Cleric Stance in PvP

Okay, I see I must be very specific with you. Yes, I am aware that ground effects do not affect anyone outside of the party you are in within all pvp modes. I'm suggesting in pvp it could encourage people to play healing roles more if they did. Also, yes, healers are needed and often in short supply. My question is, why is that so? Is there a way to fix that? The same issue occurred some time ago with tanking roles. A lot of people did not wish to play tanks in dungeons and other content, so they set up incentives and also worked on the jobs themselves to encourage better gameplay balance.

Also, what I mean by rewarding gameplay, it means you actually feel like your role matters, or you are enjoying what you're playing. It would be cool if at the end it showed how many people you saved or raised or something like that. It does show how much hp you healed, but that doesn't really say much.

I'm personally not bored with playing a healer (I didn't see someone say they were bored with healing in this thread that I recall), it's more frustrating than anything. I do the things on your list, but that doesn't mean someone may not enjoy playing healing or find it boring or even love it as is. Everyone has their own opinions on these things. However, it is apparent that a lot of players are NOT playing healing roles in PVP, regardless of how they feel whilst playing it. And I think this is an issue that may need to be addressed.

Also, if you are truly 1v1 another person such as dps or tank, you would probably still come out on top as a healer, unless they use a limit break on you. And even then, if you have enough hp, you could outlive that as well. It just takes a really really really long time. lol
