Are healers meant to be gods in PvP?

[Moxas]

I just tried 4v4, went in as Ninja, practiced the best burst damage i can ever do, Proceeded to attack the healer for the next 10 minutes, but he barely gets below half HP, what gives?

Healers have always been powerful in PvP; however, it is more noticeable now. Out of curiosity, which healing job was it?

[Moxas]

The last one i fought was Scholar, the one before was White Mage, White Mage seemed easier, but maybe that depends on the healer him self.

It's always been hard to solo a healer. You have to combine stun locking with bursting with your partner. They took away the tank stun, so now you have to rely on coordinating burst. It's very difficult to take a skilled PvP healer down.

[Moxas]

Eh, well whatever, i didn't think it'd be this bad, what i thought was something like this

Attack the healer, eventually he'll run outta MP, then he'll die if his team mates don't protect him or kill our healer first.

I'll just put 4v4 a side for now until they decide to turn off demi god mode for healers.

Surprisingly enough, you need to do this thing called teamwork in this team based mode. Healers, and their teammates, can be killed in practically two seconds if you coordinate bursts properly on a target. Especially with the new PvP changes where healers do not have as many tools to defend themselves as before. As a healer main I can't believe people are still complaining that they can't kill healers. It's easier than it ever was before.

Healers are far from being god, a simple coordination of burst is enough to put lots of pressure on them or to kill them. It's also way harder now to heal more than 1 target getting burst at once. A good healer will never be able to carry a match if their DPS aren't doing well.

Thanks everyone, this thread is over, i only wanted to know if healers are meant to be invincible to dps unless we get serious coordination going on, which is non existent in a solo queue , now i know that's true, and so 4v4 is not for me at all.

What teamwork did the healer do exactly other than spamming heals on him self? hmm do tell please.

Well, the stripped out healers' survivability skills for the most part, so it makes sense... wouldn't be playable if any DPS looking at you funny could just off you in 2 seconds.
