AdrianDmitruk Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You must decide whether you wish to Heal to Full or Make Them Pay. Once you decide upon a role, you should concentrate on filling that role. Healers heal; DPSers DPS. Healers should only really DPS at opportune times, such as an enemy near death, or when healing is not needed (though they should use knockbacks/stuns/slows on an as-needed basis to escape enemies). DPSers should focus on DPS, generally reserving healing to full for those moments where they have fled around line of sight obstacles to escape death and have a few seconds to cast some heals to full. (Exception for static barriers and unnatural preservation, as both of those are instant.) As of right now, it seems the best spec for you (since you wish to DPS in PVP) might be madness. Full corruption is widely regarded as having poor defenses in PVP, and if you are new to the class you will find full corruption very unforgiving in healing, let alone trying to DPS. After Game Update 2.7, DPS sorcs (of both specs) will be able to obtain the Fadeout talent from the corruption tree, making their defenses that much better. Full corruption is currently slated to remain relatively unchanged and will remain a weak spec for PVP (especially arenas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
