I have far more instant cast damage abilities than a healer has instant cast healing spells. If he wants to try and LoS me, he will die. You can't run around and not cast in this game. YOU DIE.

And yet I seem to manage just fine. At lvl 34.
I see a lot of healers who doesn't, who seem to post as much threat as a piece of paper does to a fire.
L2P issue.

I'm not immortal. I die a lot. I die way more frequently than in any of the other MMOs I have played. If I get focused by 50's I will be dead, but I will usually keep myself and my team up long enough for more to get there and defend.
Over all, healing is weak and it is simply not doable to play a healer in SWTOR like most people are used to in other MMOS. Which is good imho.

I know I skipped an entire thread to post this, but reading this literally caused me to laugh out loud at work.

Awesome post, OP.

lol that does not show or display that healing is or is not were it should be at all.
there are so many thing that would need to be looked at.

i for one would not recommend changing much on any class at all until a larger number of people have gotten into more end game gear because a lot of balancing and character performance is based around this type of game play

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
I base it on long experience of MMO gaming, yes I do play a DPS, although I have several friends doing more then well in PvP as a healer. They dont think the debuff is OP or nerfing heals too much, because it doesnt.

You just have to learn to cope with it, and have teammates helping you out if you are getting trained.

Most healers I've fought so far are abo****ely attrocious aswell, so I do understand why this was brought up, eventhough its fine.

Why 30% nerf ... because properly guarded healer in wz is gamebreaking with 30% reduced healing. The operative word here is guarded ... and not just by tank, but by whole group.

I have leveled almost purely through warzones, but I guess you're right.
As a lvl 34 I have no clue how it is to meet 50's in PvP, see their skills in action and experience how hard it must be to both survive AND heal through all that damage.

Oh wait...
