Pure healer side? I hope you're joking. I've been maining killer in pvp for months on end. While trying out basically everything, and that was back when trying other classes was extremely costly, due to having to pay for each reset with what was at the time, scarce wolf marks.This is exactly why I am saying both sides are not on the same page. While healer side is defending themselves from pure healer's PoV,
The issue is with those players who use healers (Scholar or White Mage) as DPS role.
Understand that there is a difference between playing their class to the full extent of its abilities, and playing whm as a DPS role which you are saying. You are a gimped DPS. But you are a support based class. A good healer if given the freedom, can support their party in more ways than just healing. This takes skill and awareness, but 99% of the healers who try it, are just dumb and end up screwing themselves because they blew their only means of survival without analyzing the situation first. One on one is different. Healers have too much survivability one on one, don't let that fool you though, healers are brittle, even the best healers can be massacred in seconds if they make a mistake or get over confident or have something valuable on cooldown.
Leave them alone and they have this ability, pressure them and they have nothing. Any DPS healers can do comes at the sacrifice of healing if you are being pressured. It's that simple. If you aren't pressuring a healer, thats on you.Turn on your cleric stance and we get? A fully self functional DPS with high CC ability
So a healer shows up by themselves and solos an OP? 1 v 1 yeah a healer will win, but it takes a long time. Healers single target DPS sucks in comparison with actual DPS. 2 v 1? If the players suck it's doable.These players mainly show up and attack outpost.
But 2 on 1 against any competent opposition and it's all the healer can do to keep themselves alive. You don't see healers 2 on 1'ing in WD killing the dps... they work their asses off to live, thats how it is. A healer doesn't just show up and solo OP's that are even remotely defended (a lone tank is not a viable defense).
So your problem is with retard healers who want to do gimped damage instead of heals and sacrifice their healing ability to DPS.(again, there is a difference between playing it as a DPS and utilizing it to it's full extent, the second takes skill and educated gambles/sacrifice, and can pay off, but it is not easy to do vs good players) And healers who manage to kill multiple bads at an OP? If a healers going around without his party playing as pure DPS as you imply, hes retarded, if multiple people are being killed by a single healer.... I don't concern myself with what retards do and neither should you. Or if your're upset because you like to try solo unprotected OP's, then a lone healer comes in and ruins your fun... well sad day for you, run away and call for backup. This isn't wow.
So since I play another job, my PoV? I know healers inside out, and I know when and how to attack them. I know how brittle they are, and I know what must be done to kill them through months of playing a killer in WD as well as a healer. I'm also well aware of their strengths and the unlikeliness of killing them 1 vs 1 due to the fact that they have longevity and can afford to sacrifice some healing for dps/CC when in a 1 on 1 situation (doesn't stop me from soloing healers in FL, cause most suck (good ones is another thing)).If you take other job's PoV, what are these players showing them? Exactly, they would feels healer is so OP.
I know the scale is tipped for them 1 v 1, and it's highly tipped for them vs bad players, as bad players tend to do them favors, like making them stun immune. They are bordering OP in 1 on 1, but anything 2+ is fair game. I'm not really concerned with how others DPS feel on the matter. All I can do is offer the advice;That and don't expect to come out alive vs a competent healer 1 on 1, just run and regroup, you aren't really supposed to be playing 1 on 1 in FL anyways.Suck at killing healers? Go learn how to play in WD. Simple as that.
Your posts lead me to believe otherwise. That and the fact that you yourself said you havn't played whm or scholar, yet here you are, talking about what they are capable of with impunity.I am perfectly aware of what I am saying. Thank you.
Why do you keep assuming inexperience in others? It's silly. I'm not a healer main, I'm a killer main... only time I played healer more was at the start of FL release because I was sick of being paired with moronic lancers and WHM who'd open with stun.Yet, did you even try other job on FL yet to find out their PoV because you questioning my knowledge about Frontline PvP?
And yeah, I play a lot of DPS classes in FL.
How about you though, did you even try healing job on FL yet to find out their PoV? Oh wait...
This topic is beyond a waste of time at this point and I'm done posting in it.
