The Problem isnt the Life Staff. The Problem is the Armor. lol
This is true, but most life staff users won’t switch to light or medium armour due the fact it costs 50 stamina to dodge each time. As well as the hard stamina consumption when blocking with a life staff.
Personally I’d adjust the armour passives where Life staff healing is reduced by 20% for heavy armour use and stamina consumption on dodging is 40 rather than 50.
Before you so eagerly start nerfing everyrhing you see into the ground, wait for devs to FIX light armor healing passives, and fix overabused heavy armor resiliance and gem resistance bug, that currently every pvper happily abuses. Than, and only than we can talk about changes and nerfs.

Didnt the gems get fixed in todays patch? (I’ll find out in a moment as I’m a Life staff user myself)
Even if gems got fixed, theres still resiliance left. Without it fixed, noone can make judgement on value of heals. Besides, heavy armor will be tuned, AS rep already admitted in one of countless “nerf healing” topics, that theyre not happy with perks of heavy armor overshadowing other armor classes.
Run laz with a healer that’s not fully specd for it let me know how it goes.
If he was so overpowered why didn’t he kill you in seconds?
Agreed. Life staff as a whole needs its healing toned down a lot. In turn they can then re-allow field stacking as before. With the overall healing output significantly reduced, then this wouldn’t be so extreme.
Oh and healing needs to level up mastery. It made some sense for damage back in the preview last year when the life staff had the life siphon tree abilities for use as a damage weapon. But with the staff completely reworked as it is to be a fairly strict heal item, it doesn’t work anymore.
I don’t have the video of my buddy and I fighting a 60 life staff user while i was 59 and he was 60 but I can tell you with my hammer/sword and his spear we couldn’t cc the guy enough and dps the guy down past 90% health before he dominated us even while he was in light gear. You clearly do not pvp in this game at all against life staff users or you only pvp as a life staff user if you are this clueless about how broken healers are in this game…also remember that he can range attack you with ZERO consequences. Healers don’t use mana or ammo to attack you and they can stay near full health. I honestly don’t even know why people who don’t pvp even come here to comment on this.
Everything in this Game is broken… PLease NeRf EvErYtHiNg … OH gosh i can’T even read more shit in this stoopid Forum… They should put down this Game and workaround like 2 more Years. I’m tired.
You can’t even play any weapon. Each freaking weapon has Bugs/ExpLOitZ’ or anything. You can’t even wear your own pants because u get 3000 Strenght and Consti and able to finish each mob with your Fists… Doooood
- 2 DPS vs 1 healer should win, IT IS NOT OKAY for healers to 1v10 and not die.
- Tanks shouldn’t be able to catch mobile DPS without using stuns or CC. Movement speed buff is broken
- DPS light armor buff 20% damage needs to be fixed and possibly increased.
- Tanks should not win 1v5 against DPS, they should be able to last longer in fights (absorb lots of damage). They shouldn’t be able to hit as hard as a DPS like wtf.
- DPS need 3 i-frame rolls not 2, med and heavy have 3, makes no sense, i-frames + blocking = OP af
- In order to institute the changes with heavy armor damage vs light armor damage, players using G-axe or warhammer should get a debuff on damage or higher CD on skills etc. Heavy armor should make u slower, as your role is to defend, not plow through the enemies lines like a fighter jet.
- As mentioned, the roles attack, defend, and support are so unbalanced rn. A tank should not be able to 4-5k crit me as a DPS, I cant even crit that high. with max stat gear.
A healers job is to heal and stay alive. Have you played PvP without healers or with a bad healer? Do you not notice how you get saved by the healers on multiple occasions? Clearly not, asking to tone down healers means you will not get healed as much. The idea that healers should be able to heal others well and not oneself is absurd and childish. A healers duty is to keep everyone alive including himself/herself/themselves.
Have you played life staff to 20?
Reading comments like these = face palm
As usual, DPS always thinks the other roles are easy and as simple as using your abilities on cooldowns.
Play the other role then provide objective criticism instead of assuming all the other roles do not require any skills to play.
Can you help me find a game where an healer can hold out vs multiple glass cannon players ?

That there is your problem. Can you remind me please, how many players are in wars? Can you tell me the limit of players in open world PvP.
May I kindly ask what is your build? What weapons are you using? Please do not tell me musket/bow/rapier glass cannon.
I have a field day against 5-10 left click spammers. Why? because I am not an NPC. I can dodge, I can see what abilities they have used, I can react to what ability they are using, I know how to dodge these abilities, I haven’t played as a healer since I got dial up mindlessly and never learned anything.
I EASILY die against a GA or mage that knows what to do and how to counter my abilities. What are you saying about surviving against multiple glass cannons? I cant outheal 2-3 glass cannons that know what to do.
Please tell me what you are doing?
if you take a look at the damage you did through-out the fight and compared it to your health(no worries i did it for you)
Duel 1: You did a total of 19,026 in the time it took the lifestaff user to do your entire health bar.
Duel 2: You did a total of 64,158 in the time it took the lifestaff user to do your entire health bar.
If you analyse the differences between duel 1 and duel 2 your damage increase put so much pressure on the healer that they had no choice but to heal most of the fight, However you look at it closer the healer is stuck in lifestaff to heal themselves so they are dealing damage with the lifestaff. Now look at the damage you take from the lifestaff, It is legitimately nothing compared to the 2k+ crits you are doing.
What is the duels shown everyone? Simple Lifestaffs are weak, All they can do is heal. Their chance of actually beating anyone in open world PvP outside of duels is 0%. The only way a lifestaff user can win a 1v1 is if the other user stays around for to long.
Dueling using house rules should not be how this games balance should be determined.
If i am not mistaken that was a lifestaff user in Light armor no? This player would be dead if they were say on the point in wars or outpost rush. They would die nearly instantly. I totally disagree with you saying they are to strong in PvP when the reality is if you had of used potions you would of ended up in a draw in all 3 fights. This is because lifestaffs are weak in terms of DPS. They would need at the very least a 5x damage increase minimum if they nerfed our heals.
Did heavy GAXE/hatchrt. Did heavy GAXE/WH. Did medium GAXE/hatchet. And now I am medium LS/Gaxe. Never felt stronger
I now believe strongly that LS needs a buff ! I swapped teams xD
what about this one: leave healing power as it is BUT decrease the amount of dmg that life staff can do to something like 0? or 50 max and 100 on the mobs
That would be a HELL of a nerf. I crit sometimes for 2k xD. That would be reducing my damage in 95%
No…no, you’re a troll. I saw your disingenuous comments on another thread regarding this topic.
No troll intented I just swapped teams. Somewhere along the line I did say I would always play meta until I found a preferred playstyle. Which is what I did. I went medium LS/Gaxe and got top 3 on outpost with lvl 7 LS :). I am happy but it could be stronger. So I am all up for LS buffs.
