Harriscli Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hey all. I just canceled my account, however I have about 100 days of playtime remaining. I was a healer before 1.2 and have moved to DPS as I didn't feel like I was able to contribute to the outcome of the warzone as a healer anymore. I was hoping to get some feedback from others that have made a similar switch to see if you are enjoying the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinak Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) I haven't bothered pvp healing since 1.2 I am still raid healing but force is a problem. I don't like having to rely on another person to manage my force. I've tried a pve dps build and I am really liking it. Bioware needs to implement multiple specs asap.

KraGiEFunctional Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Healing in Patch 1.2 is fantastic! I don't know what you guys are afraid of. In PvP, I tend to be up at the top of healing done (if I'm not being farmed which has always been a problem with premades). In PvE, I find the changes make healing much more entertaining. For what it's worth, I had a lot of force problems too in the beginning, but I read the healing post on a theorycrafting site to fix that problem. It's a huge paradigm shift from before, but I find it a lot more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremJedi Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Could you post your approach or a link to that theory-crafting site? I'm interested to find approaches that I might find fun. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be on my A game to even get 300k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torduckin Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I can relate to the OP. Healing is dead. I play on a lower pop server where everyone knows everyone. As a healer I'd get marked immediately and be farmed for easy kills. Not being able to keep myself up through an OP/Smug stunlock is certainly not my idea of fun. GG BioWare, you got what you wanted. We've gone from Warzones with 10+ Inqisitards, to maybe 2-3 max. I recently switched over to a Madness build and won't look back until BW buffs Corruption. Even with my optimized healer gear I usually land in the top 3 dps/kills I can't remember the last match where I earned less than 10-12 medals. Yes we lack burst, yes we are still squishy, but at least we can contribute something. If you play smartly and defensively (ie. know when to CC/run and re-group from a fight you can't win) you'll do just fine. I was not planning on renewing my sub, but I've enjoyed dps'ing a hell of a lot more than being run over as heals. I might even stick with it until BW figures out what they want to do with healers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly play during the day where I know the majority of people in the warzone. In fact, I usually get waved at prior to being destroyed. As a few have mentioned. I can drop AOE heals and shied/dot everyone up to make sure I'm at the top of the healing charts, I just can't make a real difference on if my team wins or loses.
