I’ve just come back to the game, and see that blitz has launched. I’d like to play with my duo, so i’m considering learning to play a healer, (probably Hpal or Rsham)
I’d just like to get some perspective on how you guys view the game rn, and maybe suggestions on healers
every healer is solid/viable but if you wanna solo carry games you need to go pres or mw because of how broken their mobility is in a bg setting.
I see, Would you rather have a lizard healer, or a monk?
depends on the map and the mmr. Both are S tier and i would say dragon is better when played to maximum potential however dragon is alot higher skillfloor/cap so most pres evokers aren’t going to be as good as your average mw.
Yeah pevoker and mw monks are just untouchable and the last one got a nerf and they are still pretty annoying to deal in any bg.
Sounds like MW is the way then. Thats fine, too bad HPal isnt mobile T_T
Hpall is a STRONG healer at healing, but not viable for flag carrying and its mobility is lacking in a BG setting. The game is full of active and passive snares and slows so it is helpful in a BG to have above average movement. Steed is a CC magnet, and so is Wings, and Blessing of Freedom is spellstealable and dispellable, and if you BoP anyone I’ll remove it with an instant cast Tranquilizing Shot before it serves any purpose.
Yeah…pres and mw are broken. The thing about mw is that it has two buttons you can spam heal with and top charts so it’s a joke spec. If you want to be frustrated and annoyed every game play disc or hpal
Healers go back to being immortal soon.
They already kinda are.
healers are so critical that if dps play well and healers dont you lose, if healers play well and dps dont, you win. Get one healer that doesnt know the bg, you lose. Get 2 healers that know exactly where they should be, you win.
I find that hard to believe, given the damage i’m seeing from players.
A lot of big dam is getting nerfed.
Like what, for example? I’m very out of the loop atm
imagine in a bg like Eots where two 4v4s happen. One team has good split, healer plus 3 dps, in both. and one has 2 healers 2 dps, and 4 split.
the 1 heal 3 dps will wipe the floor of the 4 dps squad. SO healers knowing where they need to be in some bgs is a win/lose thing that the other players have no say in.
I know how impactful healers have been in the past. I’m of the firm belief healers win games.
Doing a random bg with no healers vs just one is miserable, god forbid they have more than one.
You would think, but this hasn’t been my personal experience. It has been a nightmare trying to get above 50% win rate on my healer even at low MMR. Both my dps characters have 60% win rate with more games played. I feel powerless as a healer. All I can do is keep my team alive but if they are bad there is no hope.
Heals is best because queues are fast, hope this helps
