So, why is it fair to go from 5% to 100% with a single global heal? After your burst, there is no way to out dps an healer. Burst was the only counterplay to healing in 2s, and even 3s, other than waiting for dampening.
For some reason also remove dampening? lol what…
I dont know why it seems like some people in this community dont see how healing, from a video game perspective, is completely bonkers broken?
If someone came from another game and looked at an arena match, see that the health bars never go down except when you use your burst cds, they would think this is some broken private server mess game.
Just tell me why burst healing and even sustain healing is completely okay, but burst DPS is not. Cause there doesnt exist sustain dps, you wont get someone under 99% without using cooldowns.
Actually, if you wanna prove that, go play an arena match but ur not allowed to use burst Cds, see how far u get

Well, why don’t you help us see how it is broken then?

idk the fact that 2 dps in 2s is not viable, and 3 dps in 3s is not viable?
And what makes you think this, Kixwi?

i mean, compared to BFA sure… but why are you comparing it to BFA? look at it from an outside perspective. How is it fair one healer can completely overpower any attempts a dps made to kill someone, by simply pressing one button.
look at random BGs, the one with more healers wins automatically.
Dont tell me “only organized PvP matters” because organized PvP will always work no matter what the meta is… but go ahead and try 3v3 with 3 dps, or RBG with 10 dps… see how that turns out.
you complain that rogue can 1 shot in 4 seconds, but a healer can “1 heal” in literally one global.
TBH, I do think healers are OP in battlegrounds, but this is the arena forum.

battlegrounds, arena, 1v1, 100v100 are all PvP. Tell me why dampening even exists in the first place? another easy point completely proving that healing is way OP.
Exactly, and thats why dampening is there like what you said?
I never compared it to BFA but right now hybrids are outhealing actual healers for whatever reason.

uhm, dunno what you are trying to say exactly, but if healing was actually balanced we wouldn’t need dampening.
I’m saying, since healing was OP, they put dampening in arena, which was the solution you recommended from the start. and I’m saying, you answered your own question basically.
Another is, stop confusing BGs with arenas, they’re completely differently beasts.
lol so then why not start dampening at 70%? but theres also other modes of PvP, and wPvP, dueling, etc. They even took out dampening in 2s, it starts at 0% now… ridiculous.
And BGs are different, but the same principle applies and that is that healers are still OP.
Honestly dampening is no where near enough and its a bandaid fix which doesnt fix much until 20 min into the game.
No offense, but a lot of the answers you seek come from experience. From the way you are speaking, seems like you’re lacking a ton of it ( and I say this in a non-offensive way). There is a reason why 2v2 is a meme bracket now because of how different it is to 3v3. Now imagine comparing 3v3 to a BG.

I’m sorry, do you not see the difference to a healer, not in CC being able to cast a big heal every so often verse a Rogue every minute doing someone’s health pool while completely shutting them down?
Sub is about control and decent burst. Not great control and ridiculous burst.
