Healer issues in PVP

[Meimi_chan]

I had parties where just as I load in I see 1 healer, so I change to healer too to help out.
What does the other healer do, then? Change to DPS. So I am left there solo healing. Why you do this to me...? T_T

just wondering but where both of you whm? I have a friend that hates double whm for pvp and would rather be a dps then to play like that (does not have sch or ast yet)
she says 2 whm is too gimped in pvp and hates playing it. She hates how her divine seals and regens can be overwritten by normal ones and feels useless when she casts medica II while the other does so, at least useless compared to any other healer mix. She does this hoping someone else would change to sch or ast since she can't

No, I was whm while the other player was an ast.

No, other player was an ast.

But you can stack multiple regens and medica 2's. Nothing is overridden.

I don't... think ... you can. You can have regen, medica II and dinural regens on the same target, but you can't have 2 white mages cast medica II and have the buff twice in pvp (it says on all these abilities "cannot be stacked in pvp")

Whm isnt weak at all, though. Repose/sleep is a game changer, and sacred prism is by FAR the most powerful healer pvp skill. You shut down physical dps for 30 seconds with it. Fluid aura is hilariously fantastic in frontlines, too xD hang out around a cliff and I bet you can get battle high pretty easy.

I think whm forces you to be more proactive since it doesnt have as many "oh shi.." buttons as ast or sch. But if you find all you're doing is reacting to hp bars falling, even as ast or sch, that's an issue anyways (and probably the defining line between good and bad healers)
