Healing reduced by 30% in pvp. WHY!?

No, but that's hardly surprising.

So wait wait... under your rules HE has to get a team to bring you down because he doesn't have much CC, but healers shouldn't have to rely on a team to guard and taunt them or their targets they are healing, you should just have the pre -30% god healing that we had in beta?

Seriously, you guys are just bad healers. It's clear few of you played in beta and few of you have hit 50 in live.

A lv50 healer with full pvp gear and good skill + 2 lv20ish dps take on one lv50 one lower lv Guardian, a lv20ish scoundrel, a lv13 Vanguard and a lv33 healer Sage.

3 vs 5

3 win.

Just a little example how powerful lv50 healer can be.

Rubbish, both your post and the one you quoted. You SHOULD have to rely on a tank, that's the whole damn point. So tanks should have to rely on healers when they are doing their job guarding and taunting but healers should just lol-jump around the map spamming HOTs? You SHOULD have to rely on a tank to do his job to keep yourself or another playing from being killed by 3 focused DPS.

If you're not level 50 yet then you're all talking blind, you have no idea what you're talking about. Anymore healing and no one would die.

Why do people assume the Bio Devs have not thought the 30% healing reduction through. I mean really yes there was a beta phase where healing in PvP was the same as healing in PvE, it didn't work plain and simple... the current implementation is fine as it is.

No a Healer should NOT be able to kite a DPS too infinity... if you can't kill someone before you go down as a healer rethink your playstyle... the issue is you not the system.

Altho i downt minde the 30% debuff i do seam to get less war zone comindation in healing compared to DPS.

Is the debuff for healing live? I can not find something about this in the patchnodes

Because in-combat healing should not be too high. You are not supposed to be able to outlive massive amounts of people on you as a healer without peels.

THe healing debuff is perfect imo and does not need to be changed at all.

lol frankly

i would love to parse the posters in this thread. and i bet most of the "its fine" people all play DPS and dont know how to interupt, too busy bashing their faces on the keyboard so they can "win"


Ive been playing healer mains for 10 years, and this is pathetic, frankly. Its lowest common denominator PvP for cretins. "oh noes, i actually have to be aware of the fight, assist people, and bring down healers? !?!"?! but i want to press tab then mash 1-2-3 and win waa waa"


I really hope this turns into the Rift Cabalist love patch. namely, all the Healers reroll DPS in protest.. then watch all the "pro" dps whinge and ***** about how "gay" everyone else is and the fact that they cant faceroll anyone any more without someone to heal them.


for the record. my heals atm are :

1.43 sec cast single target
2.39 sec cast single target
insta hot 30 sec RUT
9 sec channeled
1.91 cast GTAOE hot 15 sec RUT

wow thats a lot of heals, how many attacks do you DPSer have ? 10 ? 15?

ALL bar the HoT can be interrupted by anyone even vaguely aware of their surroundings. you will also notice the absence of INSTAs . so you can hop around like a WoWrogue , i HAVE to stand still. . .

Side Note: anyone notice this :

Damage is normalised, Healing isnt. it might be a bug, but my lvl 12 operative can shoot someone for 1200 damage, but heals for 40/tick.. Oo

Is the healing debuff live?
