Return of Reckoning

Also, not all DPS are melee and not all healers are ranged. So that logic is flawed as well.
The melee healers are considered non-viable in RvR because they are such a focus they can't get into melee effectively.




Ranged DPS still has significantly less range than healers.

And Shield WP/DoK ...

You're looking at the events backwards.
Healers stack defenses because they are the focus, they aren't focused because of it.




I stack defenses because due to its poor scaling I have no reason to invest in willpower. I get all that survivability essentially for free.

This has nothing to do ...

Not being focused by 20 people while 6 of of them grab them into the air.




But, again, if you make this argument from a healer perspective you would have to admit that DPS have it way worse, because A. DPS is not as tanky, and B. they are closer to the fight and have to take more risk to ...

I can't imagine being even more squishy while getting grabbed from across the field and focused down while have my healing debuffed.




This cannot be an argument, since healers are tankier than DPS, and DPS will consistently need to take more risk and be closer to the fight to fulfill their ...

The tradeoff, if executed skillfully, results in significantly increased damage and circumstances that can only be described as unfair when compared to ranged healers. However, you'd be aware of this if you had experience in small-scale PvP . It's worth noting that we typically don't match up ...

It's challenging to observe the turmoil unfolding due to your contribution to this forum post, Caduceus. Your understanding of balance appears to lack the depth of experience needed to fully grasp the intricacies of RoR, particularly in the context of small-scale PvP. Allow me to address this in ...

Here is the thing- they do, as someone having a zealot I can guarantee you that zealot with will converted to intel doesn't heals all that much. Its that RoR is a pvp game, so the tactic of having the tanks holding the agro while healers go full glass cannon heal just doesn't works- for some ...

It's clear that scenarios/6v6 is a big part of the balance picture for the RoR devs, so obviously it should be part of the conversation. If your stance is that RvR should be the only consideration that's fine, but that's not the stance of the devs.

Everything I said about healers in the scenario ...

When talking about the tankiness of healers, I suppose we should specify whether we're talking about scenarios/6v6 or RvR/24v24.

In large-scale fights, I would not argue healers are too tanky, since the damage potential there is way higher. But then again, positioning is the primary means of ...

Everything begins and ends with proper rewards for what you want people to engage in.

Unfortunately, for as long as I can remember these devs have had a negative reinforcement mindset. They seem more preoccupied by the pipedream of a system that cannot be abused than making the game fun and ...
