Why do healers do so little damage in PvP? Also can SCH get a bit more for defense?

In other modes it never really bugged me, but in Shatter it's a little frustrating to be stuck at ice with like a BLM or SMN and wholly unable to contribute. So little fighting goes on at ice - even BRDs/MCH don't try to interrupt casters anymore because it's more advantageous to just PVE ice lol - so aside from dashing in to AOE stun an opposing team I just kinda stand there and Aero spam on enemy BLMs for lulz.

This is actually one area where I think healer DPS needs improvement, go figure. Even if CS worked at half effectiveness or something, or was only enabled for certain maps in Frontline.

Yeah that is the main point of what I was taking about. least on data one I can stop them from tagging it but with ice i am useless, why?

also I am not really complaining about being a DPS as a healer but more so complaining I can only do 40-200 damage. It is way too small. Of course a healer is not a DPS but it should be high enough to play mind games. Also what does battle fever do? so as a healer I am cheated out a buff just for being a healer? Tanks can take damage and deal it, how come healers can't do any respectable damage?

Because your job is a "Healer" in PvP

tanks are tanks and they deal damage. If you think about it, DPS shouldn't have stuns, dispel, etc, I mean DPS are for damage right?

The tooltip says Miasma II heavy effect doesn't work in pvp areas. Is it wrong?

The person you quoted is wrong. only thing I can do is bind from a cross class ability and heavy if I hit someone while mounted.

Again, You're job is a HEALER. you HEAL. not deal damage, if healers were trying to deal damage in PvP, then they wouldn't be healing and then dps/tanks would die. causing a easy loss. nobody wants a healer trying to dps of 200 dmg when they can heal for all the damage and burst that will be thrown at them.

Tanks are already doing their job. Tanking, they have a higher HP pool than DPS so they can survive longer in a battle and provide some damage and vulnerability effects on enemies.
