3 medals for 524k healing ~~ nice medal system BW

My feeling is this is working as intended. They want to punish the Healbot style. If you're doing 513k healing and getting 3 medals, you are not playing a Star Wars game. You are playing whack-a-mole with green bars and doing nothing else.

The thing is, this isn't WoW. Healers deal damage here. Hell, simply by using Death from Above on my Bounty Hunter whenever it's off cooldown, I can deal 75k damage in a warfront. I usually always get a killing blow or two as well, as there's almost always a right time and a wrong time to heal.

If you outnumber a guy 2 to 1, you probably shouldn't be standing there, healing the guy. You should be helping him kill the other guy, then after he's dead, you can top him off. You don't help him kill the enemy faster and suddenly, 2 reinforcements come. Now, the original guy gets healed and it's suddenly 2v3, when if you'd stopped looking at the green bars and spent some time looking at the red ones, you could have helped your friend score that critical kill to make it 2v2 when those new guys arrive.

Again, this isn't WoW. As a Healer, YOU DEAL DAMAGE. It's not as bursty or powerful as a dedicated DPS, but you're also not doing 4x less than him by any stretch. In fact, you're probably doing well more than half his damage.

So what i need to do spit on teammates or spit on medals?

That's the reward for playing objectively in huttball as a healer^^^

So while I keep the tanks up who get 100+ commendations per game I'm lucky to get 60-70...

When is this going to be fixed? The fact the medals hasn't been fixed yet is pathetic BW.

Am so sick of these crap doing extra work maybe twice as much as dps + tank to get comms yet people who we heal show this kind of attitude.

You act like healing takes some kind of special skill, the only skill difference is that there are less of you.

The fact of the matter is the very large majority of healers don't even look at the screen or other players, they just look at the raid bars and use heals on anyone and everyone not at full hp.

Because it's easy. Reward healers for doing things other than making shiny numbers

Dps is so much easier, calm and enjoyable, not to mention rewarding. Nothing like to focus on yourself and the enemy infront of you instead of having to focus on yourself, your team and where the enemy is placed.

Good luck!
