Getting targeted is a risk you take when playing a healer in warzones, but I would kill for just one time for one of my teammates that i just kept alive with 2-3 guys beating on him would come peel the guy off me instead of running away.
welcome to the world of pug healing... if they dont come to your aide they obviously don't love you for it.

Fact of the matter is, Healers run the world of PVP so be selective in your choices. Make sure you heal those who understand the use of teamwork (i.e. tanks that gaurd you or DPS that peels your attacker) and make it known to all that you will refuse to heal random pug dps'ers

Should get you more respect and pvp control

^^ This.

PUGs are rolling the dice and healers are the most underrated class of all time.

You can't focus in other stuff than that, maybe some cc if you have everyboody controlled. You also won't see everybody 100 % health up in warfronts, if you heal spam you would be a retard and have cero energy and everyone down! Need to be patience heals people most low and try to keep you're energy around 50 40% diag heal get up some energy, heal more

I'll recommend to get a good tank that guards you and you will kick ***, try to get your tank to guard people who are getting focus!

I use to have Druid on wow and It was retarded easy to heals boring at some point I'm enjoy new challenge

Sorry my English
This is my issue with healing in pvp. The UI isn't supportive. Raid frames don't update the health bars correctly, mouse clicking the player in game window isn't robust, and you can't attack or heal through your target.

33 Sorcerer ... I don't have half that ... might be my level, but as of right now I agree with your OP assessment. Not to mention you don't wear light armor

We also get a 4-5 sec stun and a aoe stun for 3 seconds

We will be getting nerfed soon i do know this. but i am man enough to say we are OP

its medium armor. im sure it makes a difference over light armor.

Another thing that made a difference was the alacrity stat. i have been stacking that. so my single target heals will go super quick.

The only game that had any meaning in PVP was DAOC.

/Thread

This game has great PvP and is quite balanced. This is why I miss DAOC less crying knowing that PVP or RVR is meant for teamwork. Not rediculous nonsense I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SOLO EVERYONE.

Im sure alot of people will disagree w/ me but i enjoyed Warhammer's pvp ALOT. id prolly still be playing it time to time, if it was not for the lack of people on it.

I agree with the OP; any dps can murder a healer by face rolling on the keyboard.As a commando healer myself; I'm seeing the same thing as OP said.
god forbid DPS be able to kill a healer

I'm a tank, you should have a tank around to protect le healers with taunts + shields

tanks can outmatch DPS

healer + teamwork = win

This is a user-error, IMO.
