Healing reduced by 30% in pvp. WHY!?

this has nothing to do with WoW... and there is nothing imbalanced for a healer to keep a ally up when its getting attacked by 2 oponents if hes not being hit/CC'ed AT ALL, its the bare minimal a healer should be able to pull off to warrant his spot in a OP, for reasons explained in the previous post.

in a 2v2 scenario for exemple, if one of them is a healer, then he HAS to merrit his spot and his specialization by being able to support his ally against the other team of 2 oponents period, if not, its always better to be a tank/dps instead.

Umm not really. There's a danger here when escalating healing. Healers are not better than DPS. This game doesn't have small scale arenas like WoW and thus doesn't need to be balanced around that. You balance around Warzones, if a healer is standing in the back being protected by tanks and dps with CC and interrupts(on a competent team), then he can very well do this and more. I've seen it happen.

^This is why heals take a hit.

I was playing in a Voidstar match tonight (Watchmen spec Sentinel), I used force leap on a Sorc who was facing away from me and proceed to burn him down to around 20% of his health, then I got CCed, he healed back to full, and then nuked me. If you ask me damage bubbles should be banned in PvP and healing should take even more of a nerf.

lol. wow. dont even know what to say to that. Maybe find a game that lets you be "God" and go play that.

are people not reading what I am saying or something?
this has nothing to do with WoW... and even less to do with arenas...

Im talking simple sheer numbers here
being a healer takes a slot just like any other role... if that slot is taken and that role not fullfilled, then its poitless to take it...

by being a healer I sacrifice dps and tanking power... if I trade it for healing power that is sub-par to the standarts of other roles, then its pointless...

I used the 2v2 exemple because its easy to understand, if you make the effort to reason about it, why if one of those 2 being a healer needs to be able to keep up the other against the other team of 2...

NUMBERS, they are not matched, thats what Im saying. the amplitude of my heals are not enough to makeup for the lack of dps from me being a dps, or the mitigation+dps of me being a tank

as it stands, I CANNOT keep a player up against 2 attackers, even if they leave me alone... me being there is merely a delay for their kills never a tactical advantage.
well almost never.

Counsalars/Sith Sorcs are the most annoying when it comes to healing. That shield saves them every time. I go to wail on them and boom no luck. It just drives me mad

I don't think jolt is working as when I interrupt them they go right back to casting it for 4 seconds. Or maybe its a different heal? I don't know I cant tell since the little square with the icon is the same color as the rest of them....really confusing...

30% was too harsh, first of all. When developers balance anything post launch by more than 5% to 10%, it shows a flaw in game design, ham handed balancing, a reactionary response to people moaning on the forums; or some combination of the three. It never, ever speaks well of an MMO developer to be ham handed when it comes to balance and nerfs.

The second point I'd make is that if a skill, or a type of skill, is deemed overpowered, before nerfing it, an eye has to be cast as to what the balance of effected classes are on the whole, how the nerf will effect them and what may be done to offset the nerf to keep the effected classes balanced and fun.

Healers were not over powered pre-nerf. One can argue that their healing was overpowered, but with healing taking a major nerf, most healing classes are now underpowered as a result. There should be something to offset the nerf. If my heals can't keep my team mates alive and I can't win 1 vs. 1 fights because my heals are too weak and my DPS too ineffectual, then what is the point of playing those classes in PvP? Keeping oneself alive for an extra 15 seconds or allowing one team mate to take three or four more hits before going down does not make playing a healer in PVP worthwhile.

I think that when the trauma debuff is in place, to balance the 30% loss in healing per cast, your force pool and force regeneration rates should be boosted, so that a healer can heal the same amount as they used to be able to before running out of force, while the debuff means that it takes 30% more casts (and thus 30% more time) to accomplish.

Even that may not be enough. Some combination of force regen boost and damage boost may be more warranted.

In the end, if healers become easy to kill, can't keep team mates alive and have trouble killing anyone, what is the point?

(No one likes nerfs, but extreme nerfs, when fine tuning should have been enough, signal problems that are worrisome).
