I have been testing shadow priest, and I also have a mage (fire / frost). Healers are basically raid bosses in battlegrounds. I look at my addon and there could be 5-6 people focusing a resto druid (for example) and he will never drop below 50%.
I’ve played a holy priest as a main for years (mostly in raid, but in pvp too). I was disc before they ruined the fun of the spec (maybe its good, but its not fun imo). Priest is probably the weakest of all the healers right now. But I still generally feel like, in random BGs, I don’t die very often. If I feel like that as the worst healer spec, how unkillable do resto druids feel they are?
I would really like them to fix this problem somehow.

Well I don’t think healers are meant to die easily … u put pressure to have them heal themselves instead of healing their DPS so that their DPS die and only then you kill the healers with multiple DPS focusing them

Maybe you should try interrupts?

5-6 dps on any healer and they are going down (eventually…lol)… if not you might want to look around for another healer on the fringe.

Killing a healer with another dps has never been a problem for me. Hell if I land the right cs then I can solo them as well.

Resto druids can in fact die in bgs without 5-6 people but you would have better luck cc’ing the druid and burning down their support.

No one will want to be healer if they flop over if a DPS opens up on them… want to make the problem of lack of healers even worse ?

You basically described disc priest in 8.1.5.
I know and that sucks … but disc seem to swing from one end of the pendulum to the other . All of 8.0, they were walking God’s .
Blizzard balancing. If they’re op gotta make them useless!

Truth. And this describes what happens in a lot of Epic BG’s. Horde is EZ mode.
Not asking them to nerf their heals but if you want to never die they should never do the dps they can do

How do you expect them to do their quests in the world without doing damage … again your suggestions will cause the healer shortage to worsen . It won’t be good for us DPS

You do know they could make it work in pvp only right? pvers would hardly be affected bad excuse also I do want to add healers are meant to you know… heal not dps anyway
If you are trying to kill healers, you just don’t know how to play. You need to silence, stun, sap, cc us. You don’t kill us. People that don’t understand that suffer the consequences. Yesterday in IOC I took out 4 guys at quarry. A hunter, druid, mage and warrior. They tried to kill me. If they chain cc’d me I would have melted. Instead I laughed. Nothing better than mc’ing the warrior off the boat 4 times in a row as I kill his friends and cap quarry
