Return of Reckoning

wots wrote:as far as fixing wp/dok to be melee healers, no one seems to have mentioned the elephant in the room. any reasonably competent tank will kill/neutralise a melee healer with interrupts in the current state of game. the old aoe heal was nice, but divine assault/rend soul is very easy to halt so if you are looking at a rework, i would suggest this will be an issue with making them viable as their most effective st heal is so unlikely to land

Before the launch, WP/DoK were intended to have healing abilities which proc on hit (so theoretically melee WP/DoK should be able to heal while being engaged in melee) and some anti CC. This concept was later used in Wrath of Heroes for character named Conrad and it worked pretty well against AoE casters.

As you mentioned there is no place for the chanelled and/or summoned abilities in the frontline, so I fear an eventual melee healer would require not only to change one mastery tree but also to rework / change some existing abilities and mechanics.

So I would like to share how I'm doing with my dps wp. I really don't think it's a waste in a sc. In the end it's all about player's preferences and I don't think I would enjoy healing with book. I have RP as proper healer after all. But make your own decision.
Edit: Of course there are bad scs too, you can't choose your teammates everytime, but I don't think it's entirely because of me.

I see a lot of #2.

That's embarrassing.

For what it's worth I was doing just fine melee in T1. I queued in T2 at level 12 and got stomped so hard though. But it was us at 12-20 versus them at all 20s. Scared me into ORvR to get my bearings.

Might be that a T2 Melee WP will struggle in a 12v12 premades match, but I suspect it'd still be viable in the more chaotic, less organized pug match at the very least. I know that's not where you want to balance the game for, but if Perefall can do it, I've got hope!

As a destro player I strongly encourage the usage of dps WP. Throw away that useless book and come feed us! Do not hesitate ! SIgmar will allow you to be a martyr and enter valhalla if you die with a 2H weapon in hand. Good deal.

sorry but that screenshots only prove how bad you are you have mostly same deaths tand kills, i dont think its good score in scenario im angry if i have more then 2 deaths in one scenario with 5 deaths and 3 DBs i will delete my charakter and not post it on forum how OP im

Ok, I confess I have habit of running headfirst into battle, but that's not problem of the rotation. Sometimes I don't get enough heals, am outnumbered or ambushed while deffending BO and I definatelly can't have all the DB. **** happens. I still manage to support my team and kill enemies and in the end it's what matters.

No guard you die no pocket you die ! Persefall / Fairyflowers / Joiec and more you cant survive when you got 2 or 3 hard dps on your face ! I agree you do some nice dmg but it's just because destro are not focus you .

Who would NOT die if focused by 2 or more dps? tank..

Or dps wp with the right spec.
