Suggestion: Balancing outgoing heals in Frontlines.

[NargaHuntress]

If you can't down a WHM/SCH effectively with the your team. Then YOUR team needs work. Not the healers. Honestly if you had a team full of healers most the time you would not be complaibing avout your own teams outgoing heals. Its just another case of "cant work together to kill heals".

[Zyrusticae]

Seriously though, the solution is extremely simple:

Maximum of 2, MAYBE 3 healers per full party, period. End of discussion. Healers wouldn't need any adjustments with this change.

It's when you reach the breakpoints of 4 or more competent healers that things just go to hell.

This is not done because they wish you to rely on strategy and could not you imagine the que time for frontlines if it was made like a regular raid but with 72ppl! Are you crazy?

Then they will have to nerf all heal amounts in Frontlines, because there's no way in hell you're ever going to have anything resembling balance as long as healers can dish out 300k+ heals per match.

Healers are OP.

It is never a smart move to adjust Healers' healing abilities just for sake of PvP, because it will destroy PvE. PvE is the primary for FF14.

How about put a restriction on number of healers? No, it wont work, becaue it will put more stress on matching making and everyone will just get a long que, in which we dont want.

If you cant either touch healing abilities or number of healers, there are only two options left:

1. Find some way to increase meeles' uptime on healers to give more pressure.
2. Put penalty on their PvP actions.

You would never touch the PvE actions because we dont want to see WoW chaos in here, again.

They nerfed CC on pvp instance. They can adjust abilities in PvP instances as much as they want and it wont hurt PvE content.

Possibly the most balanced way would be healing diminishing returns.

Two possibilities come to mind

1) If you have over X amount of healers in your group or battle, all heals are reduced by a stacking X%

2) The more you heal a single target, the less its going to be healed for. After the Xth heal within Y seconds on the same target, they get a stacking -Z% heal received for N seconds.

This is the intelligent response.

Storms Eye already stacks with Disease from the SCH/SMN, atleast i believe so. Thats 40% reduced healing right there.

Furthermore there are many many diffrent ways to deal with the healer. Besides which has already been mentioned people need to save their Stuns/Silences for when the healer dips below half HP or pops Equiminity/Surecast. Coordinate DPS, you can EASILY blow up a healer before his friends can help him out with coordinated focus fire.

Glory Slash/Wither/One Ilm punch remove Protects/Regens/Stoneskins, START USING THOSE DISPELLS. That which was useless in PvE is amazing in PvP.

If you encounter a 6 WHM/SCH group (that has never happened to me) then simply let them camp the flag and go cap a different one or bring in more people and just sit on top of them. They cant kill any of you unless you have absolutely no heals. Honestly this is PvP, you cant expect to ever win by whacking your heads against something and crying when it doesnt die. Sometimes it better to pressure the WHM/SCH's and then go in a burst a BLM/BRD because they are distracted. Try sleeping the other healers and then bursting a single one down.

There are so many ways of dealing with them.
