Healer issues in PVP

Please for the love of god. If you are in an 8v8 Feast and you see either 1 or no healers in your party, take one for the team and change to a healer. It is such a stress to be the only person healing in an 8 man party.

Don't say nobody told you so. Just be a good player, take one for the team and be a healer.

A lot of times after changing to healer, I got "heals??" or "where is the heals?" or "heal afk?" when HEROs not moving as a group and running into different directions and trying 1 vs 8^^;

I was in an all ranged/caster dps party today and was the only melee dps. No tank..no healer. We lasted less than 2 minutes after the fighting began.

I had parties where just as I load in I see 1 healer, so I change to healer too to help out.
What does the other healer do, then? Change to DPS. So I am left there solo healing. Why you do this to me...? T_T

just wondering but where both of you whm? I have a friend that hates double whm for pvp and would rather be a dps then to play like that (does not have sch or ast yet)
she says 2 whm is too gimped in pvp and hates playing it. She hates how her divine seals and regens can be overwritten by normal ones and feels useless when she casts medica II while the other does so, at least useless compared to any other healer mix. She does this hoping someone else would change to sch or ast since she can't

oh okay, got no clue then, I never seen that other then my friend switching out at the sight of being a second whm.

Shame we can't use chat to discuss our party comp beforehand eh?

I was in a 8v8 with two healers against a team with no healer and we ended up loosing when time was up.

But you can stack multiple regens and medica 2's. Nothing is overridden.

That's a damn shame

nope one to many times ive taken "one for the team" and non took one for me. running into the group solo. tanks taking my defense buff when im the only healer who is most likely going to get focused. dragoons being even more dragoony in pvp. Always oom. people dont retreat when i tell you too costing us the game at the 10sec mark. yeah no. besides 8v8 is just for fun. healing it just makes me angry af.

I don't... think ... you can. You can have regen, medica II and dinural regens on the same target, but you can't have 2 white mages cast medica II and have the buff twice in pvp (it says on all these abilities "cannot be stacked in pvp")

Whm isnt weak at all, though. Repose/sleep is a game changer, and sacred prism is by FAR the most powerful healer pvp skill. You shut down physical dps for 30 seconds with it. Fluid aura is hilariously fantastic in frontlines, too xD hang out around a cliff and I bet you can get battle high pretty easy.

I think whm forces you to be more proactive since it doesnt have as many "oh shi.." buttons as ast or sch. But if you find all you're doing is reacting to hp bars falling, even as ast or sch, that's an issue anyways (and probably the defining line between good and bad healers)

This is false. Hots get overwritten just like shields

Yup. They got rid of stacking WHM HoT skills back in the original FL because an alliance (or more) sitting on a flag spamming Medica II and Regen was quite simply the most obnoxious thing ever encountered in FL.

Not aimed at you, but this is for general knowledge > AST Diurnal and WHM HoT skills can be stacked. Same rule applies though: AST Diurnal Regen + WHM Regen = OK -- AST Diurnal Regen + WHM1 Regen + WHM2 Regen = Nope, the WHM Regen will cancel out the other, as would an AST duo casting their Regen on a target.

Nice Job! Ahhh I just miss gg lol
