Dude we care a **** , at Begin wow hadnt arena and such stuff , it was a complete chaos like this , AND IT WAS THE BEST TIMES , then arena came , they changed classes via arena matters and the game became the biggest **** ever

So **** off with ur 2700 exp ^^ and manage , i mean , i love healing in the battle its simply awesome its chaos ye , but thats good , its even mostly balanced .


Thats one of the best pvp systems , except that lvl seperation should maybe get introduced , like 50s vs 50s , but atm there aint enough 50s , etc , the game is new , let it grow jeez

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).
My experience with an operative leads me to the same list.

In the meantime, my tank-specced BH feels *far* more capable and fun in PvP.

opps, deleted 1 -4 as I dont want to tell people my little secrets, to my success.

5) Don't just heal bot. Rotate in some damage and all the CC you can lay out.

6) Spending your time, here on the forums whinning about how bad you play SWTOR, cause your were so UBER FRACKING AWESOME SAUCE in WoW, is not making you better at SWTOR.

7) And yes, as a healer standing still healing in a Warzone, your gonna FING die, sometimes a lot. The other team is going to search you out and kill you. Its funny sometimes I have 4 enemies chasing me around the whole Huttball map to kill me. But, guess what WE JUST SCORED. You job is to help the TEAM win. By, CC. By, Heals. By, Damage, or by Dying. What ever leads to victory.

Enjoy you stay in SWTOR, if you cand handle the heat of a lazer blaster in the arse, there is always your 2700 Retardo Druid....
Only one thing to say - get rid of the shield sorc are spamming at the moment and see what the qq will be about.

I won't even get into the raid frames and totally unresponsive targeting system. Right now my Operative is 44 so I have all my abilities and it's still crap. Every single random DPS baddie can easily knock off 30-50% of my health in a global so it's impossible to keep up and then you just get interrupted/cc'ed to hell. Juking the interrupt? Good luck figuring that out!

It's not a positioning issue. It's not a l2p issue either.

It's just not fun being completely helpless without serious peels and even then healing is totally underwhelming.
Ummmm, ya.... i know you say your are experienced but I think you might be doing something wrong. My lvl 24 Operative rocks in PvP. Its actually the first time ever I preferred to play a healing class or a dmg class in PvP. i dont want to sit here and say "L2P" but come on. Healers rock in pvp right now. As a matter of fact, it looks like the team with the healers is the winning team.

While wows healers are ridiculous this game is the other extreme. There is next to no point bringing in a healer into a warzone.
Seriously? I seen 5 people take over a warzone just because two of them were healers. Guys need to learn how to play them is all. I'm not even that good at healing and we win more then lose when i bring my healer.

From what I can tell, healers aren't supposed to be able to out heal damage.

I think that it's pretty clear that healers are supposed to make killing them take a long, long time. I've come up against some pretty good healers in PvP and the best of them make killing them so very tedious and lengthy... that it just isn't worth the hassle, unless you're purposefully removing them from a fight.

Yeah, the CC is a problem... but all that means is that you need to learn how to efficiently apply your CC breaker. I see loads and loads of people just pop their anti-CC at the first sign of CC... on full health... with full resources... with loads of back up. It's a ridiculous thing to do. If you're on full health and CCd... stay CCd. You can save the break for a much more crucial moment.

I fear saying it but it does sound like an L2P issue to me

LOL

That shield absorbs very little damage. EVERY class I've encountered has some kind of "immunity" buff that they can pop that reduces incoming damage, or increases avoidance, or whatever. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Just because people don't know how to deal with sorcerers doesn't mean they need nerfing

It's going to happen though. I can see the mounting QQ.
