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

only thing we healers need is better ally targeting thats all

They need to sort the raid frames, both updating hp properly and showing everyone in the WZ.

They also need to sort hitboxes, as it is waay to hard to click your own team mates for heals when they zip around dodging, jumping and strafing.

They also need to sort color codes on name tags, I would like to make my group mates stand out.

What I like so far is that there is no AoE spam heal ability that is the answer to everything, unlike certain other games. I am only lvl 25 though so that might change for all I know..

..and ofc they need to give us more medals for healing.

MOOOOAR!!1one

Healers need to learn their prime rotations for max healing power. I'm a consular Sage, and with my expertise, force armour has no cooldown. This means I can apply it to everyone in an 8 man group as we run towards our objective, not to mention my big heal only takes 1.5 seconds to land.

You need to be predictive to be a good healer. If you just watch the raid frames, an ally could be dead before you start a heal. If you watch the battlefield, you can see an enemy running at your ally and put the HOT on them before they get hit.

Healing is easy in TOR, you just need to have excellent spatial awareness and quick fingers.

One thing alot of people whine about is that at level 50 healers can't keep up with the damage done in PvP. Did it ever occur you that more people focus fire at level 50 and no healer can stop an ally dying if 3-8 people are all attacking one person?

My record in PvP for healing is 370k in a Voidstar, and I was getting attacked alot.

My rotations are flawless though, and I never run out of force energy. It's almost an instinctual thing now, I know exactly when everything is about to come off a cooldown. The force flows through me!

And woe betide anyone who wastes their time attacking me because they realize I'm a healer. I have Biochem and with it I can heal myself better than anyone else!

Healing in warzones is hit or miss for me. If the UI is functioning, (eg: range and health levels updating, and actually listing all friendlies currently in the warzone) I seem to make a very small difference.

There are far too many stuns, interrupts, and CC's with only a very few counters. a 30% perma MS effect, means I rarely ever actually prevent a death. I may get off 3-4 flash heals, an instant hot, a shield maybe two, but they still die.

I don't feel as though healing is contributing much to the overall scope of the game.

It is simply too easy, and too effective to melee zerg assist target after target.

Furthermore, any system where 1 dps can solo a healer pretty much removes any reason to queue up as a healer. 2? Sure. 3+? absolutely.

Too many stuns, too much burst, too easy to zerg assist - no healing can prevent a death like that, renders healing feeling very poor, IMHO.

I know it's a fine line, and I'm less complaining, and more stating my opinion on how it feels to me.

I don't see TOR holding my interest in PvP healing, and I'd expect a year from now if nothing changes to see nothing but dps classes.

Honestly, it's not even fun.

I'm hardly bad or a beginner (2700 exp Resto Druid), but I can't even begin to describe how awful PvP healing is in this game. 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.
