Don't waste your time. I could care less. I just understand people like you are too small minded to understand the purpose of such systems.

I know. The tool arguing that he's helping gear the ungeared people is laughable. It's fair to say that he's the only one voting for the noob so he's getting a whole 1 comm. Completely useless. But I'm sure you made that one guy feel good for the vote Mr. carebear.

You're completely missing the point. The extra comm (1) is worthless, is that really going to help them gear faster? Get real. It's setup to be a recognition system that incentivizes people to play the correct way. Whether that serves someone's epeen or not is irrelevant, it motivates people to work towards objectives and use proper team play strategy regardless of what their reason for wanting the votes are. That's the intent of the system. You can give your mvp votes to the ungeared if you want, but that's not really helping them and you're misusing the system and thus people lose faith in it because clueless people like you don't know what they're doing. I could care less about mvp votes myself, they're completely irrelevant and arbitrary. I just think they serve to incentivize people to play the right way and that's a good thing. MMO pvp'ers are about personal gain most of the time and any help we can offer, no matter the motivation, to work towards team goals is a good thing. You obviously don't understand the intent nor the benefit of such a system.

It's not a welfare vote, it's a vote for "most valuable player". It's not like it's going to help them gear up any faster. It's a recognition system that's supposed to reward people for playing the right way. Personally as a healer, I give it to a tank who keeps guard up on me. If there were no competent tanks, I give it to the person with the top medals.

I'm no hater bro. I love my healer sorc but he's definitely the least opportunistic healer of the three and take the most skill to produce. My problem is that I can not get the knockback root or the shield blind with my build. A hybrid build can but that's hardly a healer build and relies too much on casted heals which are hard to come by to say the least. How am I supposed to get distance on a mara with a knockback that doesn't root and keep him in range the whole time, a 1 min stun that lasts 4 sec (my best chance) and a sprint that is often times nullified by the mara by a root or stun when he see's me darting off. Look, I play a mara and I love to see a healing sorc across from me. Not because I know them and how to counter them, but because they're so easily countered by ANYTHING. Leave me alone and I'm deadly, look at me wrong and I'm running for my life. Not working as intended.

Complete tool here. Any class that requires a dedicated healer/guard/purge bot is not an adequate solution to as to your counter. I have a full WH healing sorc who definitely needs some love and I also have a full WH mara who could stand to lose a little. Take away or lessen one defensive cooldown and they're fine. It's just too easy to put out such huge numbers. I honestly think the difference is skill ceiling. Mara/sent are way too easy to do well, my sorc is way more complicated to do well. The "skill ceiling" should be relatively the same. As the BW pvp manager said, they raised the skill cap on sorcs quite a bit with 1.2 and they lowered it with mara's in 1.3 quite a bit. The problem is that they over nerf/buff classes. They seriously over nerfed sorcs and buffed mara's too much. I'd love to see these so called metrics they base their changes on.

Yeah I fall into the camp of the tank should follow the healer. A healer, such as myself (sorc), has to keep moving to keep shields on everyone. Also situationally to put down a AOE heal so I am always on the move. Not to mention that I get focused often because I'm very squishy and am often the #1 target for that reason, I have to keep LOS'ing and kiting. If a tank isn't aware and moving with me, the guard is useless as he's almost never in range.

This happens more times than not. That begs an age old question: Should the healer follow the tank or the tank follow the healer? Thread successfully derailed.

I don't think you're underappreciated at all. Keep that guard up on me, peel me and I'll keep you alive and we'll be good. Sincerely, Your healer

I've seen this a few times. This D-bag will hit this macro a hundred times in a WZ and thinks he's cool. As a sorc healer, I often pull him out of battle for fun and he definitely gets no heals.

As a sorc healer, my counter is sent/mara's. If I'm not stunned, I'm rooted and cannot kite/LOS as I need to be able to to stay alive. My best chance is to put my slow on them and sprint away and hope their jump is on CD.

810k as a sorc healer in void star, half WH no guard and getting focused pretty regularly not a premade, was a pug Regularly get over 700k but that was my top. Only been healing about 3 weeks tho.

1. corruption sorc .. .. 10. corruption sorc Depends on the wz. If I get support it's a lot of fun, otherwise I'm running for my life spending most of my time healing myself.

Besides telling you to get a thicker skin, there's something else you should know about a full ignore list. If someone is on your ignore list, you will never be grouped with them again in a pug wz. So if you have a full ignore list, you've just increased your wait time by quite a bit.

You can augment the matrix cube, I have mine augmented. There's a bug when you go to the mod station but there's a work around. Thanks for the info guys, I'll go with the WH power relic then!

I'm a full WH healing sorc and am trying to min/max and determine whether or not I want to replace my matrix cube with the WH power relic. I already have one of the power relics and I know the matrix cube was better when compared to the BM power relic but just wanted to check concensus on if it is still so vs. the WH one. Thoughts?

Yeah because reporting it does a lot of good. How many times have all of us been killed and been face down in the spawn unable to move until we're kicked? It's the most frequent "unplayable" bug since beta and it still hasn't been fixed. They still have no idea what causes it and there's been thousands of reports based on it and they've had plenty of opportunity to recreate it.

It's not just expertise, it considers and accumulates all stats and compares them. There are several pieces of my WH gear that actually have less endurance than the BM piece I'm replacing, same with willpower, my main stat. I'm talking about accumulative stats with the entire sets and it's been proven.

Yeah the actual increase was 1.89% and that was before augment gear. It's even less so now. Just get your BM gear and augment it and feel confident you're on the level playing field now. On a side note, no more excuses you baddies when you only have BM!!! I'm tired of hearing the reason I whooped you is because I have 2% more stats than you.

Padding your stats ftw. Whenever I see another sorc padding his stats via consumption and then healing himself, I always follow him around and heal him up. Really pisses them off. Who cares about medals/stats anyways? Win or G T F O. @OP, that's some funny sh*t. Looks like you're having a seizure.

It's a 2% overall increase from full BM to full WH. This subject has been debated and discussed ad nauseum. It's a minor increase at best and in some cases, it's not an increase at all depending on stat priorities based on spec.

yeah that is very unlikely but definitely possible. Not something BW is going to waste their time with. Working as intended.

He held the ball too long, that's the message that reads if you hold it too long. I'm sorry but the guy didn't have the ball for 20 sec. Happened to me before a few times trying to hold the ball in a tie when not paying attention.

WH is a 2% game over BM, it's not a huge jump in any stretch of the imagination but it's something for us to "grind" so we feel like we're progressing. I'm a fan of the 2nd and 3rd tiers being so close so that one can hit 50 and be viable in a week or so. It places less emphasis on gear and more on skill. If you have lots of alts, get them BM and then you can be competitive on any of them depending on what you feel like playing. Also depending on class, it's weird but some BM pieces are actually better than the WH ones of the same name. If you want the WH stuff, basically just buy the WH shells and buy the cheapest (2000 RWZ comms) piece which is the gloves or boots and put the mods in the shell of each of the 5 slots and that's the cheapest and easiest way to gear up. No reason to pay 3500 RWZ comms for the chest for example.

I'm a glutton for punishment because I run a full corruption healing spec sorc. I find pug's are terrible and I rarely get focused and if I do, I can kite/LOS them easy enough. Nothing I ilke more than pumping out 700k in healing and my entire team in "invincible". Regarding the OP's subject, I find that we often times have too many healers and we can't kill anything. To be honest, I do just fine healing the entire team on my own and I would rather me be the only healer with 7 dps. At the beginning of the WZ I will ask for a guard and I will note the tank who gave it and that person will not die the entire match unless we split up for some reason. I also like healing the "rambo" types that run in and force the issue and put the enemy on their heels. Everyone focuses them and you only really have to heal one person and it pushed them back and you can cap easier. Good times. Sindarin - The Bastion
