The game was designed around these trinity team setups, and it follows that a healer has to be able to reasonably keep up with 2 damage dealers and a tank from the enemy team. But, if you think about it for a moment, it's not unreasonable at all to be like this. It is an ever returning complaint that healers, in general, are capable of achieving higher numbers than damage dealers in PvP, something often considered to make them overpowered. Only Sorcerers, Operatives and Mercenaries have healing disciplines. While you can take some proactive measures as a healer, this role is mostly reactive: you have to heal whoever's taking damage. Every advanced class can be a damage dealer.Īs a healer you will be focusing on restoring the health of your allies. You will have good damage, but limited survivability. The job of a damage dealer (also called DPS for reasons beyond my understanding) is to kill stuff. This role is limited to Assassins, Juggernauts and Powertechs. Unlike healing, taking is always proactive, which makes it quite hard to play properly. A good tank can easily turn a minor defeat into a glorious victory, but PvP tanking is more of an art than just a job, and beginners are probably better off playing damage dealers or even healers first to gain some experience and see how tanking works. Tanking is all about protecting your allies from damage and is probably the hardest of all roles to perform properly, especially in PvP.
