Healers are way too strong in large scale PvP.

[Rufalus]

Healers should be SUPPORT, with their main strength being their ability to increase the strength and survivability of their allies (you know, that whole 'team-work' thing), not their ability to go frontline and laugh off almost anything short of 1-shot. And if they want healers to be able to survive burst damage, then surely that's what Tanks are for; {Cover} anyone?

That's a really good point. Why are healers better at tanking than tanks. They should be lower defense than they do / take more dmg per hit and need to coordinate with actual tanks to survive being focused by dps. A party with only healers should not be so effective at survival.

And imo melee dps should have defense raised so they are a bit more tanky, otherwise why not just use ranged dps for the huge advantage that fighting from range brings in large-scale pvp compared to the risk of being deep in melee range.
