Tbh i dont really care about gw2, im staying right here, I love the warzones and I play merc healer =) so imagine that...wherever you go and complain about the present with a grass is greener on the other side mentality, you have lots dissapointments to bear before accepting and apreciating what is ok. Perfection is just a guidline in the direction we should take, not an absolute goal.

Raspberry flavour

So the melee fotm are complaining about the ranged fotm? I think you guys are just not used to dying much. I play merc so i think they fine, dieing to a sentinel or sniper is the same

The mvp should be given to anyone the voter wants simple. Also, basing you judgement solely on a board in respect to the most medals is incorrect most times to actual reality, because + examples: -A solo defender calling out inc, gets nowhere near anough medals as the jug guarding his pocket healer aoe taunting and stomping the enemy crowd. -Someone intelligent which uses a mechanic which turns the tide, like mass cc to prevent interrupts on bomb planting, or pulling the enemy at the scoreline while the ball is in midflight (hollywood /care) -Teamplayers that dont worry about medals and ofcourse are always higher in objective points anyways, usually I avoid voting top medal earner unless I visually saw him play smart, or isnt a pt/vg or maur/sent and moans in chat about people being useless. Its the same mentality and atitude that people avoid top medal earners, plus they probably vote for people randomly to help them and motivate them

I never vote for the ones with highest medals, because for a tank its super easy getting dps and protection medals just sticking around beating on somebodiez. People with low medals and crap objective points are leechers...no matter what help they need getting comms for gear its not right..However if they have low medals but defended a turret the whole time they def deserve a vote. Also just because you dont get a vote all the time, doesnt make the vote system useless. I love it, because its a way of showing appreciation and helping out those that you think deserve, doesnt matter if its a guildie or friend...its your vote, do whatever you want with it.

I mainly play healers in every mmo, and in the previous mmo I had every single healer available. I also have lots of experience as dps class on alts, and ofcourse I always go straight for the healers and shut them down in warzones. Healer perspective: - I play a merc bodyguard, and if I dont have guard or teamates peeling dps off me, I have a hard time keeping myself up let alone my teamates. Its playable...but it definitely is more frustrating than it is pleasant to play. If im let unattended I can pump out good numbers (but so can any healer or dps left alone or not killed). So this class is good when left alone, and terribly frustrating when focused on. We got no realible cc (1 with cast and big cd), no effective escape or kiting mechanisms, no efficient and realibe "on the run" healing (we must be facing our mates most of the time for zero heat heal ticks) Dps perspective: - I find it extremely easy to kill merc healers, they cant kite me or cc me, and I can interrupt all of their heals, except healing scan which has a cd. But most importantly while im on these healers they cant heal anyone else They only manage to sustain dmg with their shield up+30 stacks then its game over - Op healers are most hard to kill, basically because they are so mobile(can go around structures and avoid dmg) while being heal efficient(heals over time vs cast), and have good cc with short cd... It takes a lot longer to kill them and get wz objectives like turrets and placing bombs. In the end of the day, people claiming that merc healing is 100% fine, your definition of fine applies to the other dps classes and healer classes too? In that logic Op healing is 140% fine. I help my wz team alot more when I dont bring my merc, and bring something else even in lesser gear.

1. A Mercenary/Sage healer 2. Teamates that peel dps off me 3. Solo defenders 4. Person with most objective points in that order..

I agree nerf healers please, because atm I play merc healer and I think its unfair if I manage to survive initially as a dps class beats me up. Ofcourse I cant maintain the heal vs dmg and eventually I die, but im happy that I got the opportunity to be invited to the wz. Sometimes I think, maybe I should try tickle that dps attacker with some awesome dps of mine, because maybe it will frighten them away...maybe?. I will try this tactic next yeah, I will do like a bear dance and run towards you violently throwing green stuff on the floor, looks like acid?, yeah no fear in my red eyes, you better be running quick, or slow...doesnt matter I cant snare you too, I will spare your life, I believe in peace and friendship and love my enemies and sometimes forget I use too many comas in my sentences like when Im stunned sometimes over another stun again? why not? I get to watch tv. I dont mind going into a wz now and being the first to die, because at least the enemy dps is busy on me so my dps teamates can also have some fun and look for the enemy healers because its the right thing to do for improved medals you understand obviously. The best thing about being healer now, especially merc healer is the little medals I get but my teamates are good people and vote for me sometimes because they feel sorry for me when my face is on the floor more times than anything. I guess im bad person and deserve this punishment, its like the world you know, not everyone can be rich, and rich people arent rich when there are no poor people. I know I dont give up on my class =) nerfs and buffs come along and when I do kick lame dps that roll fotm classes it makes playing and winning with a underpowered class or role even more satisfying.

I appreciate all the info and help you are offering the other classes. But honestly, making this type of thread only contributes to how superior sent/maur are, in your hope of convincing the community that the class you play is ok and doesnt need adjusting, but you intend that the community infact needs to understand how to play against your class and that its not a case of obvious overpowDered abilities I dont intend to troll or flame Your post was informative to my pvp gameplay and awarenes nonetheless.

Great video! good teamplayer

When a sentinel gets on me, its pretty much game over for me, no matter what i do. Its frustrating...but I dont reroll fotm, I prefer always the underdogs, but this is a bit too much..... Waiting for future balance tweaks. I play mercenary healer btw

Im a merc healer, atm I dont enjoy healing in pvp that much, but all healers are teamplayers and never give up on wz..i do wish it would be less frustrating, but i think my main complain is my AC that gets almost completly shutdown by melee interrupts, and so I just ask for expertise to reduce interupts...thats it:)

Its frustrating not matter how good i play i cant do anything against them..i enjoy the force push for a melee class

I bet your a sentinel or maurader But that aside, I vote for your positive atitude, just hope it continues even when good times go away

As a merc healer, they have become my bane and frustration...taking what little enjoyment I take out of solo queue pvp. I still enjoy my merc even though it has been nerfed, but I just cant escape one or survive one atm. I just log off and watch some tv
