as told bubble proc on casted heals not melee currently , for cast you need no one set back and interrupting you. If you try to cast front line vs good player you gona be dead especially on destru since pull. pounce, rkd, ,shatter limbs; you do not have any counter exept positioning for this thing on destru side as a dok (kk can kill pet if you dont get pull immidiatly because you are too near). On order the thing is different these 4 stuff are something any wp dont have to worry about.vouzou wrote:Don't forget that DoK/Wp has the survival tools in the form of Bubble tactic to be close healer and with care play they can have it up most of the time.This will let you casting free especially when fighting in somewhere between middle and front line.
Also if you are silenced /KD (3 or even 4 sec) you cant cast and so you cant proc bubble.
Even if you would and survive the whole point of spam heal would be rendered useless by the vicinity of heal debuffing tool so this make rather difficult try to play the dok/wp and go in front and say HIT ME!
My dok is geared def chalice and play towards the front (like a medium front liners) so i know how much is a pain do it on destru while is lol mode on order side . The only real pain is a mara pull on wp which a tank can simple taunt for interrupt and you can walk away.
dok /wp dont have the tool to stay front line with out a guard unless that is fixed the rest need to be work around that fact, since the guard on wp/dok in melee mean he is going dps healer (since heal are based on dmg done) he dont need a essence regen tactic since melee heals regen essence so the while discussion in this point is useless.
