new counter skills

Sankt

I wish they'd implement a few counter skills for all classes - i.e. a debuff that triggers damage when a target tries to heal/shield etc.

No. Healing debuffs are the counters to heavy healing builds and those should be enough. If they would add such hard counters like you propose they would basically remove healing from pvp. Everyone would take the damage on heal skills and everyone would avoid taking heals. Even having a bad anti-healing set equivalent to Shield Breaker would be ridiculous.

Healing is ridiculously broken in this game... Dots are never going to be viable in pvp because people can burst heal themselfs with almost spending any magicka (or stamina), the only way to kill people in the game is with huge burst dmg. I've been playing MMOs since 2003 and this is the first one with this healing mechanic...

I think the burst heal mechanic was intended for pve because almost every boss can 1 shot people at end game, but when it comes to pvp, Devs didnt knew how to balance it, so they just leave it like that...
