    Rival Wings needs some Serious rework.

    Playing a Melee DPS is suicide. Not only because all the Mechs have mid range attacks (wich hit almost every time even if you run out the first second you see it) but also because everybody and his Mom focus you.

    Healers are Gods. The know it. So they go out alone, seeking 1v3's and spamming emotes while 3 people are not able to kill them wich leads to no Heal in the bigger Fights. The Picture in the end looks like this: all DPS are dead, Healers are spread around the entire map, being the only ones alive while running from /fighting 2-4 people.

    Those are only 2 Problems of a bunch and im Sure SE is aware of them. Its probably time to implement specific Nerfs Again only for large scale PvP. (Like they did with potencys and stuff in 3.X)

    Healers Attacks should have a Cooldown. Its just to OP being able to survive 3 People and even kill them after a while or, remove the potency completely and make them CC only (slow, root). This way, Healers would focus on healing again. They will still be immortal in 1v1 though...

    For MeleeDPS i have no idea how to fix it. Maybe they need bigger potencys to even out the handicap of being the ones who get hit by everything. But at the moment, the worst you can do for yourself and the Team, is playing a Monk, DRG etc.

    I honestly think healers base heals should be as expensive and as potent as a double vercure, 5k potency for 1500 MP. That probably would help a bit, since it would be about strategic use of OGCDs and less overall sustain. Maybe melee DPS in general should have a long cooldown version of hallowed ground (5 sec duration, 5 min or longer recovery) to give closing ability. Its tough to balance though.

    Melees used to have an ability that made them immune to CC skills for a bit called Fetter Ward in 3.x PvP. . .

    You want suicide? Try jumping in an Oppressor. I really doubt that melees get a deal as raw as those clockwork tin cans.

    Healers cannot kill things on their own. Period. If I kill a dragoon because they were dopey enough to stay around long enough for me to bring their HP to zero on my own, then they should be ashamed of themselves, because the potency of Broil is fairly pathetic.

    The advantage I have is that I can hold a generator or push lanes far more effectively than a DPS can, since I can survive while either broiling people trying to cap (if they would time their captures then it wouldn't work, but the times I've had to solo generator guard duty can be counted on one hand, and people don't learn), or heal Viking mammets to build up my forces.

    Playing a healer is like playing a brick wall. You're going to take a lot of effort kill, but you aren't going to enjoy the experience.

    I only think melee should run faster or have their bolt cooldown reduced, I can see them being useful in the feast, but its not happening in 24-72man.

    Fetter Ward: Initial cooldown 2 minutes. Initial duration, 9 seconds. Can be traited twice to be 90 sec and 12 secs, respectively. Most stun cooldowns; 30 seconds.

    It also didn't shield against damage, so you could still be melted as you closed in and fought. Against BJ or many CC's, it would have done you no good, and the fact that everyone had cc would do a lot of harm, since you can just stun or bind someone to be hit with the sword attack or flamethrower. I don't think it would have been a good trade.

    I think WHM and AST need their Bind and Heavy status also removed.. Nothing is more annoying than having an AST jump out of nowhere and bind you while on a mount and start spamming their Malefic on you.

    Melees dps left alone against a chaser or brute can be quite effective. Especially when they have LBs to use.
