A cry for healers.

I see the passive being very handy, and i've been recently testing all sorts of different specs

the issue is lack of instants. melee chasing you = no casts. none, no hard casts. this is where warden shines, because you can heal so much on the run.

i can see the huge healbombs being handy but in return you get no: ridiculous amount of hots (and therefore shield greaters procs, i have both), ser procs (pretty sure HShowers is currently bugged, but i'm not going to elaborate because i dont want it nerfed), as well as the reflect, cleanse hot, double silence

so while i can see deep sent being quite nice for some fights, in recent times i've been ... 'favored' with '1' a lot more frequently. I just don't find deep sent to be all that survivable. If the other team doesn't know my name, yes it's great. otherwise... idk

never mark with 1 a strong healer, maybe put a 1 a weaker one

The great daisy (like the flower) teaches you how to heal.

This is why we can't have nice things

why would I possibly heal in WFs? not only are there stupid nerfs, you get immediately marked which lasts the whole match so you get nuked in seconds everytime you spawn.

There are too many heal debuffs, to many interrupts, stuns, ccs and other control.

healing is not only pointless in nukefest rift pvp its also really really frustrating. Esp as hardly anyone actually protects you.

Where do you find pugs that focus fire like this?

This is the problem i frequently run into as well. I tend to save a few cds for this. Ex. Such and such warriors jumps on me and bursts my hp down to half, touch of light healing invo usually puts me back to full, hopefully whoever it is isnt immune to knockback and i crushing wave them. I use this time to either gain a serendipity proc from healing flood or ill pop healers haste/vigilence and keep myself topped with healing invos. The only problem i see with beging mobile with warden is that since the nerf, the heals are just so damn low/weak. Highest ive seen even in full 51ward from ss is like 1400. Id rather stop for a sec, pop the lowbie puri sheild and heal myself with a fast cast healing invo thats likely to heal me for 8k than bunny hop around hoping for the best. The way i see it, if its someone who wants you dead they are going to do it anyways.

On the flip side tho, i love seeing well played sent/wardens they compliment well with 51 sentinels. I rarely duel que and im usually alone, so when i see another healer that ive seen put out impressive healing i make it my business to keep them alive. Same thing with people that peel off me.

I honestly think warfront scoreboards should include a 'saves' category

Indeed. However, 1.1 million in fluff heals makes it a lot easier for other healers to pull off saves.

How many times have I been 0.2 seconds to slow with Essence Surge? Having AoE heals around to keep people up that extra second would have been much appreciated.

On a similar note, fluff AoE healing may not keep people up, but it does keep them up long enough to do an extra GCD or two of DPS. Multiply that by however many players and it adds to a lot.

Where do you find pugs that focus fire like this?

It doesn't often happen in PuGs, but when it does it is obvious. Warriors and ranged DPS start ignoring the front line to go strait to your squishy derriere, and survivability goes down to zero as your team has no idea what is going on.

my pug teams almost never have any idea of what's going on. I'll be tanking a warrior in the middle of them for 30s before they actually notice and do anything.

Quite often I contemplate going to my full justicar troll spec. Clerics need a 'instakill and remove teammate from game' ability on a 5min cd.

I was going to respond, but then I saw your sig and decided you were not worth talking to.

Im still tryin to figure out how a game thats already sold out its initial prepurchase and has no reliance on subs is like the Zeppelin...kinda hard to sink whats already a success even by its old model......oh...and 3 Whitefalls with at least 15 people per side....not one healer in 2 of em on the defiant side

WOOT P50 NOW!! lol this thread is funny :P
