Is this correct ?

<p>I just rolled a mystic cause I wanted an endgame healer with a shot at raiding and began using BG's to lvl and save tokens for lvl 90 . Began pvpin inthe 50,s and immediately it became apparent that the wards do not apply to relic damage , or am I trippin  and just not paying close enough attention ? So for this game a warder is half a toon ? Or has this been addressed allready and being fixed ?</p>

<p>Wards do not apply to relic damage.</p>

<p>yup, relic does focus damage and wards don't prevent focus damage, so they don't help when you: take a hit from the relic, a necro lifeburns, get hit with focus based AEs (some scripted AEs) in SF, etc</p>

<p>Yes I have gone from the 50,s to now lvl 79 and the disparity between my heals and a wardens I watched grow as I lvled till now the same guy out heals me 2-3 times my amount , hard to get off a spell makes it no better . I figure that will change at 90 . I guess thats a wrap though huh ?  Not gonna change ... like to heal in BG's roll a warden eh ?</p>

<p>I am one of the best healers in BG. I don't lose a Gears match often at all on my healer.  The only time I have any trouble at all is when I run out of power, or when my tank is a t@rd.  One trick, if you can swing it, is to make the person with the LOWEST HP in your group the relic holder.  The relic damage is percentage based.</p><p>In the end, healing the relic holder is such a small portion of the BG experience that it just doesn't matter.</p>

<p>Warden's have Heals-over-time, Mystics have Wards.. A Warden is going to out heal you in BG if he or she has the relic.</p><p>Kindred spirit is your friend if you want wards to "heal" :p</p>
