Healing the feast sucks ;/

Just a question, because I don't know any healers personally who Feast, and I recognize a few of you awesome healers I see from time to time inside Feast - when would you expect your WAR to go into Defiance?

I read a comment earlier about 90k dps for WAR is bad, but there have been times where Im forced to grab 200 coins at start of match and then come to find out our healer immediately starts screeching at me to get into Defiance. I usually take that as "You need to compensate for my inexperience," and rather than risk getting bursted because the other team zergs me and having to face a salty healer lll most likely be queued up with again, I go Defiance and QQ at my dps.

There are some healers that are perfectly capable with me at 4 stacks and in dps stance right up to the third adreneline box where I almost always immediately Defiance.

I just want to get a feeling from you experienced pvp healers(Lord bless your souls), when you feel WAR should go Defiance.

Honestly you're fine without it man. If you somehow get to 250 then yea you might want to but usually its not needed.

I get a little antsy when Wars have 4 stacks and are still in deliverance, just because people start hitting you more, and my mana is draining a bit faster nothing too bad. If there's 30seconds left on the clock and you switch to defiance when we are winning, then it's great XD. 6+ stacks then I get really flustered. 10 stacks and I screech at my comp screen many swearwords while typing in chat "Defiance please. "

It's silly to judge a player from a single match DPS number. even having a high number is pretty irrelevant as what matters is doing the highest burst at the right moment for the kill.
We don't know how much up time that WAR had. Did he have to kite? did he have to pull back to go save another team member?
Sure if that WAR never did 120+K in all his matches, there'd be something to be said.

I see too many DPS (in the bronze-silver rank) who just don't know when to fall back/regroup and go Kamikaze to keep their DPS up then end up dying...

As for defiance, I'll go in/out based on situation:
- If I'm high on stacks, I may stay in defiance while I'm building my stacks and switch to Deliverance when it's the right time to burst
- I'll be in defiance if we're winning with 1min left on the clock and I have high medals
- I'll switch to defiance when I need to use Tow/ToB/Equilibrium for extra HP or when it's time to refresh shield/regen
