Bow/Wand healing nerf is rough

[Chillsabre]

I have been playing Bow / Wand combo since release as a healer.

Healing had been easy but a bit chaotic in this game. Now with the CD nerf to healing touch / Healing light, its become near impossible to heal people during boss fights. Anyone who misses a mechanic and doesnt go to the ground heal applied around the tank better go to it because I cannot heal the tank and someone who took damage they shouldn't.

In the easier dungeon and non PvP, not really an issue but with the new 2 star dungeons and PvP, its impossible to heal anyone who isnt the tank now.

Either you just push HoT or you do spot heals but cannot do both and it sucks so bad not to mention the healing values seems to a have considerably dropped making healing light, even with the 3rd use, impossible to heal a single person to full anymore.

I would retrain to a different combo but this game is so bad to allow this that I might as well erase my character and restart anew.

If it was just that... Did u saw the buff on the staff right? They have 2 skills(AoE) that apply different debufs that cut healing in 80% so, when they apply both skills(AoE) u get 160% healing reduction, and for u to get rid of that debuffs u need 3 dispels or more depending on the amount of debuff, Good luck playing as healer now on!

Dude....it's 5 seconds and both require long casts. Bow/Wand players are doing FINE. The healing is still insane and now healing touch stacks with other players. It's not the end of the world.

Bow/Wand player are doing FINE! I'm crying bro 🤣 yes large scale is fine but small scale like Arena we're fk and can't stand a chance. Not to mention new dungeon tier 2. Yes, we can focus heal on tank but DPS will drop like flies...

i never used this two healing speels in combination. Sometimes i only use healing light 2x and the blue healing circle. Nothing more.

Now with T2 Dungeons i use healing light 3x, blue heal circle and shielding. Perfectly fine. You dont need so much healing speels. If a group need so much healing, than they fail way to often. Its not your job to correct skill issues.

The healing nerf overall was far too much. I was fine with them doing some tweaking but they literally just killed it instead. Do what I did, stop playing totally or just stop healing entirely. LEt them see their game die and make the other players actually understand how important healing was. It wasnt broken we had a role of support and to be tough to kill but we couldnt kill anyone else for that trade off. But the DPS whiners got their way.

and as a tank that is what I call a skill issue if they drop, should have the dpses focus more on survivability than damage so they stop dying in dungeons

I just feel like we are getting the short end of the stick here. Koreans got to do 2 star dungeons without the healing nerf and we get the nerf and the 2 star at the same time.

As for DPS focusing on survivability, its really rough because the bosses of these new dungeons pretty much require near perfect execution or you die and any surviving a blow who isnt a tank will be near death and now even with the 3 healing light, it doesnt fill them up.

Not to mention if I do healing light, the tank is likely dying unless I have the ground bow heal off cooldown.

I maxed the buff duration and cool down reduction and 5 seconds CD for touch & Light sharing is so rough.

the ttk in the game right now is really low, ppl die in 2 seconds in a mid/large scale fight, even in small scale if they get heavy attacked, 5 sconds is alot LOL

They should never have pushed that nerf on us until we had Tier 2 and Res Stones ect. At our stage that nerf is too much. Even on Korea its too much. Theyve killed the game here now with that change. More worryingly for me is how quick they make sweeping drastic changes without even testing it. huge red flag for me for future development and highlights a lack of real thought on their part in the first place anyway.
