    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.

    Um, any damage to you while mounted is going to limp you. Soooo.....

    Also you can always ignore the healer. While yes I can take down a dps as a healer it is quite cumbersome to do so. I would be better off gathering CE or escorting mammets.

    All the while preventing enemy DPS from gathering CE at that spot, because to do so they'd first have to fight you over it and automatically lose due to "Healer-balance"™. They have to surrender the resources to the enemy team or die, both of which put their team at a disadvantage.
    If the DPS tries to push mammets instead and there's a healer there, they'll also lose that exchange by default with a similar effect. That's because a DPS loses any exchange against a healer by default because healers are broken.
    Where do you think those fights against healers happen in the first place? In the middle of the desert? No, at the objectives of course, because those have been put in to make players fight over them. Working as intended - until healers enter the scene.

    Thus, "Just ignore the healer" is like saying "Just ignore the objectives", because the healers are guarding (and gathering) said objectives. I'm sure that'll turn out reaaally well.

    Truthfully, though, even if you don't heed that advice and try to put up a fight instead of flat surrendering to the overwhelming power of healers, you'll be at a disadvantage anyway. You basically need 2-3 non-healers for every healer at the absolute least, but both teams have the same amount of players, so the team with more healers can assault or hold more overall resources with the same amount of people or the same amount of resources with less people. Either way, you're screwed and need to pray the enemy is terrible and thus unable to use their advantages (mammet farming or player fighting Oppressors say hi).

    "Balanced"™.

    If I am escorting mammets then they should go around me and kill them off closer to where they spawn. Or a DPS could just go attack the tower. Why face off a healer where they are at when there are ways to go around them. If I am at Blue tower escorting mammets, killing off the mammets before they get to me is a heck of a lot more effective than trying to distract me or fight the ones I am healing. Sure the ones I escorted do damage but they also implode and then I have to wait for the freshly spawned ones to reach me.
