Extensive Feedback: Healing in The Feast (4v4 Solo)

[Koltik]

For one, for the longest time you guys have said SCH is the best healer, why the sudden change? Also, Bole is not the only Card an AST can draw.

The other Healers have stuff WHM doesn't...lol... I could maybe understand if you said Sacred Prism is what make's WHM OP, but even then that has a ton of counter to play to it.

Who even said anything about Bole?

What card does AST get that completely shuts enemy healers down for up to 24 seconds?

SCH has more instants to make up for DPS Line of Sighting, to mitigate knockback interference, but all of this does absolutely nothing if they are knocked out of LOS + slept. What's the SCH going to do to the WHM? Blizzard 2 them? Blind them?

What's the Astro going to do? Combust?

That's the problem, I should not have to "play around" a healer when that healer does not have to "play around" me. You want to CC me? Play a ranged dps or a tank, or give AST/SCH an equivalent.

WHM -does- need to play around SCH/AST, in that they need to appropriately time their sleeps and wisely use their FA's so that they are not using the GCD on what SHOULD be a heal.

Wisely? Please. It's on a 30 second CD, is not on GCD, and is insta cast. There is no wisely. You set healer as focus, make a macro to cast it on your focus, and use it when your team is bursting. It's not hard. There is literally 0 skill involved.

"Cards are not hard counters to anything, they are mitigating counters." Tell me what this means.

Stella. SCH could Blind the dps, mitigate inc damage. Blizzard ii, for peeling. You seem a bit salty that a WHM that is getting 0 pressure is able to spend an oGCD that normally would otherwise be used to peel for themselves (not on the healer) is ruining your day.

With this game's latency, you can choose which way you get knocked away, use awareness to avoid getting knocked out of LoS.

Fluid aura is on a 30s cd, suppose to be used for peeling themselves, and is melee range.

Ewer: Mitigates MP drain by giving you small amount of MP regen.
Balance: Mitigates weak DPS by buffing their damage.
Spear: Mitigates lack of insta heals AST gets, among other things by giving you lower CD's.
Arrow: Mitigates lack of Spell Speed if stacked crit/det.

Stella. Okay let me hard cast this 2.5 sec spell and let my team die since I wasted a GCD, while WHM can insta cast a knock back + 8 second bind with 0 effort and oGCD. Have you ever PvP'd? What's next, are you going to say that sleep is fine because I can heavy someone? As if they are equal? As if WHM doesn't get Stone?

How about we put the rulers away and agree to disagree, this isn't going anywhere. I think it has deviated from the main point of this thread.

So by adding mitigate to every description of card uses, it makes them all just "mitigating counters" ok. lol. lol. lol.

Using a GCD to CC is the same thing WHM has to sacrifice, and if they are getting pressured, the shouldn't have much room to be free CCing. Again Fluid Aura is melee range, so you have to actually be standing next to the other healer to get it off. Now I'm questioning if you've PvP'd, otherwise you'd know poor positioning is a factor.

Yeah I will stop, this is pointless.

Except it hasn't, because the point of the main thread, as Stephan stated, is to make healing Feast more enjoyable. Balance the healers, remove hard counters, and accomplish that goal.

You run out of MP, inevitable. How can you mitigate this MP loss? Ewer.

You don't get a kill because your DPS doesn't do enough dmg. How do you mitigate this lack of dmg? Balance.

I could go on, but it's not hard to put 2 + 2 together. You're the one who twisted what I said in the first place into just being about Bole.

Wow. You really did go there. Speechless.

I don't care if it's melee range or not, it is a small arena and it is not hard to run up to a healer who is spamming heals on their DPS to keep them alive.

Now I'm questioning if you've PvP'd, otherwise you'd know poor positioning is a factor.

I guess that I just glided up to Rank 1 2 seasons in a row on my good looks?

While the main topic of this thread is void from Koltik's point, I still want to try and help him see why his views are flawed and based on bias rather than theory. I think that there is room for civil discussion here.
