TheFishes Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hello fellow healers... Are you having a bad day? Need a pick-me-up? Want to feel like a god? Well here you go! Have you ever thought about the fact that in about a month, when everyone has all their pvp gear, we're the only ones who will actually benefit from expertise!?!?!? Think about it... Larry, Moe, and Curly all have (X) amount of expertise... Larry is an Assassin Moe is a Marauder Curly is a Operative Healer Larry, Moe, and Curly all reduce incoming damage by (x/y)... Larry, Moe, and Curly all Increase outgoing damage by (x/y)... Curly increases healing by (x/y)... Larry hits Moe for dmg + (x/y) - (x/y) = dmg Moe hits Larry for dmg + (x/y) - (x/y) = dmg Moe hits Curly for dmg + (x/y) - (x/y) = dmg Curly heals self for dmg + (x/y) = dmg + (x/y) In a world where (x/y) is a uniformed, constant equation, Curly is the only one benefitting because Curly is the only one not having his dmg/healing reduced at the same rate it goes out... Damn it feels good to be a healer... /spanked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkonwing Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 you do realize that healingspells scale worse than dmg spells by basestats and secondary stats? So for every piece of gear the healer and the dd get better gear the DD get's directly more dmg output and the healer gains more through expertise.. so in pvp we heal 10% more while healing 30% less. -> profit^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moricthian Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If healers want to get Valor at the same rate as everyone else they should heal until the get 75k 2.5k and then focus on DPS for the rest of the game and hopefully pick up 10kills 25killls killing blow and 75k dmg. Your team will obviously lose but as a healer, its more beneficial to get 5 medals and a loss than 2-3 medals and a win. Either that or BW changes the Medal system so healers arn't screwed for doing their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT... Once again, We're healing more then we did with non expertise gear, while negating the damage bonus from the opponent's expertise with our own... So, victory!

TheFishes Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 and btw, time for some more fun math! expertise reduction does NOT negate the expertise dmg increase, it goes above and beyond... NON expertise math: Tom and Jerry have no expertise... Tom Hits Jerry for 1000 dmg Jerry takes 1000 dmg Expertise version: Tom and Jerry have a 10% expertise slide Tom hits Jerry for 1100 (1000 + 10%) Jerry takes 990 damage (1100 - 10%) YAY! There actually is a benefit to the reduction from expertise! (This would have been obvious to the free thinkers out there, but many people have been posting how expertise has no effect in end game and only helps you kill new 50's) Math is good...
