Was healing too good, or assisting just too hard.....?

With all the posts to read, both pro-nerf and con-nerf, for some there is a general perception that healers were just to good. Now I am thinking in terms of pvp mind you so keep this in mind.

 

In our guild we rarely had a hard time killing any healer in pvp we wanted dead. There were a very few well geared exceptional players that were painful to kill, but yes even they would eventually die. I credit that to ventrilo and calling for assists on the known healers. Several of us all assisting and using timely interupts (calling out who had next interupt in fact) would get the job done.

 

Your average WZ was mostly a bunch of random people thrown together, little or no target marking and certainly little to no calling for an assist on soandso healer.

 

UI's I have used in other games allow for you to see the target of each party or raid member, not the case here, couple that with no ability to make an /assist macro to assist it makes it even harder to ensure you are on the same target as someone else, especially if they switch.

 

Was it that healing was just too good, or that forming an assist train was just too hard?

Even now with healers getting marked (by me) when solo Qing people do not even bother to go after them. It will often be myself or myself and freinds (when group Qing) focusing on the healers while the majority or the baddies are attacking the melee/tanks. It was never a healing issue it was the huge amount of fail in the general pvp population.

 

Pre-patch organized teams were not having issues with healers. Now they are just destroying them. Only scoundrels are providing any sort of challenge.

i always felt angry when i was attacked by 2+ dps and they didnt interrupt once, surely theyd learn by 50 to interrupt some heals, that was my experience perhaps 30% of time i got attacked, i must have felt really op for those guys

 

when people actually interrupted (even if i baited interrupt on some ability) i had hard time surviving depending on if i had 1 or more attacking me, more than 1 usually killed if nobody helped

and some classes(well perhaps good players more than just certain classes) could solo me without breaking a sweat

Ha, I very often used /say to tell them that they can use their interrupts if they want to beat me.

They were just pounding me with pure damage, without any control. Thanks to these players healers got nerfed, because a casual player couldn't mash the correct buttons. People with a bit of brain would either kill me or almost kill me.
