quick heads up if your gonna que BG’s please target the healers as priority, they are massively over tuned in BG’s with no dampening and constant buffs because atm BG’s are won and lost by people derping into HP bars that don’t move please just stop pressing buttons for 2 secs and find the correct target thankyou gentlemen and gentleladies

Yes, hit the tank heals. Let us taunt you with our healing.
Ignore the DPS freecasting and annihilating your team. Good, very good

A better heads up is having some critical thinking skills and changing targets when needed. Sometimes you target healer and other times you target DPS.
If you’re a hunter anything in leather and cloth can be one shot. So you don’t need to be that picky.

I get what you’re saying but in reality with the current state of BG’s and healers, nothing dies until the healer is down even 1 half decent healer can keep 6-8 people completely topping off even with CD’s getting popped left and right…as soon as me or someone else types in chat to tunnel the healers we end up winning the game 90% of the time even so it clearly works and is the best we can hope for in the zerg fest that is BG’s XD
This strat works great against bad teams but ignoring enemy freecasting DPS while you hit into the tankiest role in the game is just bad play
There is a time and place to kill healers, it exists don’t get me wrong. But the people who spam instance chat “focus heals” are really only good in the easy games. As soon as the game gets hard their one and only flawless strat developed in 2004 that can never fail…fails
As a healer, the easy games are the ones where a bunch of mediocre dps dogpile me while my DPS go wild. The hard games are where they shut down my dps by focusing them and CC me into the ground
That being said, I’ll tunnel a bad healer all day. If they don’t know how to survive…dogpile them

you just explained every single random BG ever played my dude, in rated you are 100% correct but in randoms tunneling the healers is the only play to make and you can’t sync CC because it all just overlaps and we DR each other you legit have no choice but to sit on the healers in randoms unfortunately
There are easy and hard games in randoms just like there are easy and hard games in rated. Randoms are not inherently easy and filled with bad players because they’re randoms, there are tons of good players who play randoms
If your main goal is to win all as many easy games but never be able to compete in the medium/hard games then yes, it is very good advice to tell others that the only viable strat that exists in this game is to focus healers
there may be some good players in random BG’s but you’re not getting my point the very nature of randoms atm is chaotic with the endless CC, cleave, super high burst, over tuned healing it’s hard to get even half the team to coordinate but a simple strat like sitting on the healers works 90% of the time and is easy for anybody to do they don’t even need to worry about CC or anything else just click on healer and press buttons and it works granted not ALL the time but as a starting point for people in BG’s it works well majority of the time
I understand what you’re saying, I’m just disagreeing. Im a random BG healer, people CC me like crazy all the time. I’ve played far, far more games than you have, as both damage and healer. It isn’t unreasonable to expect players to be halfway decent in randoms and not just zug heals
This makes no sense. If both teams just zug heals, how could both teams win 90% of the time
the thing is most people don’t and the team that does wins a vast majority of the time I can watch the momentum shift immediately as soon and everyone tunnels the healers through the course of the game and man I’ve played hundreds if not thousands of BG’s since vanilla across every xpac i understand the game very well I’m simply laying out a simple straight forward strat that anybody can do that works a lot of the time…like all things are based on the rule not the exception, yes other things work and should be implemented in a perfect world(or game) but unfortunately in practice that’s not how it works. Healers are massively over tuned in BG’s that’s just an objective fact, so we have to play around that rule for the most part
Everyone is familiar with zug heals, this isn’t a new strat. It is the most widely used and overused strat in PvP. What I’m explaining is that if you’re ever sitting there in a hard game and going…why is nobody attacking the healer? Then the issue is likely that you’re attacking the healer
CC heals, kill squishy dps/pumpers is a proper strat
Zug heals because it works against bad players is not a proper strat

I’m not saying its new I’m just saying it’s the strat that works the most now since blizz juiced up healers massively in DF and you can’t CC heals in BG’s most of the time because if everyone does then we just DR each other and the healer gets to free cast non stop…this isn’t arena you can chain CC effectively to secure a kill most of the time
This is just false. Go play a healer and come back to me with that same comment so we can discuss
BGs right now are literally just spam CC at everything until it’s dead. Everyone has so much CC and too much CC isn’t DRing. You sure you’re playing BGs right now?
lol this is a thread made by the only dps in the entire world…of Warcraft that can’t shutdown a healer
your entitled to your opinion as am I so agree to disagree friend
Go ahead and tell your team to zerg healers. Then think about what their damage dealers are accomplishing in that time.
While we’re at it, lets go beat on a blood dk for an hour

a blood DK isn’t keeping his whole teams HP topped off indefinitely…
Neither are healers when they’re CCed
