I think we need 2 more debuffs, Major and minor healing done reduction. They should be 30% for Major and 15% for minor.

I don't have a strong opinion on this except that Health-scaling heals should NOT be a thing for any class.

"Yadda yadda what about PvE tanks?" someone will say. Well, that's what actual healers are for.

That is dead on correct.

Personally I think:

1. damage skills should scale from weapon / spell damage only.
2. Healing skills should scale from max magicka / stamina only.
3. Defensive skills, shields and block mitigation should scale from max health only.

Players complain about both health scaling and wpn dmg+max stamina/magicka scaling heals, why do we assume that max stamina/magicka scaling heals wouldnt have the same problem. And block mitigation doesnt scale at all and there is no reason to change that. Block tanks often have 40-50k hp anyway and already can stack block mitigation increases and get much higher block mitigation with lower costs than average PvP players, they dont need additional advantage by making it scale with health. High hp players already have to react slower and block less to not get oneshoted, they shouldnt get better defense for reacting slowly (but still in time).
Low hp players have to react faster and block more to not get oneshot, they shouldnt also receive more dmg when they do and still get killed and not rewarded for reacting fast.
This changes would be a step to enforce role specialisation in PvP and exclude solo players and everyone not member of an organized group with role specialisation from PvP.

They need to undo the link between health and healing and shield sizes. The game needs to go back to being based on max Magicka or Stamina. They did this so tanks can just self heal and keep themselves alive but it breaks all the balance in PvP.

Players don't even put points in Magicka or Stamina for PvP any more, it all goes into health and just stack weapon/spell damage.

Before cp rework and race passive rework when „game being based on max Magicka or Stamina“ Max Stamina/Magicka was an important dmg stat much better than crit dmg and crit chance and (almost) as good as wpn dmg. There were already Health based heals and normal heals already scaled with Max(Stam or Magicka)+wpn/spell dmg.
Nowadays after max magicka/stamina doesnt get increased by 20% from cp and up to 12% from race It is one of the worst stats and players choose almost every other stat over it. They put not only attribute points in health insteat of magicka/stamina to trade magicka/stamina for hp but also use orzargas smoked bear hunch/juwels of misrule insteat of betwitchet sugar skulls to trade mag/stam for mag/stam regen and infused insteat of robust/arkan to trade mag/stam for wpn dmg. To make mag/stam stacking viable again, it should get a 20-40% increase again insteat of making it the only stat for healing to scale.

We already got a new set that reduces healing of target by up to 35% this update and havent seen itsfull impact now, with additional healing debuffs zerglings could almost completely disable healing of the players they zerg down and prevent them from outhealing even low dmg.
Theoretically a healing done debuff is missing, because there are healing done(mending) and healing received(vitality) buffs but only a healing received debuff(defile), but this would have to be 16% for major and 8% for minor to keep balance between buffs and debuffs.
But all flat healing debuffs hit players with OP healing and players with average or lower healing the same. And one reason for current tank meta also are u35 nerfs to most dmg skills, despite nerfs to healing skills I stalemated many players i could kill before. Most of U35 should get reverted.
