Really? Ok, disregarding biochem (the example below is me):
as a healer I get 3 medals (2,5k, 75k, 300k).
as a DPS I get 7 medals (blow, 10 kills, 2.5k heal, 75k dmg, 300k dmg, 25 kills, solo kill).

The difference is 4/3 which equals to 133%.
If you cant get the killing blow as a healer you are not playing to close to your potential, and playing extremely passive. Its PvP, not PvE, you are not supposed to JUST healbot an entire game. My friend always gets the 75k dmg, killing blow and 10 kills atleast, playing a sage. The biggest difference here will be the 25 kills that I will certainly always get, and he most probably wont. The solo kill is bugged to sh*t and i rarely ever get that one, get it about as often as he does.

So the difference isnt alot at all.

That is totally scenario dependand. Perhaps on Alderaan. Not really on Voidstar, when tanks, thanks to their awesome defensive abilities and insane AoE dmg, can dish out way more than an assassin. I've seen a tank hit people for 6k+ with AoE. Hit 4 people 13 times and tyvm. That's not really a problem on Voidstar, right? Or around the turrets on Alderaan.

I dont think I have ever seen a tank above 300k, whilst I get it pretty much every single game, and so does an Assassin, whilst spamming taunt on CD for the defensive point.

You made this thread to get pats on the back from people, and to talk about how favored tanks are, don't kid yourself.

Go play another role, since you "clearly have never played my role"
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

All im saying is that my friend that heals me in BG's never has any issues with getting medals.
As I stated earlier, in solo queue it will be harder getting medals as a healer because you simply do not have a good DPS to support you, which will make it harder for you to attain the medals, definately. And for this sake you should most probably play a DPS for solo queue if you only play for medals.

The difference in medals between me and my healer friend really is not that much, and he really does not see it as an issue at all.

I single handedly got every objective in voidstar and only got three medals. The medals encourage people to play poorly. We won, but the morons spamming their aes got the mvp points because people don't pay attention to what's actually going on.

He must like being screwed I guess. I Q with the same tank/dps most of the time. Earlier in a fairly quick huttball where I did most of the ball running I ended with 2 medals. Both of them got 7-8. That's balance right?

Now it certainly wasn't a hard game so I hate basing how medals should be given on it, but in a 4 minute match they both got 7+ medals. It isn't possible for a healer to get 7 medals in 4 minutes.

Yup. That's the whole point of this thread. Objective gameplay results in less gear/valor, but as a healer the difference is even more noticeable.

Exactly why they need to add objective medals, not healer medals.

So they add objective medals and tank ACs just go from 12 to 15 medals? If they took away a lot of the current medals and added in objective medals I'd completely agree.

When I heal (Sorcerer), I usually get a KB in with Shock, wait till 5% or less and it's all good.

Also, shouldn't you be getting the 10 kills, 25 kills medals?

I can most times get the solo kill and KB medal by bumrushing into a group of enemies and hitting the guy at 10% after a battle. If it happens it happens, if not, no assassin medal.

If/when I hit the 300k healing medal, I usually hard-stop healing and go for the 75k damage medal.

So yeah, I think BW doesn't want your "healbot" spam.

Also, people usually +MVP the green names they see when healed =)
