Pvp casters interrupted by direct damage

[Seraphyna]

yeah and the 100 heal as well..

the point is that a Casters heal Should be able to out heal a Single Attack.

With the interupt the caster has to keep moving making healing and DoT a bit harder to do.

Please enlighten me how you cast heal when you're stunned for 6 seconds then again and again and again....then dead. Oh wait.. you don't.

Warrior's new holmgang works like Scorpions "Get Over Here" move in mortal combat. As such I think warriors will be pretty annoying to casters.

Yes... yes it is. That followed by stuns is death.

Then they'll get out the nerf bat again. They've done it 3x. What makes you think they won't do it again?

[Alhanelem]

Everything will be fine.

Casters were super OP in the pvp beta test (even though they actually were already being interrupted *most* of the time).

Relax guys, its not a big deal.

You need to cooperate with your team mates if you want to win. Sleep or bind the DPS before they get to you, use Sprint if someone is beating on you, use things that inflict Heavy. While there is a CC removal for all classes, it has a long cooldown.

How is getting interrupted by taking damage while casting in PvP any different than PvE right now? If I pull hate off the tank while doing my AoE rotation and the healer isn't tossing out holy, I get smacked and can't finish a spell, so I resort to Blizzard II spam (quicker cast time, especially once you hit UI3)

That's the reason we have Surecast/Swiftcast

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

well there is always Blizzard II i suppose. if you're a healer you can Bind them melee. and run away and heal then apply a DoT. but this is pretty much all you can do. there's Holy as well. but it's cast time is too long in most cases.

it is next to impossible for a healer to perform in Wolve's Den. if you stay still you die. if you move your teammates die.

if the spell to remove negative effect was an instant spell. then that would help healers considerably in PvP.



can someone give a healer some tips for Wolve's Den please? thank you ^_^

[Eissels]

I would like to explain why this doesn't invalidate casters.

But I'm asleep.

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

honestly it would help if they added some extra effects to a couple skills.

like Scholar's Adloquium or Succor or Scared Soil and White Mage's Stone Skin.

these skills could add protection against interrupts.


yesterday ALL day i played Wolve's Den. i never won a single match. and always died in under two minutes. it's just literally impossible for healers to do anything but run away. i dunno about damage casters. but if you are a healer you are screwed. you instantly will have both enemy damage roles on you. and there is not a damn thing you can do. you can run, but the damage over time will kill you. and you can stop to dispel or heal. but then you are stunned to hell and back. either way it's not good.

the only thing i can do as White Mage is run around like a chicken with its head cut off while spamming Regen. and Regen alone simply isn't enough. it is easily over powreed by damage.

[Nihility]

bards are pretty much way over the top in pvp atm, just pick a caster and he will never get a spell off and if they use surecast a silence will still end it and the effect gets consumed at the start of casting so you killed their cooldown too.

and casters don't really have a big supply of instant things they can do like most games.

Sleep, sleep, sleep. The true broken PvP mechanic. 'Nuff said.
