DaoC is supposed to be an RvR game right?

Why in the flippin heck is the following healer ability still not working in RvR? As a solo healer it is disgusting that after this ability being out for over a year Mythic hasn't even once given it a second look. A few years ago when I was trying to bring the Healer DPS into the spotlight this was a step in the right direction to finally allow me and my fellow solo Healers a chance to maybe compete, but you took it away from us by not allowing it to work in rvr, not allowing it to work against guards, pets or charmed monsters.

EVERY single class in the game except the healer has a decent dps spec they can go. The healer is the only class in the game that is purely support.

Please take a look at this ability and allow us healers to use it in RvR, it's unfair to us healers that we have the only PvE-Only ability in the game.

ive seen solo healer take out rr10 champs who blow all their toys, that eader chanter chick, and a whole lot of other classes that they " shouldnt " beat


adapt or play a different class.

yea with a defensive heal proc going in I think your ship has sailed..

Probably bad players, and definitely a bad player in that Chanter.

not saying skill wasn't a factor, but that proves that soloing on a healer isn't impossible depending on ones skill~

I agree that it was a bad decision to give healers a PvE-only ability, but I do not think the lifedrain proc is a good solution for RvR.

Imho, there should be more to the dps of a melee healer than just stick + auto-attack. It would be cool if there were more tactical aspects involved. Take the damage shield as an example. There could be different kinds of damage shields suitable for different situations, but they should either have drawbacks or short durations/cooldowns. The same goes for the offensive melee proc. There could be different variations suitable for different situations.

However, there is one thing that makes the melee healer a little tricky to balance (from a developer point of view). They do not have a specialization line that is dedicated to offensive abilities, which means that any dps boost given to the melee healer will also be available to (many) group healers.

Bards have a decent dps spec?

Paladin have a decent dps spec?

Bm have a "decent" dps spec?

PS, don't mess with that heal proc lifetap spell at all.
