Any opportunity to make healers suffer seems to have been taken.

Is it so hard to have 2 ppl slot it and coordinate?

Yes fair enough you could have 2 people running barrier (assuming they are smart enough not to override each other which I doubt) because of something that is(or atleast zos think it is) a problem in pvp they make a change that negatively effects pve,

so if they worked properly and 2 people casting covered the full raid you've also lost an ultimate out of your group, instead of having 1 person running barrier you need 2, so what do we lose? The war horn? Maybe some other damage ultimates? Oh what's that you could need 2 barriers in one fight? That's 4 out of 12 ultimates taken up already,

Just like the Stam rejen nerf of course you can work around it and adapt but why should we have to? Barrier has never been a problem is pve so why is it being nerfed there?

Put these kinda changes into the battle spirit, it can't be that hard to do considering the amount of a damage shield you get is halved in pvp I assume they could half the numbers it covers in that same passive? Just make the standard barrier 12 people and 6 in pvp

Alliance War > Support skill = PvP ?
Why should they even consider any impact it has on PvE ?
Should the fact you chose to use it in PvE dictate how it functions ?

All changes should take into account pvp and pve as long as those abilities function in those areas. Suggesting otherwise is just silliness.

uh...are you sure? I think you missed some things here. like...


for Dragonknights:

• Magma Shell (Magma Armor morph):
  • This morph no longer grants a synergy to allies for a powerful damage shield; instead, it automatically applies the damage shield on nearby allies when the ability is used.
    Increased the radius of the shield application to 8 meters from 5 meters.

• Sea of Flames (Inferno morph): This morph has been renamed to Cauterize, and will now summon an Aura of Cauterizing Flames, launching a fireball at an ally to heal them instead of an enemy to damage them.

• Molten Weapons: This ability and its morphs now applies a 30 second Major Sorcery buff for you and nearby allies.

• Obsidian Shard (Stonefist morph): Increased the healing from this morph by 16%.

for Sorcerers:

• Summon Twilight Matriarch (Summon Winged Twilight morph):
  • This pet’s special ability will now cause it to heal itself and up to 2 friendly targets for 20% of your maximum Magicka.
  • This pet no longer siphons her health to you if you fall below 35% Health, due to the active ability changes for Summon Winged Twilight described below.
• Summon Winged Twilight:
  • This ability and its morphs are no longer toggle abilities; instead, they are now normal casted abilities. The first activation will summon your pet, and when morphed, the second activation will cast the pet’s special ability.
  • Note that the pet will still be desummoned if you switch ability bars without slotting it.
  • Decreased the cost to summon a pet from this ability and its morphs by 50%.
  • Increased the cast time to summon the pet to 1.5 seconds from 1.3 seconds.
  • The pet summoned by this ability and its morphs now heals itself for 3% of its maximum Health every two seconds.

for Nightblades:

• Soul Siphon (Soul Shred morph): This morph now heals and applies the Major Vitality buff to yourself as well as your allies.

there's probably a LOT more I've missed, but these seem like very nice changes for healers across the board, and nice steps towards making healing viable for every class.
