No, I kill healers plenty, but they shouldn’t be as rough as they are to deal with just seems tedious work.
Healing in PvP hasn’t been balanced since launch, get off your high horse mate.

I will take the bait. Could you please let me know what build you have and why is it spear/ha or ig/bb?
ahh sure the thing that i can read here is that youre not able to focus one with 3ppl 
of to take down the healer. Also i have a question so if healer will be banned from arena can we ban BB&ICE from war? I mean they are heavy have 50% forty like unkillable and the dmg is insane… 
You do that only when other team is way worse then yours.
Healers are issue in 3v3 arenas. They should always be matched vs other team with healer to.
Arena is more more more fun, without a healer (imho).
But this is the game, and nothing to do. Maybe the healers enjoy a lot
It’s not that it’s hard to win, it’s that it’s not fun when everyone’s chasing eachother in circles instead of fighting. It’s more fun when everyone is just trying to kill eachother. The race to burst someone down before they are instantly healed to full is just annoying and not fun gameplay.

I don’t know if this will show you how getting good at playing can become but today in the morning i healed someone while he’s standing on sacred ground for less than 700hp
And I’m running 350 focus
Like comon how hard can u nerf heals
While there are plenty of perks reducing healing none to reduce damage of a opponent and. People still complain
As 3 dps it’s quite easy to kill healer or 1 dps. You burst and kite around if unsuccessful to pot and go back at burst until they do a mistake
This only works if the healer is alone vs 3 enemy players.
Aparently everyone believes that if 3 players focus a healer, the rest of his team will eat popcorn and watch…
We just burst him if he is in roots or cc. Or we stun him and burst his mates inside sacred or if you get low you bite the dps behind the pilar to collapse on him with all you got while he thinks you are dying. There’s healing dampening and diseases! Reduce someone healing by 50% and play safe until healing is less effective and you will see them struggle
You saying “we” makes me believe you play with a premade…
Yea…about that, gl doing it in solo
The only way I can win against healers in soli is to let my team focus their dps while I keep the healer cc’ed. But it’s not an exact science

there is a status that reduce the damage of opponent, its called WEAKEN.
There are bad healers in solo too + bad teammates and you cant do much sometimes but that’s not healing problem. It is cross server arenas problem. If they add that they can add solo que probably. When I que as solo I often talk politely in group chat and we sometimes discuss if we can do something better. Game modes are not always fair same as life and real world. Can you limit a guy who loves keeping people alive to not play arenas ? When our realities face each other you can’t tell someone that he is not allowed to have fun because you are not having fun in the same way. New world it’s designed to have tank dps and healer roles. There’s games without healers
I’m 100% in agreement with everyone who says that healers make it tedious.
If we’ve got a healer and the other side hasn’t, it makes it too easy. If the other side has got a healer and we haven’t then we’re probably not going to win. If both sides have got healers then every round goes ring of fire.
Long story short, healers ruin 3v3 arenas. And I take the point about plagued strikes etc but tbh I don’t want to have to optimise my build and kit for one use-case.

Feelsgoodman to be a healer in arena, I give a little t-bag to the melee pleb once he eventually goes down after chasing me for 5 minutes and a complimentary ‘u mad?’ whisper.
MELEE PLAYERS ONCE AGAIN BTFO’D
You loose maybe 10% overall damage for the arena fight if you get healing reduction perk on your weapon + a higher chance to win. You are not optimising a build for one situation only after all because there’s a different if 3 dps fights 3 dps and their pots heal them for 2k instead of 4K same goes for the regeneration pots. Keep both sets of weapons in your inventory and change them between rounds accordingly. I don’t carrying one thing and wanting it to do everything in the best possible way is desired thing but many feel bored from that without diversity
Sounds like you’re doing all you can to ensure an empty 3v3 que… good luck with that.

There’s weaken that reduces damage output by around 50%.
There’s a kit to buff and debuff damage output and mitigation, but most builds are focused on only delivering raw damage because the meta is 100-0 in 3 seconds or less, many good perks and DoT effects go unnoticed because they either get negated by passives recovery/leeching, or because why bother applying a DoT when you can bust someone in the time it takes to tic 5 times.
In late game healers are useless.
