I mean if that is what you understood from the whole post i am kinda sad.
I just want healers to pve comfortably, especially when leveling.

I mean with LS/VG youā€™re almost invincible. How much more comfortable do you want to be?

just them remove the projectile bouncing off the mob and and prevent the mob move like under meth influence will help it alot. ive still recommend you to learn other role than dps tho, so you can get complete experience

I feel invincible in solo and even small group engagements as a light paladin; sns/ls. Screw vg.

Short of being chain-stunned to death, Iā€™m not dying.

Lifestaff has great potential and is overpowered in the right hands, but then is every weapon. I have seen PLENTY of LS users who absolutely suck with it; if healing gets nerfed any further, itā€™ll be a select few playing the class. Instead, the rapier being balanced would be better, as itā€™s likely the reason that the LS feels so powerful.

Well, the bow is used for huntingā€¦ and Bisons are under the beast type, which is weak against thrust damage.

Since the beginning, I have only played as a healer and donā€™t play PVP! They should stop messing with PvE because of PVP.
If the issue is with the PVP, simply change the PVP!

Healing in PvE IS overkillā€¦ I often both tank AND heal so we can run 4 dps (4dps plus healer but no tank runs are messy in PUGs.)

I typically run 150 to 200 focus unless itā€™s a tougher mutation, like genesis this week, and then I run 250 strength, 250 focus, 5 con in light as a sns/ls. I can toss heals down, switch to sword and tank, and those heals are passively uber strong.

Thatā€™s the difference between someone who is BiS and someone who isnā€™tā€¦ but balancing a weapon around what the best players can do with BiS gear on is stupid.

We still exist, we just donā€™t (or mostly canā€™t) play solo, especially for solo PvE. You donā€™t die, but you canā€™t kill much, and it wonā€™t be fast.

If you pair with skilled DPS, playing healer is fun. They get to go play god, and you get to clear things you canā€™t do so on your own (mainly for loot or access to areas).

U reach 600 GS in about 30-40 expeditions. If those take u 1.000 hours ā€¦

Healing is still fun to me, but it does take forever to pve because you do less than half the damage you would do if you were dps. You can survive and do well enough bit it takes me at least twice as long as run an elite zone as my healer so I usually donā€™t. It would be nice to have something that does more damage and pairs better with the l/s for pve but then healers would be even more powerful so thats just me being selfish. Lol

I do laugh at anyone who complains about the 500-600 grind now, with the last update it seems way too easy, but then I spend a good month or two grinding everything to 600 the old way so Iā€™m biased.

Instead of being the smartass troll you usually try so hard to be you could just post your estimation and contribute to the post for a change.

1 month or two was my knowledge too, he is probably so fresh he doesnt even know how things were.

If we are talking about pve only, the game kind of encourages you to put some points into intelligence for damage numbers.

Using VG as off hand is indeed the answer because the life steal plus damage would be enough to solo enemies, in conjunction with the life staff.

I have done a meme war with 495 focus and have hit targets for around 3.5k but doing that in pve isnt recommend. (Or anywhere serious)

LS/VG has crazy sustain, debuff, empower and life steal. But in pvp most healers would want to focus on healing instead of damage.

In the early months of the game i had no clue of the value ward gear brings and i would suggest getting a set for each enemy type to make life easier.

Just because a few loud people complain about healers doesnt make it reality.

Sorry to say the opinion healers arent important comes from a .5% top player perspective. Its disengenuine at best.

Also, have you seen a bow user clear a horde of mobs faster than mages or bruisers? Different weapons, different strengths.
