... problem is, as it is atm, thats is close to being the case...
a single dps will comptletly lock out a healer from doing anything but heal, including moving exept for the inq/sage case, if he wants to outheal its dps, and even so, its only a matter of time, and only if the dps doesnt use his CC.
I can only heal other if Im not CC'ed or attacked myself, and even so to be more than 2 on my healing target, the target must be a decent equiped tank.

just because YOU dont think its fun, doesnt mean theres no place for them.
because having played healers for over 7-8 years of MMO gaming experience, ToR pvp healing is by far the least fun experience I ever had, to the point where I dont want to heal anymore and do better specing dps, and healing ocasionally when CC are in or we outnumber our attackers to keep someone alive.

simple logic simple math, if a healer cant outheal a single dps, then there is no reason at all to not play a tank/dps or pure dps at all... numbers vs numbers... its that simple.

and while I do come from a "leveling bracket" I have yet to see a 50 healer without the exact same problems as I have at 40.

to say the least... it takes at least 4-6 casts to heal up 1/4 to full hp... during that time no interrupts or CC was used? they didnt break CC? they didnt catch up after getting knockback? they didnt put slow/healing debuff up?

sounds BS to me... or the attackers pushed their charge button and then went afk.

Like what? Call of Duty on xbox?

Yes and no. If taking down a healer takes 2 coordinated dps, then it becomes a lot like the BH who defended his damage in warzones by saying "You can do the same, just get a pockethealer" when he did the damage without one.
