They’ll just wake up one day and realise the entire server is just great axe/blunderbuss/ice gauntlet/musket players

I said before and I’ll keep saying it… if AGS wants to push healers into the “they should wear robes” archetype then every other weapon combination should be adjusted accordingly
“Ranged DPS, 10 for damage, 2 for survivability.”
this right here would make any ranged/dex weapon + heavy armor… not viable.
Ranger with heavy armor? nope
Fire mage with heavy armor? nope
That. Exactly.
If a tank holds a point through several ambushes, he’s super skilled.
If a GA/WH bruiser takes out entire groups of people who are less skilled. He’s super skilled and praised.
If a healer gets ambushed by a group of less skilled players and survives, he is “low tier trash abusing mitigation”
Sounds super fair to me.
It doesn’t even need to be said that if they slapped DPS with a -30% damage in heavy, these forums would literally be shooting sparks out of the servers trying to keep up.
I agree that not nerfing it at all would be best, but if they insist on nerfing heals, than it needs to be universal. After all, this is a “classless game”, yet healers seem to be the only “class” that’s being forced into traditional MMPORG roles.
yes…
Not at a decent level.
Lol you can still heal in heavy armor. You will heal less but if you seriously need so much armor because you’re incapable of dodging then you dont have much choice. Medium exists as well. But overall i dont understand why it matters as in pve you have a tank that takes agro 
Then make the same apply to DPS and see how it feels when it’s on the other foot.
I don’t even use heavy armor as a healer and I’m still against this because it’s only effecting one group of people. It’s only pigeonholing one kind of player.

It’s for PvP when healers unwillingly turn into tanks because we get zerged when people notice we’re healing.
I don’t use heavy armor anymore but I do think it’s should be a viable option. The point of having 3 different armor types to choose from is so we can have real build choice and variety. This change will get rid of that. I think Light - 30%, Medium 10-15%, Heavy 0% is a better idea. No need for the change they’re making. It’s too much.
DPS already get no damage bonus when in heavy armor. Also in heavy armor your dodge is a literal step so you lose a lot of mobility. No one uses heavy armor as a dps because of that
That’s currently how it is with Heavy for a healer. The problem is they’re going beyond that and instead of a 0% change to healing with heavy, they’re making it -30% healing, so the total difference from Light to Heavy armor will be a 60% reduction in healing.
Lol dude you can still use heavy armor as a healer you will just heal a bit less. You wont be invincible anymore and that’s the whole point.
Heavy armor healers have never been invincible.
Heavy armor dps arent invincible as they cannot stand still while spam healing themselves. Heavy armor healers currently require 3+ people attacking at once to kill them. It is stupid

They literally are invincible unless a group of people attacks them

But they also aren’t killing you. Or anyone else for that matter.
I still stand by that if there is going to be negative heals for heavy there should also be negative dps for heavy.
Always morons like this one making out that heavy is some form of lack of skill. You’re playing the same 3 button MMO dude.
“I should be allowed solo kill healers”
“Healers should be so shit they can’t even sustain healing on themselves”
“How dare it take a concerted group effort to kill somebody whos sole function is sustaining groups of players”
Do you even play MMOs? Is this your first one? You seem completely clueless. Just butthurt you’re denied kills I guess.
Nah dude instead they just charge onto a group and instagib 10 people by themselves. AOE burst is acceptable to you but burst healing on one player isn’t? Spot the unga.
no. let them nerf it.
