Well said. This guy is probably the only healer in this forum that understands it.

Wrong, this game should be and IS balanced around 1v1, which also means its balanced around 4v4, 5v5, and so on. Not all of us are stupid enough to buy into WoWs excuse of "its impossible to balance for 1v1, and if we did it would imbalance large group pvp" like most of you WoW kiddies seem to.

If you can't kill someone 1v1 as a healing specced its a L2P issue. You just aren't any good. And with that whiny attitude you won't get any better either.

So basically you admit that you're one of the worst players on this forum, and want healing to be as out of control and terrible as it is in WoW. Its so horrible in that game that even the devs laugh about it. I''m just glad that nobody takes anything you say seriously, and that your irrelevant QQing holds no weight at all to bioware.

Just to correct you, I never said I wanted healing nerfed I think its balanced in 1.2, my posts are addressing the bads that want healing to be buffed to WoW levels.

If you're losing to tanks in 1v1 its because you're just not good enough.

yeah gunslingers sure needed those damage buffs they outdps people doing AOE damage with their single target damage already was this really necessary?

I don't think you understand anything at all about pvp. Healers(99% of which seem to have an entitlement complex, you being an example) and tanks are and should be killable in a 1v1 fight, but in a group setting they are far better than any dps spec. Do you understand now? They exceed in group pvp, but they die in a 1v1 such as a duel. Don't worry, I have no trouble winning, considering my guardian is valor rank 72 and my marauder is valor 65, with my sage healer being valor 58 I bet you thought that was pretty clever didn't you?

Healers are strictly team players, just like tanks. No they shouldn't win 1v1s, ever, just like tanks cant(and dont bother whining about shadows tanks, they will always lose 1v1 against a dps if both are geared and know how to play).

Only tank specced guardians get warding call. And yes we do share saber ward with sents/maras.

You do matter and you do have a role. Its your teams fault that you die. They should be guarding you and if they arent tank specced, then they should be taunting people attacking you. As a vigilance guardian I always guardian leap and AOE taunt around my teams healers even though I'm incapable of using guard because of my spec.

What are you even talking about? what does the monthly fee have to do with anything? LOL More likely than not you're still in leveling gear and maybe some welfare pvp gear(recruit) and ran into a WZ and got stomped, and now you're crying on the forum.

Agreed 100% It needs to be on a 1.5 min CD actually. Even with focus defense our defensive CDs pale in comparison to maras/sents defensive CDs, and we're supposedly the defensive AC.

You're referring to WoW, correct? WoW is not balanced around anything except which class the lead dev plays at that particular moment. ToR is more or less balanced around 1v1 and the pvp in this game is far better than the pvp in WoW. If you don't think the pvp in this game is balanced for 1v1 then you don't have enough experience yet. I have 4 level 50s and I play or have played all roles extensively.

Healers shouldn't be able to live in a 1v1. If they have skill(everyone thinks they have skill, but most dont) and good gear(good defined as battlermaster or above) they should die eventually in a 1v1 fight with a dps. Healers should always have their team mates protecting them via guards and taunts, or CCs and dps from classes without those. Most healers that post on this forum want to be unkillable, they think because of the their spec they deserve a free ride through the WZ. That's unacceptable and I'm confident bioware will never allow that to happen, healing has never been as bad in this game as it is in WoW.

Every healer that posts on this forum except you wants an endless stalemate of healing. They want healing to be like it is in world of warcraft: Healers being invincible and able to keep 2-3 people at 100% too. Healing as it is now is fine.

the only CC I think is out of control is the CC that lasts 6-8 seconds(whirlwind or intimidating roar). CC needs to last a maximum of 4 seconds regardless of whether or not it breaks on damage.

frost mages were never fixed for the full year that i played WoW. A full year. They didn't receive one single nerf and they absolutely destroyed every other class in pvp nobody even had a chance. Holy paladins were unkillable in pvp for a year as well and didnt receive any nerfs. But you know who got nerfs? Classes that didnt need them. Frost mages/paladins were so ridiculously out of control, they make maras look like a joke. Granted, blizzard has admitted that they don't care one bit about pvp and got laughs out of *********** with their paying subscribers, but I expect better from bioware(even if the imbalance isn't quite as bad).

You should read up on their abilities or better yet level one yourself, and then spec vigilance and learn all their moves. You'll make short work of tank shadows after that.

On my server, the guy that rages at his team is almost always guildless and will always be guildless.

I feel your pain OP. I was actually forced to grind out PVE dailies a few days ago because i didnt have enough cash. This has never happened to me before 1.1, I made enough money doing pvp.

marauders are about as complex as guardians. I know because I have both, marauder in BM/champion, guardian in BM/rakata/war hero. Marauder only seems more complicated because they have a lot of useless abilities that are never used.

No class should be able to solo 2 other classes, unless those 2 other classes are in terrible gear and dont know how to play.

Who, besides tanks, have 26% defense rating? How many tanks do you actually see in pvp? Even with their high defense rating, do you honestly think they're hard to kill? Tanks are terrible in pvp and are only good as guard bots with a pet healer. That goes for sin tanks too, I don't get all the whining about them.

maras/sents are unbeatable in 1v1 and you shouldnt be losing to any sin if you're equal gear/skill. Vigil guardian is my main, the class I hate is sorcs not because they're hard to kill or "overpowered" but because I think all the FOTM kiddies rolled one, and the ones on my server have massive egos and talk the most ****.
