A fundamental flaw with FL (and PvP in general)

[tehomegaking]

DPS players wont get improve by playing WD.

Sorry but this is just stupid. You don't learn anything in FL because you rely on zerg to get the job done. In such hectic situations, the subtlies of combat are lost in numbers countering combat dynamics. To truly learn, you need to learn in a small scale environment where you have full awareness of whats going on and the luxury of 3+ other players covering for your mistake is removed. 90% of success is based on understanding the system, the nuances and dynamics between the classes. Until players learn all this, they should expect to have problems everywhere. This is why 99% of all FL generation players suck.

If you are unable to see why your healing potency is stronger than dps potency in ilvl80 PvP, you are really just trying to defend your own job instead of being a true PvPer.

In otherwise, if you ignore a key dynamic of healing and come to any other conclusion that that of my own, you are not a true pvp'r? Get real.

The real issue with healers are from having too much tools for offensive,

And yet again you completely ignore the fact that we can't cast if we are focused outside of ONE SKILL. Swiftcast, thats it. Our only other methods of casting are via situation safety skills. They are situational because, you need to be either A: stun immune, or B: at too far a distance to be stunned to use surecast. Same goes for equanmity, and both are subject to pushback. So we have swiftcast as our one viable means of guaranteeing we can use these offensive tools. Outside of that, we have a 30 second cooldown that can easily be made useless, then theres the once every 2 and a half minitues of equanmity that much like surecast, can be easily be rendered useless.
So we have no means of using these offensive tools if people focus us.
Leave a healer unfocused? Well thats on you/your team.

edit: yeah we have the instant aero/bio/misama 2. but they are hardly worth complaining about

Frontline players felt healers are too strong simply because healers have all the tools for offense, crowd control

We have one reliable CC on both heal classes, fluid aura (whm) and aura blast (sch) and then melee countering us with feterward/hg oh and purify/tempered which can be used much more liberally on DPS, on heals we need to save them. Outside of that? Guess what, our CC's have a 2 and a half second cast. Everything I mentioned above applies here. Nothing is reliable outside of swifcast to apply these CC's and scholar doesn't have any.


ITT: People who have no idea how healers work, trying to tell us how things are, lol.

I am strongly suggest you try to play other job on the Fronline and seeing other job's PoV instead of being trapped in one job's tunnel visioned world.

I'd strongly suggest you stop talking about things you don't understand.
