Healers of forum, how many of you are thinking in quitting healing after this changes?

My goal is to have 50str - 50 dex - 250 foc - con. I play hatchet berserk tree and a mix of orb, beacon and sacred without ultimate ability.

I think this changes are unfair for healers, I started a new ton as rapier + ice gauntlet and it is much more easy and fun to play in PVE… Neither tried on PVP, but I played a lot of outpost rush and now I have an idea of my class performance…

I feel these changes unfair and probably leave playing my main char and continue with the second one…

So if you think life staff is op for a video, where people doesn´t know how to play, you should try to play life staff which was nerfed since beta…

I open this topic to see if there is more people who thinks like me, because all I read is people complaining about how much op is the healer… Most of them using great axe/hammer…

I think the problem with the LS is exactly when you go for 50str, 250foc and con.

That’s the unkillable Monk with GA and heavy armor that can kill you.

I’ll still have the same build 250focus and the rest con. No STR, No DEX, because I’m a healer.

I’m not quitting at all. Just because one nerf cycle targets a play style I chose doesn’t mean I’m going to throw a tantrum. All i have to do is slightly adjust how I play. I may no longer be able to mindlessly face tank every single enemy I face, but that is probably for the better. Yall gotta stop the “DON’T TOUCH THE WEAPONS I USE OR I WILL QUIT” threats. You are either lying or were never going to stick around anyways.

I’m a healer and I am not quitting! I love this game, the healing nerfs suck but healing was a little overtuned.

I am spamming outpust rush and feel that my stuff is not overpowered… Also got a pm saying to not call me healer because my 400 heal in sacred ground is bad…

I am not quitting game, but thinking in quitting life staff…

Propably many ppl expecting mmorpg not moba and pvp focused game, at least looter shooter. I dontk think that NW has the chance with DOTA or League Of Legends anyway. GL pvp millenials. :smiley:

i dont know… but do you have 0 kills in outpost… because we dont use hammer and great axe? :smiley:

I am not a lifestaff player, but i have seen lifestaff/warhammer players who were literally tanki g 7-10 enemies at once. I believe this is a bit too much, don’t you think?

Thats because of heavy armor not the healing staff

The Devs need to stop listening to the hardcore PvPrs. Amazon themselves released a statement back in 2020 that this game was a PvP PvE balance and that if you wanted a hardcore PvP game this may not be the game for you. New World just took a hard turn away from a PvP slugfest, and hardcore PvPers are not happy | Massively Overpowered

As to heals, heals are not overpowered, expeditions are already challenging. Its when people stack food types, fortify sacred ground, blessed, etc that they become overpowered in PvP, so look into that, but dont run PvE because of a few whiney Call of Duty types.

Tanks die immediatly without heals. But a healing tank? Oh boy you need the whole sqaud to take him down.

Just a question?

Have you actually been on the PTR to TEST the change?

Because LifeStaff is fine…

The healing changes don’t address fundamental issues with heavy armour in PvP and the failed light/medium armor additive bonuses - also he isn’t saying he’s quitting the game but the build, which if you look at the PTR thread, a lot of healers will be doing.

Calm down the hyperbole and be a bit politer next time.

Lifestaff is fine on live, other than a few PvP scenarios. Quit nerfing others because you want to be able to 3 shot them.

pve will be fine. People are nowhere near playing to the best of their ability, and I don’t just mean healers.

Still gonna keep healing but probably on and off with the game, since it’s tiring to get your favorite weapon get dumped on every single patch. (Stuck on a dead server as well.)

Thinking about those players who used us in every single expedition just so they can finish their quests and now wanting to nerf us. Ungrateful bastards.
