Healing in pvp is challenging and fun so far. Biggest issue is targeting problems, and bugged group list showing wrong HP.

if you can get away with being 2700 imba druid and struggle with this then it just speaks volumes on how bad arena/arena players have become since s1-s2 tbc.

mobility use it.

Two clear issues:

- The UI is terrible for healers. Raid frames don't update, so you end up having to click avatars to target people, and they're usually moving targets surrounded by others. Or, you can try to find their name in the raid listing.

- The rewards are poor. I get more medals DPS'ing on my heal-specced operative than healing. Killing and tanking (protecting) earn heaps of medals and commendations. Healing does not.

The magnitude of heals vs DPS may also be an issue, but that's hard to say pre-50. The UI and the commendations, however, will always be a problem.

UI is crap.

PvP is unplayable with abnormal lag.

Unless they fix them I won't pay a monthly fee to play.

I'm liking pvp healing as a Commando alot. Level 41 and it does not seem to be as bad as your making it out to be.

You have to keep in mind that resto druids make Bright Wizards right after the WAR launch look underpowered. We're talking about a class that gives you grade A results for grade Z playing abilities.
FYI, it’s not “elitist” to expect people to be competent at a task to which they have dedicated hundreds of hours.
Everything currently wrong with the Sith Warrior/JK design.

A single healer should be able to outheal a single dpser assuming no interrupts/stuns. That's pretty much common sense. Sorry you lack this.

Nah. This is garbage. It is literally impossible to solo pvp as a healer in this game. Should be possible for a healer to keep himself alive while slowing killing an enemy assuming the enemy doesn't wise up and interrupt or stun. That's common sense. However, I see button-smashing ******* getting away with complete horse ****. This game is a disgrace w/r/t pvp.

After healing on my Sith Inquisitor since level 10 I think these things would make PVP healing much, much better:

1) Raid frames not bugging out and showing people about to die at 100%.

2) Raid frames graying out if a target is out of range OR out of line of sight.

3) If smart camera could be disabled (always fun to healing on the move and be completely unable to see what's behind you).

4) Target of target unit frame.

5) More medals for healing.

There's a few more but they pale in comparison to these (for me).
