I can feel for anyone who goes down in PvP. But you turn around and start bitching at me, rolling Need for healer gear, tell me how to do my “job” and you’ll turn me into one of those healers who withholds their heals.

On top of that, this isn’t WoW. I can’t just stand there and zing out uber heals. All I have are DoTs and it’s taking time to learn just how much of an effect each DoT has. If I stand around like a WoW priest doing nothing but spamming DoTs, I can only spam baby DoTs. I have to do some dps to crank up my heal rank.

If I could figure out this retarded UI system at least I’d be able and willing to heal those who are not in my party. Unless they bitched at me…

I actually don’t prefer Nordenwatch out of Tier 1. I’m more of a Gates of Ekrund fan… love that place and its LOS tactics.

As for T2, Stone Troll Crossing is rampant fun, Mourkain Temple is “meh”, and Phoenix Gate is basically just Warsong Gulch.

So while in T2 the scenarios get larger… they take a step back in terms of fun in my eyes. The only one that I find a hoot is Stone Troll, but I still play them all. Leveling via mixing in Scenarios with your PvE is VERY efficient, compared to doing one or the other.

I never used the UI either.

I can feel for the tank. Healers really do need to heal in scenarios because it DOES mean the difference between winning or losing. And not just the tanks, keep the DPS alive!

I expect the dominance of Nordenwatch is because everyone wanting to do scenarios goes straight to the Chaos area, as from the off Nordenwatch seemed to pop way more often than the other two scenarios. This has resulted in a viscious circle where even fewer people queue up for the Greenskin and Dark Elf scenarios, but hopefully the situation will reverse as people realise that you can now queue for all three at once.

Oh gawd, you’re kidding… Well, at least it’s not anywhere near as horrible as Warsong Gulch was in WoW but still…

Please tell me Tier 2 and higher Scenarios are bigger and better?

Seriously, Nordenwatch is by far the best, stay there trust me!

Honestly I have never used the scenario party UI. You got me on that one
