When i get 6 kills 2 deaths after my partner bails on me vs a thief and a warrior and they call me a noob for healing when they have 1 kill 3 death each...
I am a priest am I not allowed to heal myself via pvp?
If not i think the devs should disable the heals in pvp cause I wont stand getting kicked off games by noobs for doing nothing wrong. But if they would do that no one would play them cause it would be wetaded.
All the noobs out there that whine after I heal, make a healer yourself and try not to heal. I mean W/o the heals the priest wouldnt be a priest, it would just be a unbalanced mage that would die in seconds lol.

Just heal. Seriously. If they're any good, they'd STOP you from healing by cancelling it and beating the crap out of you.
People saying Eir can't heal is like saying Dacy can't use dolls. It's a major part of her moveset, so don't be ashamed to use it.

the thing is you dont need to heal to pvp good in pvp like i never heal and its easy to win. you need to use a and s alot when pvping but most ppl heal if they cant beat you when you heal then they are noobs but just saying that healing is nothign wrong with it but lots of ppl hate it and if you use a and s alot you can sustain your mana for quite a while

Because healing is unfair to other characters. Yes you can't regen mp well you can so that's unfair too. You don't see siegs healing their hp or mp. Healing in team versus team situations like fortress is generally looked down upon since it's unfair. 1vs1, isn't that hard to beat healers. It's mainly if you do it in free for alls.

"you don't see siegs healing" of course you don't, they are the MELEE/TANK person, Dainn is the MAGICIAN, Eir is the Priestess/HEALER
"healing is unfair to other characters" It's not our fault our opponents are idiots that stand around while we heal up, it's their own fault for not trying to actually AVOID our spells, they just run up and think they can spam the A button and win.

Lol. Healing's good against people that don't bother cancelling it.
If you heal, it's simple to just use a skill, cancel it, and u end up wasting MP.
If people complain, tell them to STFU and that it's part of the game.

again; healing is not that bad but, the side effects and how people use it, the most people who heal are also runners... besides, if you playin in a team and your team mate(s) cant get rid of the healer the match takes like 10~15 minutes.. xD that's too long for me

healings ok at 1vs1 or so
but i had some annoying matches like there was a runner, always running and a healer that was spam healing

I could care less. Heal all day, Waste all your MP While giving me time to get into Backstab Position, and then start a combo.
Healing eats HUGE Amounts of MP. And most of your healing spells that heal multiple times over the course of the animation are so long and cost so much MP, that by the time you got your first 192 HP Healed, It's either canceled by someone, or you cancel it to avoid being hit.
In Short: Heal, if they can't stop you, it's not your fault.

If you'd play long enough, you would know eirs could own without healing. Healing is just an extra advantage. I am using my brain, healers are generally easy to take down since they run out of mp fairly quickly and they usually never reach higher levels cause they give up in pvp since they don't have enough skill points. Seriously I think this and spamming is the only thing that annoys me in pvp with all the relatively new players.
Well..
I mean Healing and Dt'ing have been like.. unwritten rules (of what not to do) for like.. ever. But im not going to say that you shouldn't. If you want to heal or anything without being told not to.. Make your own room. As for Eirs in general. They are extremely powerfull. No need to heal anyways.
Oh, and Just for the heads up xD
The only thing people really hate. is if you're a runner..

ooh how about this on
ooooh ur a warrior no dfist cuz its too cheap
wtf...
oh my absolute favorite
NO TRANSFORMS
omg... wow lol...
what do people get limes for in the first place then
of course
there are the more logical arguements
if i cant heal then u cant s charge mana
that makes perfect sense
ultimately
healers SHOULD heal
its not an unwritten rule
its a idiotic forced rule like
declaring war on iraq
or your parents saying
you should do this cuz i said so
so am i supposed to jump off a cliff if u said so?
hell if ur that kind of parent
id happily jump off
so let healers heal
its sorta their NAME

Siegs do heal. They have a buff skill which does so.
Just tell them that:
No 3 wave heal? No nado!
No sunlight? No WW sword.
No self heal? No provoke!
End of story.
Well, that's for 1v1. In that case, I say eirs should heal.
---
As for team PvP, it's a whole different story; let's say only one team has an healer and the situation is like this:
-I'm the only one in my team left.
-The other team has a healer and a siege left.
-The Sieg fights me, and the healer doesn't stop healing and fake resing him.
Is that fair now? no!

Every single argument against healing in pvp (team or 1v1) is either flawed or fallacious.
Guys, the game was made to be played with team dynamics and has powerful potential for amazing pvp BECAUSE of the special utilization of professions.
What seems be lacking in the player base of this game is some educated people who understand how to pvp AS A TEAM, or AS AN INDIVIDUAL. You hear complaints all day long about how "it's not fair this, and not fair that" what isn't fair is having to hear/put up with that crap. So a team with a healer just raped your team because you lack one, and they could heal? DEAL WITH IT. That's the healer's specialty. YES they have good skills for defense and offense! BUT NO that doesn't mean that healing "is just a perk". It's their ability to support their team! you think it's unfair? well then either 1. take out the healer first. 2. get a healer on YOUR team. (having friends and being polite helps here, I know, crazy thought). Guys, it's not rocket science, it's good pvping. learn to utilize your own specialties and stop giving other professions crap about theirs. The only people who make fun of a HEALER for HEALING, are f'ing noobs
.
Okay, so guys, what have we learned today?
1. you're a noob if you believe healers shouldn't be allowed to heal, and furthermore, you're probably a **** pvper if you can't just stop their healing mid way through (wastes tons of their mp, which they have to give up hp to replace)
2. You need to learn to stop complaining, it ruins good, fun, pvping.
3. learn to team pvp! PLAY AS A TEAM IF IT'S A TEAM MATCH, that's the whole point of the system. If you don't like it, then gtfo! you're probably just either too lazy, or too ******ed to learn how to play as a team.

Eirs that do not know how to dodge attacks and only use skills are basically vunerable most the time...... holy spirit for example, if they do not know how to cancel it then you have about 1-2 seconds to attack them. Same with moon pieces, there's NO way to cancel it. And when an eir does heal it just means you're giving them too much room, if you were to chase them around and avoid their attacks, THERE WOULD BE NO OPENING FOR HEALING. If a healer heals then you basically have to blame yourself for letting them do so.
Lets just put it this way.
Yes, Nobody really likes healing thus the creation of the Pvp Eir. No healing needed. Am I sayng that healing shouldnt be done? No, I have a Pve eir myself. I dont heal in Pvp, but thats just me. I also dont like when people heal me. If I lead a room, I dont care if others heal or not. But I want to know that I can win with my own skills.
As for Bans, Yeah, Ive been banned a lot just by entering a room. They yell no Healing, and Kick me. I dont heal >_>. Sometimes, they'll let me in (say in a Team tourny) and before the countdown finishes tell me not to heal. Its just that people feel threatened when you can do something to your advantage. so they want to do anything they can to stop you from doing so. Thats why all classes have been given certain things to combat other classes
Seigs - Magic def etc.
Dainns - Resistance Buffs
Eir - Healing/ Buffs
Tia - Throwing items / Cloaking
Lime - Multi Transformations / Pot spit up
Dacy - Umm.. they just own
All im trying to say is that dont get mad.. Just leave the room. Its all the leaders choice anyays.. Dont make such a big deal out of it.

Other than that...if the room title says a default room name , check if the leader says ok..

Ima PVPer, and i dont use heals, unless they say i can Lolz

This argument all over again....
I even see freaking hypocritical people who write without punctuation marks, incomprehensible word order, and givers of fallacious arguments, etc (who ironically are healers). <_<;;
If you're a healer and you say you "don't heal, run, nor spam" and just combos people to death: STOP BEING HYPOCRITES. Even pro Eir PvP'ers I've seen (even kLunian Eirs) have spamming, running (actually more of dodging), and failed/successful healing moments. SO JUST STOP BEING SELF-RIGHTEOUS B*TCHES WHO ADVOCATE NON-HEALING MARTYRDOM. You're using a support class, FFS. Of course, healing is a spell so might as well USE it.
If you're a healer who admits you heal provided the reasonable circumstances: Kudos to you. BUT if you just run and spam and not even ONE single attempt at comboing (and for FFS, you're effing PvP level 22), then you're just as terrible as those self-righteous hypocrites I've mentioned above.
If you're a non-healer who see the logic and balance of things pertaining to Eir issues in PvP: Thanks for actually thinking it through.
If you're a non-healer who WHINE just because you can't win against a healer: GTFO of Lunia.
But take note: I am not saying that healers should not follow the rules of a PvP room. Ethics. But if you expect a healer to freaking NOT heal BUT you did not state it in your room rules, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT to call him/her names. Whining because the support class can attack and support at the same time IS a crutch to say 'Oh, I'm pro. I own nib healers.'

this problem will never be solved because everyone has their own opinion on how to play in pvp and if its not according to their standards then 'you're a noob'
i might as well flame on this topic..
Personally, idc if a healer heals especially in 1v1 but in team pvp, it can get irritating because you then have to focus on killing the healer first since the healer can heal everyone that you are trying to kill. And usually the healer hates been ganged up on and you would hear things like " NO double teaming!"... while i like to call that "team work".
As people have mentioned if you want 1v1 then do 1v1 but if its team matches then remember that its called "team matches" for a reason. Unless you want the pvp tournament type then do that because its irritating to hear "omg DT!". Ex from other games " halo: if you play 4v4 on a team death match, you cannot complain, 1v1 only! ..omg DT!"
regarding combos: the expectation of combos in a pvp match depends on you and your opponent's skill level but lets assume both the players *any class* want to combo. The expectation is that you don't use/spam certain skills and that you can combo to an extent. Keep in mind that combos are mostly close/mid range.
- Classes like sieg and tia can use most of their skill is due to the fact that they are close ranged class. They have their dis-advantages as well.
- Other classes sometimes do get limited to what skill they can use due to their own advantages
-Dainn is a good example of a class that is made for 'long ranges' but it's expected to do close combat combos, if he uses too many range attacks "spammer!" even then, combos are still possible w/ out using 'certain' skills for ANY class.
- For ex. Dacy is a puppeteer BUT there are Dacys that fight/ combo without puppets. Same way, a healer doesn't need heals to fight a match. And they own.
-------- This was an example of what one may 'expect' from ppl that combo.--------
- BOTTOM line: Its not about how pro you are ,its "what are you expecting from each class?" This will factor into how you want to fight, if you're PICKY then be the room leader and chose who you WANT to play. Don't join rooms then complain because its not what you 'expected'.
calling each other noobs is overrated.

It's depressing when a gaming community starts yelling "noob" for a bonafide way to play the game.
yes, it's annoying to have a healer/mage/etc run, nuke, run, nuke, run, nuke. but guys, you're classifying it incorrectly by calling it spamming, EVERYONE SPAMS TO SOME POINT. there isn't an infinite amount of moves to this game, so obviously repetition, no matter how "good" you are, occurs. However, KITTING, which is what running then nuking repeatedly, while some might look down on it, has ALWAYS been a way to pvp. A person would be an idiot in a REAL (yes boys and girls, I'm talking about the real world now) fight, to not use movement and repetition to win. Maneuvering is part of war, fighting, and pvp.
If you can't beat someone who runs, nukes, runs, nukes. it's not a lack on their part, or a problem in "Game etiquette" it's you being a weak pvper. Banning people from rooms because of kitting or healing is poor sportsmanship on your behalf, and making "rules" about how someone else has to play, is also poor sportsmanship on your behalf.

Umm, I disagree completely. There's a clear difference between spamming, comboing, running and dodging.
I don't think you can penalize someone for not bothering to do their best in a PVP match against a spammer. When I'm up against a spammer, I hardly ever bother with too many combos. I'll just spam them to death.

Well, for example: In a team tourney pvp with 2 Eirs. 1 runs off and heals, the second has 3 options, go and attack the other, do nothing, or heal themself. As an Eir, I always heal myself. This obviously, make the match last longer and the result would probably be the same as if the other didn't heal.

So, what you, and other people who agree with you, are arguing is that it's unethical to heal in a PVP because it makes the PVP last longer?
obviously you must not be pvping for the fun of it, or you would like the game to last longer.
and if you aren't playing for the fun of it, why are you playing game? In my opinion a great pvp round is when the other team CAN make a drastic come back and win. I like having my skills tested, and when I'm not playing on my eir, I love it when other teams/eirs do a great job. IT'S FUN.
