So instead of being able to heal all of the Beatles, you can only heal John, George, and Paul.
Good. Ringo can bring his own *** heals to the fight or he can just get the *** off.
There was nothing wrong with BoL the way it was. The nerf was to appease a small subset (the 1vX players) of PvP players and does not represent a positive change for the rest of the community.
I personally have a hard enough time healing dungeons with BoL as is (with a full maxed out healer with best is slot gear). I'm told I am a good healer but I assure you I find it to be a struggle at times. With this BoL nerf I cant imagine being a decent healer, makes me not even want to try to be honest.
If this nerf makes it to live, finding a healer for dungeons will become more difficult than it already is. Less healers = less players doing dungeons = less players in the end. That is the way i see it anyway.
ZOS you guy really need to reevaluate your priorities and think about the health of the game instead of some small subset that just want an easier time to kill people in cyrodil.

Tbh my baby(as in inexperienced) temp healer had no issues healing all ingame dungeons, including vICP and WGT, with just BoL. And most of that was at v9-v12 even in v16 dungeons(did all but WGT/ICP without battle leveling then). With right magicka management I could spam BoL literally ENDLESSLY. No need to slot other heals. I mean buffs, off dps, that's all good, but just to keep group up? Just spam BoL. Not enough? Spam it more.
That challenge. Perhaps now we'll actually have to think about our healing
Also, why is everyone jumping PvP people for this? This appears like a general PvE balance change to me. It seems they're trying to make sure all classes can heal(somewhat equally). I'm not sure they went the best way about it, but there's no reason to jump the good old "PvP-ers ruined our PvE again/PvE-ers ruined our PvP again" bandwagon.
A nerf to BoL might not be that awful in terms of overall game balance, I dunno though, it's still a major nerf to the class and I'd say templars need some major love to compensate for that.

Lol - so a discussion where were talking about groups with numbers outlasting people and slamming heals is terrible gameplay is calling for nerfs to templars.
The next quote is a troll post so - maybe ZOS read that troll post and took it to the drawing board.
If you really think they did the things I suggested stam sorc would actually have had changes in the last few patches and AOE caps would have some change. Stop whining.
Lol, Someone is salty they got caught lying. You should have stayed quiet. Now people who didn't even know who you were before this just think you're full of BS.

I wont argue that there are better healers in this game than me but i also know there are far worse ones. Taking away BoL as it is will reduce the pool of viable end game dungeon healers in the game. I don't think that can be debated. Less available healers, which are already in short supply, is going to hurt the game.
Can anyone reference a video of someone healing as a templar in v16 wgt or any of the new dungeons without having Bol slotted?

To be fair, there is no direct equivalent to BoL on a DK Healer, yet nothing is really spammed unless it's a Trial.
Your point? Templar was always meant to be a healer, Dk was not. The fact they are even comparable now just shows how far Templars have been hammered into the ground.

They want to stop templar healers spamming BOL? Now its going to be worse, because they are going to be spamming harder just to get that extra target thats taking damage.
Yet sorcs get a 30k damage shield in one move, and can turn on overload and pull 40k dps with light attacks.. clicking one mouse button. Yea and templars are the one that need nerfs.

sooo heal through trees and rocks ok? just not through castle walls?

It is so annoying trying to kill another player who is getting healed in the most effective way at that time and place. I mean, how rude.
I also find it intensely annoying when somebody fights back. Don't they know how many anonymous noobs should just lay down at my passing?
It is nice to see a self effacing Templar though, really puts the icing on it.
Spamming BoL near your teammates (even if they're not in your group and you can't particularly see them) -/through walls/gates/doors/rocks etc. Is brainless though.
Maybe it's because I came from WoW (before it turned bad) where healing kinda took skill; in high-rated PvP especially, now some may disagree because you could literally spam-heal on WoW, but... at least (as healers) we had to use more than 1 button to be an effective healer, plus LoS made it skillful.
Not every Templar prefers to be a dedicated group healer/zerg healer.
I don't think you see what I mean.
He still won't be about to 1 v 2 templars. But yes, the guy is a terrible voice for the community and the game would definitely be in a better place without his complaining, at least he'll no longer be able to exploit the Kena set, I guess it'll be back to WB spamming for that sorc....
@FENGRUSH
I don't blame you for the change to BOL, I blame the devs. You didn't ask for a two target heal, you asked for the direct 100% strength heal portion to be nerfed.
"They should probably address heals that cover entire health bars and are instant.
It is that way - that is why BoL/healing needs to be revisited. Healing should not outdo damage."
However, I do absolutely believe the devs decided to nerf us again due to PVP players complaining about not being able to burst people down when a healer is around. You are part of this crowd and as such I do think you influenced their decision. It's not fair to directly correlate the change to you however.
It does suck though that BOL is nerfed so hard but the cost is the same. HtD will be my go to from now on.
P.S. I still do not agree with you that a DPS should be able to out scale a healer 1:1.

you have a gross misunderstanding of this games class / skill design.
Hand_Bacon wrote: »The whole "play the way you want" has been totally misunderstood.
Sure, play your class the way you want, but don't expect to be the best at everything at all times. Its pretty clear that classes were meant to have strengths which differentiate themselves.
Sure, you can fill any role, but don't expect to fill it as well as x class. Damn people, make choices and live with them.
Lets just take away all class skill lines and passives. Give us weapon and armor lines only, and no racial passives. Let us choose classes for....wait for it..."reasons".
This is the cookie cutter argument when someone suggests to add something to the Tamplars, i.e. mobility, elusiveness, hard hitting DPS, immobilizing stunlocking CC, hard hitting AoEs or stealth.

Not judging people who do it, just saying... it's brainless. Why don't you try asking ZOS why they want to nerf BoL anyway?
Because they don't even know why.

For me its not outdoing people that are CC breaking and buffing keeping things going on their end too. If someone is spent, laying on the ground, take that templar for example in the video shown. If that templar was AFK, and me and another were trying to kill, we wouldnt have killed that templar who was AFK in the bathroom taking a dump because you just cant burst it. And alone? Not even the slightest chance. Why cant you kill a player thats AFK due solely to healing? Pretty much the first patch this has happened. Before healing was a SUPPLEMENT to survival, you had to do things on your end too. Healing outdoing DPS is pretty questionable. Its literally saying you should be able to keep people AFK alive.
