PvP Healing, by far the worst experience I've ever had as a gamer

ooo I know this one!

I think most of this problem comes from the horrible balance of PVP, I mean, how do you allow lvl 50s compete aganist a lousy lvl 20? That's why I've chosen to wait until my char get to lvl 40 to even try my first match.

The PvP aspect of this game is not very attractive to me anyways.

Hey guys I'm complaining about class balance before max level herp derp.

Try playing a healer with 2.5s cast heals and light armor. Maybe you forgot the 4th option: D) They are sorcerers without instant cast heals (well, 1 HoT that heals 200 per tick), 40% damage reduction and many stuns.

Healers include mercs and sorcerers too, not only operatives, and I'm sure it's easy to survive with instant heals and heavy/medium armor, but not so easy when you take 3k+ damage and everyone can interrupt your 2.5s heals easily.

I can't begin to mention how many times I've held mid against numerous zergs with just two or three allies as a healer. Learn to stand at the back, use your rest ability when not in combat, and, oh ya, l2p.

I'm enjoying thoroughly the fact that I'm not a god that can put my back to a wall and outheal three dps beating on me from the top pvp guild on the server for five minutes before they give up and run away- having to actually be good to be a good pvp healer is going to make the game so much more enjoyable.

The only thing I can agree on is the frames needing some work- but, I imagine the UI is going to be high priority for the next big patch, since it's a fairly constant point of concern. Dual targetting would be nice too, but I have managed without it.

What's the point of a healer if he cannot negate he damage of at least one dps class? Ill answer. There is none. Just get another DPS and you are better off. That's fundamentally flawed. Look at the score boards at the end of warzones, top healers have half the healing the top DPSers have in damage.

To that, add the fact that everyone has interrupts and cc and the fact that just about every heal has a very long cast time.

Healing aint that fun eh atm.

yes. this.

I am max lvl and I've seen healers hold their own against one, sometimes two, dps players. It is not undertuned at all. Don't make any assumptions until you have all your skills and talents. If you are losing out to a higher lvl person in pvp it is either because you don't know what you are doing or you don't have as many skills and talents as them.

Be patient and wait for when everyone is 50 and has all their crap figured out.

The system is based on group PvP, as most games now days are. If you had a healer who could easily stand there and heal, then when they are guarded and properly defended, they would be on a whole new unfair level. Tanks are your friends and make it damn hard to kill anyone they are guarding.

Hell, even a good dps specd class with a taunt who actually played properly could change your entire experience. You say you played at 2700, how would those matches go if nobody on your team peeled and you got trained the entire game? Same thing here.
