Any healer having fun in SS?

Yeah when I got this - Haste was king.
I recently decided to try get the last 50%, I got the first 53% for the mount the first few weeks of DF-ish. But now I am hard-stuck.

I’ll try get more mastery tho and see if that helps, for sure. Thanks (:dracthyr_love_animated:

PS; I still can’t heal stupid tho, which majority of games causes the loss… Its frustrating to watch people literally stand there and take Aim shot / chaos bolt spam in the face forever.
I soooo want to type “Please hide/LoS” — but I don’t want to type in SS.

complaining on the most broken healer spec, lul

The less you say in shuffle the less are the chances you will get banned by lots of chat abuse reports. If people report you for chat abuse while your chat is disabled then you are safe I believe ^^

You can’t imagine how many people are out there who abuse the report system by mass reporting people they don’t like, or to they lose to…

Healing RSS is not fun. Its can be niche gameplay, for tiny amount of players.
Noobs raging on healers, sometimes feels like Im in some mental institution. Warrior leaps on other side of the map dies and then rage whispers, wishing all the best for next 3 generations.
Unreal button spam, glue your eyes on hp bars, and then try to run after dps .
Dont forget to drink some redbull, for better reactions :d

it solves everything, if u dont type anything in the chat, they cant report u, and the rightclick report wont do anything.

Enjoyment and playing a healer in shuffle are opposites, in this season atleast, but maybe u have with your shaman more success

the current season last for 4-6 Weeks i think.

idk why u say “leaving” if this is the case, i would leave my Feral every day, because i also play a twink

almost everyone has twinks even in pve lol

At least I’m not the only one this happened to, i never try to play healer in ss again, love the fact, that i can leap bash the enemy heal, into clone, and his mates wont stop it.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone who is new to play a healer in solo shuffle, atleast in this season anyway

2s or 3s is way better to heal, than in solo shuffle currently.

u mean me by that?

I don’t do well with the chopping up posts style, so here goes:
I’m never typing in SS, and people can very much still report you by right clicking you and “report for deranking” or “intentionally dying”, etc.

Enjoyment not being in the SS is a massive issue, don’t you think?
And no, so far I have not had fun with my shaman - because I get rofl-stomped without 4 set and people peeling. :stuck_out_tongue:

Leaving in this case means not playing, just because I have alts - does not mean it doesn’t feel like I “left” my main.
I prefer playing my main and gathering everything on my main.
Just because we have alts, doesn’t mean everyone of us - don’t mind - switching.
It’s dumb being told to switch class to attempt to enjoy something, then something is very wrong.

  • Your answer to someone else indicates you never try to play healer in SS, so why are you replying to a “Are you having fun in SS as - HEALER -” topic?
    <_<
    Not saying you aren’t allowed, but that’s like me going to rogues and saying “Nah they are fine”, when I - in fact - play rogue the least out of all classes.

  • In your reply to someone else, you also say you wouldn’t recomend anyone to play healer.
    Do you see how bad that is?
    New people don’t want to play something, especially not a certain role, and hence que times take ages…
    That’s really, really bad.

And to end it off:
No, I didn’t mean you for the “You are crap” part, you have however told me to reroll - with another attitude than the people I was thinking of (not you) when writing that.
So, no. :slight_smile:
I appreciate all your inputs, but it just feels like all of them are moot - nothing really applies to the issue at hand.
Healing in SS is not fun, and we are punished x2 for playing it, while also not getting ANY rewards ever for it unless we streak out against another healer who happens to be horrible.
It’s utterly garbage.

Having sucess on Fistweaver is like having sucess with DH
Its a nobrainer

they can, but it wont do anything, trust me, My job is to analyze algorithms, and the Auto report system from blizz is in some terms on a Walmart level.

Let me explain it to you, if u report someone for abusive chat it wont happen anything BUT if 8-10 Peoples are reporting you (outside of Arena/bg/Instance) it is enough, that a Auto Report System will Mute/Ban You

i think in Solo shuffle it´s already enough that 4-5 Peoples Report You, They even mentioned that the punishments are harder and faster in solo shuffle

BUT if u Report Someone beeing a Bot for example. or Gameplay Sabotage, a Gm will take a Look over, because the Punisment, for this kind of Behavior, is waaay Harder, then for abusing the Chat.

So for example, i could be Mad at you, because u died in shuffle, and i report you, with all of My Friends with the Reason “Game Sabotage” i could Report u with 20 Players, and nothing will Happen, because a Gm takes a look over, and have the Data

in the Worst case, when i abuse this System heavily with my Friends and Report Many Players for Game Sabotage, or for beeing a Bot, My Account gets Flagged, and i can getting banned for it Reason, Exploitation of the reporting system [Happend to one of my Friends btw, he got banned for 7 Days]

So yeah if u do the League of Legends /mute all tech, or if u use the Addon, the Chance that u are getting Banned in solo shuffle for just playing the game is 0.01%

Look at my Solo shuffle stats on Feral, was at 2.2 Mmr in the start of the Season, i got Roasted by everyone lol, i dont want to Know how many Report i got for Game Sabotage LOL and nothing happend

Kinda long wall of text, and this wasnt my Intention, but I want to create clarity, so u wont get banned for playing the game, dont think about it.

People wont peel the Healer until 2k+ Mmr in solo shuffle, this is just the ss healer experience, everyone hates it and i think it will never change that way, u have to Play for the dps as an Healer. (or think for them, while they are zugzug)

Did I mention something else?

u can do that, but if the game, which has massive problems, doesn’t allow it, then you have to think again if you want the reward, and how much you are willing to sacrifice, in this case playing a different twink

To be fair, You are the first person I know who has a problem with it I don’t want to rule out the possibility that you are the only one, with this Problem, and i do Respect that

But the current wow System dont, either in M+ or in Arena, Peoples especially Eu are too Meta driven, and so the System

Meta = easier rewards, higher chance to get into a grp, etc, i think u know what i mean

It’s dumb being told to switch class to attempt to enjoy something, then something is very wrong.

Eh. it´s not dumb when you make a suggestion to someone, if he wants something that he can’t get with the current character

it was just a suggestion, if this doesnt fit in to your gameplay fine, but then don’t act like that anyone didn’t try to help you

i even told u, to take a friend with u, and get it in 2s or 3s With is allot easier, or to play as an Dps in Shuffle (idk is it possible to get the mount in 2s? if not, then 3s)

i think u dont know the Mmr/Rating difference between Heal, and Dps, or do you?

i know the current system for healer isnt good, it´s bad we all know it, but then you have to look for the best possible alternative if u want this mount

Because i have Played Heal in the past Too?

and called clear examples why is it horror to heal in solo shuffle? u even made an example in your post

i think i get what u mean, but i have played Healer in solo shuffle too, not in this Season, because i dont play Solo shuffle in this season in general, i only did to get the 2.1 Enchant

second one, my Heal mate is also complaining about Solo shuffle as an Heal
and he says he has never played such a frustrating game mode like shuffle in ssn3

here an example, why i shouldnt have the knowledge, to know, that stuff like happens, and are also happend to me btw.

Wish i could find the Screen on my desk, where a rnd Orc warri who leaped with 20% hp away from me, and died because of it messaged me, and told me to get a stroke and healers like me are the reason why he dont have fun.

This system is just bad, i SAID i wouldnt recomend anyone, to play healer in SOLO SHUFFLE

but in 2s, or 3s or even Rbg/bg, give it a go, what can stop you, trust me, it have a reason why the ques for solo shuffle as an dd is 20-40 Min long^^ we have close to Zero healer there, Because solo shuffle mmr for Healer is trash^^ and blizz still havent fixed it

I wish this system wouldnt be bad, that i have to say such negative things like this

i mean

i just gave a suggestion to you, how to get the Mount before the season end in 4-6 Weeks, There’s nothing I can do except, to tell you, how to get it easily

and if u dont want to Play dd,´in solo shuffle, the normal Arena are just an easier way to get the mount as a Healer

or beeing a Fistweaver in Solo shuffle i think

[kinda long wall of text, but maybe u know what i mean, and what my actual intention, was/is, sry if u missunderstood, or when u thought, that im toxic too you, I express myself differently, and im also not that good in English^^]

pretty much

Okay so, again, I don’t do the chopping up thing very well, hope my post makes sense anyway:

I understand what you mean, but I also know people mass-report for idiotic things and DO get people banned, eventho they have been innocent (A big example is streamers getting banned via mass-report).
It’s a huge hassle, and it does dampen the will to play too; cause the chance is there - if you for whatever reason get a target on your back, you might get banned for X hours and nobody who pays for anything wants that, and nobody wants the hassle of talking to support either.

Im not saying it’s a big chance, but it happens enough for people to be upset about it frequently - and loudly (forums, reddit, etc)

I know people won’t peel, people are derp. (To put it extremely mildly).
Im adding it as a reason why healing isn’t fun.

You seem to argue for the state of the game, somewhat.
That’s why I ask - “Don’t you think?”

If the game doesn’t allow me to play any class and have fun with it, the game is designed poorly.

I might be the first person, but I am not the only person…
… and my point is still;
If the game is so bad I have to hallway myself into a META / Specific class; it’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

I’ve considered getting the mount plenty of times.
As I mentioned; I am 53% in on it, cause I played in the start of season as SS-healer.
Now it’s just a crapshow, sitting for hours with no progress.

How am I supposed to talk to you about something you’ve actively said against?
You said you don’t play healer – so it’s easy for me to assume that you don’t, without going to off-site to check your links/past/data.
I can only go on what you type here without extra effort, and you had said “I don’t play healer”.
:woman_shrugging:t2:

Game is frustrating, your mate is complaining too, so are my old friends - or tbh; they quit.
They play normal arena more tho, and they still think the game is a crapshow since BFA somewhere, in pvp.

The thing that stops me from doing Arena 2v2/3v3/Rated BG are people:
1 - I need to be social. I currently have a pretty low social battery… :confused:
I have raidlead and guildlead since vanilla times, I got burnt out 100% and stopped leading in SL, and not been able to recover my social activeness at all since then.
I hardly talk to people on my friends list anymore… I am a HORRIBLE friend, right now.
2 - I play at horrible hours cause my boyfriend works nights - so I am also awake in the night…
This does not help with point 1 – since I make friends, and they aren’t online at the same odd hours as me, and then I grow further from them.
3 - I am not a good enough player. I don’t have the rating. I honestly consider myself above average for PvE - but I have issues with my health and end up really draining fast and playing like crap… especially in stressy situations now. PvP is very stressy.
I am a burden.

To end it; As I said -
I am thankful for your suggestions, and I think we speak beside eachother a lot;
essentially I suppose we mean the same thing -
SS is horrible, and all you can do is try put a bandaid on a gaping wound - by playing META speccs / easy roles instead.
The only issue is getting there requires quite a lot of side-legwork… Getting the tier-set for PvP? First doing BGs to get the 476 ilvl pvp gear (green), then get a few off-pieces from conquest. But you still get roflstomped so fast without the extra leg from the better gear, You hardly have time to figure out how to play – especially not when your teammates are picking their nose and letting people pile on you endlessly… :woman_shrugging:t2:

I would play Arena, but yeah - I feel like I have nobody to do it with, and I am a burden. :worm:

Im playing mostly SS as healer, there is some downsides ofc playing as healer in SS, but answering on main question, yes its fun. Fun is main reason of playing computer games :smiley:

Very glad you are having fun with it :dracthyr_love_animated: No clue how, tho, but that is obviously 100% personal!

i consider myself a new healer in ranked Arena,

Imo by experience the more you go up in rating the easier it get.
New player at low rank are hard to carry as healer, however once you are at 1800+ dps play way better and understand how to survive.

The low bracket is just you have to spam hard to get out and more going up more you feel the game are in your control

If you need someone to just spam 2s or 3s with for the mount, I can help you out if you want :slight_smile: I dont play on a daily basis anymore, but shouldnt take long to get it done if you prefer not to shuffle or que with people who rage and get toxic :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot for that offer! I am just unsure if we play at same hours at all. I switch between Day / Night a lot cause of BF working nights, but I have some meetings in the day so sometimes I have to reverse it.
Feel free to add me tho if you do want to play with a noob like myself ^^

I m not a new healer, never been glad too.

I have super fun in pvp by approaching 1.8 rating and then submerging into 0.8 rating with perseverance and patience after almost 3000 rounds.

My aim is to reach 0.4 rating but this is seems very difficult in a strange way I described in another thread.

Nope, havent enjoyed healing or had fun even once since df were launched. Also now to add to my confusion the new “mystery patch” did nothing to address various issues with shuffle nor balancing so healing in retail regards shuffle remains as it is :dracthyr_a1:

No worries, I work shifts myself and got alot of other hobbies I spent more time on, so my gametime is equally random and unstable :slight_smile: i’ll add you once im home
