Blizzard, in its infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), has effectively kneecapped healing in PvP. Many of us who have devoted ourselves to this crucial role are left scratching our heads and wondering: why? It seems they’ve nuked an already underrepresented role in PvP, making it near impossible to keep our comrades alive on the battlefield.

It’s 20%, you’ll be fine.

I’ve never seen 15dps beat a team with actual healers in AB, this includes right now with the changes being tested
I think I saw 10dps beat a team with a healer in WSG once or twice but it might’ve been retail post flag damage ramp
Healing is still one of the strongest things you can do in PvP

Healing in PvP is dead now, no point.
Full dps teams could easily be done now, healing is a wasted role in BGs now. Heals are too weak to keep up.
they nerfed damage by the same percent they nerfed healing… do the math, it means literally no change, you are just bad im sure

Healing must be balanced because there are those who think healing needs nerfed, and…you.
Glad this no longer concerns me. As many PVP healers, I’ve moved on.
3/10 since I assume you are somewhat serious about this troll post.
You’re only level 19; it might be wise to wait until you have access to the full game. Your opinion might have more merit then.
healing is fine, learn your spacing, learn your role in a teamfight. if you want healing to be really useless we can just remove the damage reduction completely then you’ll never get a chance to even cast.

Healers are still the most valuable role you can play in a bg. We don’t need healers broken overpowered like in retail where they can face tank 3 dps and carry a team of bad players to victory. Go play retail if you want that crap.
Lol yall are wild. “Do the math” is crazy….
During the normal burst meta the buffed dps outdid healing and many healers talked about how they had to sweat to keep up pace without buffed heals.
So now they nerfed dmg and nerfed heals to match it. Which just made it even worse. If anything nerfing dmg and not touching healing would’ve created a better balance.
Not to mention how it also nerfs self sustain classes like affli lock (siphon life, drain life, haunt, etc.) or feral druid (frenzied regen) the second of which is neglected completely in sod to begin with.
If you like the nerfed heals ur probs scared for it to be balanced. Too brainrotted to target healer.
Damage done is reduced by 20 or 30% based on damage type
Healing is reduced by 20%
Effectively damage to healing is the same. Healing is more effective vs magic damage as that is reduced by 30% damage. Then factor in those damaging spells still cost full amount and healers can run casters oom easier.
Engage sock puppet mock rage thread from an individual who struggles reading passed the first sentence of a paragraph!
Here, I’ll highlight the blue post for you which goes to show the chicken little sky is falling absurdity level of this thread.
nah you just suck at healing… the 20% is absolutely needed with the dmg reduction. Without it any healer was invincible last time they did the dmg reduction. It also goes away in a couple hours
The issue lies in a fundamental misunderstanding of mathematics. These numbers cannot be viewed in isolation; it’s not simply 20% and 20%. Rather, these values represent components of variable change within a dynamic environment, particularly in the case of healing, where they are cumulative with other factors, thereby compounding the situation.
Understanding the fundamentals of the Time Value of Money can provide clarity on how inputs interact within these functions and the resultant outputs. In a dynamic environment like this, the compounding effect of damage scaling significantly outweighs that of healing, regardless of any additional casting pushback.
Zachaios, keep reading…
“We look forward to your feedback. Thank you!”
the fix was to nerf mana regen so they would oom and die, not healing, but blizz has hated healers all SoD.
Healing has been great in bgs what are you talking about. ?
