Suggestion: Title/reward for healer in Frontlines

[KageTokage]

I'll never really understand the reluctance of people to play healers when they're easily the most important role.

They desperately need to buff WHM/SCH so they aren't garbage compared to AST, though. Their free swiftcasts coupled with their stronger cooldown abilities make them way better then the other two healers.

It might be the easiest but it's the least engaging and fun role in pvp. Then again, pvp doesn't have any depth so that already has a huge hand into how healers play.

Yeah, it was much more fun in HW and ARR, healers had the full range of their abilities then. You also had to pay attention more, or else an almost instakill dps LB could take someone out, or a Bard/MCH burst could take someone out if you didn't get dots/status effects off in time. There were also much more CCs to deal with, so knowing when to attune or purify was key.

Ironically Frontlines is at it's most fun when it's queue is near empty and it slots you in for the 8v8v8 mode. It feels actually tactical to play like that, as opposed to the 72 man which more often than not is a zerg fest.

Also I'm down for a title to be added, but I request it be called 'Herder of Cats' because that's exactly what healing in Frontlines feels like half the time.

secure is absolutely horrible with 24 players, seize and shatter are ok though.

24-man Secure is terrible. If they were so determined to keep the giant Borderlands Ruins map for 24 people, they should have just made it Slaughter rules. 24-man Slaughter was way more enjoyable than 24-man Secure ever was. All teams were more or less confined to the middle area and drones still spawned for hefty points. Home bases also had a launch pad directly to the center of the map. The map is just too big and flags too far apart for teams of 8 people.

I'd guess it probably has something to do with knowing that if you go healer the opposing team is going to be placing a #1 mark over your head while telling everyone in their alliance focus on killing healers first.

In the Feast, AST really is powerful. In Frontlines...I've noticed WHM are far more powerful, or at least my teams seem to have problems taking them out compared to SCHs and ASTs.
