Pbass, you are speaking pre-nerf. Post nerf, after both the light staff and most perks have been nerfed, it will be much more difficult. Yes, it will be doable in groups of friends, but the average pickup group where the tank struggles with aggro and the DPS simply plays as if they are solo will tip the scales.
shrug don’t know what to tell you then, good luck!
I’m in the same boat, don’t like the changes to Life Staff AT ALL, I think they are balancing the Life Staff around PvP and completely forgetting about PvE and I hate that. I like to do both, and I admit in PvP it is strong but not so much in PvE. So instead I will switch to hybrid healer and pick up the Void Gauntlet when it’s released and stay with my heavy armor 
Not that it’s terrible hard to farm a new set of gear, I’ll work on that on the side while still using my heavy gear.
I’m not buyin it. THis isn’t whineworthy. It’s not anyone’s fault but your own about your schedule. You can still run in heavy you know. The nerf isn’t gonna change things, just make it challenging instead of easy mode.

Healer is op, take it from a full bore healer. It’ll be ok.

Every server is different, but faction armor is kind of a meme. It’s decent for invasions, but you can use that 1-2k gold and probably buy a really good piece of armor off the TP, for much cheaper.
If you’re stuck in low pop limbo, it might be harder to find pieces, but by the time you farm up the gold and faction points, you can just farm your watermark and youll be dropping better armor everyday (Shoot, alot of times you get armor drops with the same perks, but higher GS)
I don’t think balancing the game requires compensation. Just because you plan on using this build for pve it doesn’t mean it was any less broken to fight against. I highly doubt if you played Outpost rush, wars or open world pvp you just changed your gear rather than take advantage of the absolute invincibility that build provided.
By your logic people deserve compensation whenever they nerf something… it’s not gonna happen and it shouldn’t happen. The game has a meta that will change every now and again and just because a build that was absolutely broken is brought down in line (not completely ruined) it doesn’t mean you’ll get compensation for it. That’s my two cents
How do you farm watermark with no gear? Every piece I have is heavy, and no, there isnt much on the market since people have been inflating prices and stocking up for this patch.
Ive played Outpost rush, and I died like everyone else. Sure, it was harder to kill me, but I also did a lot less DPS. I certainly wasnt invincible. Those videos you see of people who are unkillable had all the perks, stacked food, etc. It certainly didnt represent the average heavy healer.

^^ That is correct only one change per set and also the marauder barbarian tokens don’t work if you rep green heads up. Many people and myself have tried to get through to mgmt with no response back at all.

Go with the zergs that hit Myk every hour or so?
Is dps even applicable here? SHouldn’t you be worrying about HPS? As a PVE and PVP healer, I don’t expect to be doing much damage. Mitigating incoming is my job, period. You sound like you still want both tank and healer.
People do spends tons on their armor, when a change happens to the armor I would like to see a 1 time token to change the armor type.
You miss the point, you are not meant to be able to full heal someone every 5-10 seconds, provide them status removals and fortify while also being as tanky as a tank. I didn’t say you were killing other people but for sure the people you were healing were! All that while you were safe and comfy in heavy armour. Healer just like dps is a class that has to be focused down in teamfights but when the healer is arguably harder to kill than the tank that’s just not balanced.

ive found med w/ only 200 focus gets me through all content. as long as you keep the 3 heavy atk buff rolling. @twofeets you should be fine in heavy armor i dont understand the problem, why do you need light armor?
THere will be changes for sure in the nerf, and light gives 30% heal bonus, so there will be incentive to try. Also incentive for tanks to do their job and ranged to stop fucking up the pull. But we can still wear the heavy, and the weakening of our heals isn’t weakening, it’s balancing to make them not op. It’ll be fine. You’ll get the gear, will just take you longer.
Im sad that they changed the life staff I have all light gear and still am upset due to the fact that I really enjoyed playing the life staff before changes and got to be a healer all the way. All my points are in focus and I now have to figure out a weapon to play now.
Just join a group during a chest run. You might be a little squishy becuase of GS but you can hop in a zerg or get good at ninja-ing chest in the mines and myrk
You haven’t even played the changes and already are sure they are unplayable. Cmon fella.
The drama here is like mashed potato thick. Now go play servers are up
