I am a healer. According to the forum whines I am the squishiest class with the least amount of survivability. I mean.. if I see a red coming at me, I might as well just give up and suicide, because there's no way to survive and it is clearly impossible for me to kill him! Right.. right!?

I guess my character is bugged or something, because I am doing more than fine.

Tiny tip for those who complain about how much a Sage gets interrupted in PvP:
You have more than one heals.

It's funny interrupting healers and watch them stand there, doing nothing, looking stupid for the full duration.

Not every dps class has true cast interrupts, fyi.

You, sir, are a moron.

Yeah... you should never be able to be killed by any amount of DPS... because that's balanced.

Also, tanks should never die and DPS should two shot everything. Because it's possible to balance the game that way... and Daniel Erickson is actually a space alien who is out to eat your babies.

Are you dumb? You interrupt a 2.5 second heal at the end of the cast and you just completely ****ed the person. They lost 2 seconds of time. They're completely dead if the player is competent. Stun the next cast near the end, even if they break it, you still cost them time. Use force lift to stop the last cast. They're always dead by this point unless they have help.

I kill the **** out of healers and i'm one of the lowest damage classes. The only healer I have trouble killing is mercenaries when they have their 2min cd damage reduction up.

Let me point this out since it seems no healer posters in this thread know how interrupts work in this game. You lock out 1 healing spell for 5 seconds, most healers have more than 1 healing spell. Even if I use my interrupt on every cooldown, plus my stun and my incapacitate, a braindead healer could manage to heal him or herself.

Yes I play DPS and that doesn't impact my argument in this thread what so ever. The fact is that without school lockdowns and with each healing class having multiple healing spells, every last one of them having more CC than a frost mage did in WoW and everything else, what are you crying about?

That you can't somehow keep yourself and the rest of your team up when you're being jumped by 3 people? Well, you shouldn't. After watching how level 50 healers perform, I'm actually in favor of upping it to 50% or adding school lockdowns on healing spells. Just earlier today, or rather last night I ended up in a huttball game where the opposing team had 5 healing capable classes out of which 4 were pure healers and they simply walked the huttball through the fire traps, through our entire team and scored 6 times.
FYI, it’s not “elitist” to expect people to be competent at a task to which they have dedicated hundreds of hours.

I play a healer (Medic Commando). Healing is actually really balanced right now.

I have 2 words for half the people in this thread:
QUIT WHINING.
I've been destroyed by a well organized opposing team, and I've won MVP with a good team. It's all about the competence of your fellow teammates, bottom line.

I've had 4-5 people hammering on me as the ball carrier in hutt ball drawing in all melee players while I heal myself and pass the ball and die, but watched as teamates reign down aoe damage on my attackers Felt just like the grenade charge scene in the cinematic.

Clearly the whines don't see past their abilities bar. That is not where strategy comes from.

If the healer is stupid enough to stand still in full LoS and let you lol around and interrupt his heals, it's a L2P issue, not a class one.
