CC and do some AOE. I might not top the charts with medals but I generally get 5-7 a match. Not to mention 1-5 MVP votes. The most important things is making a name for yourself. Regardless of my medals, I get invites nightly to high valor premades and FPs all the time because I have established myself as one of the top healers on my server. Community rewards are much nicer then a few points of valor. Valor 51 and counting.

I have a heal spec sorc friend and it is a STRUGGLE for him to keep the team up AND get 7 medals- usually he gets 5ish and over 400k in heals- Warzones are a TEAM effort and a heal spec has HUGE team role- more often than not they are not keeping ONE guy up it is 3 or 4 AND themself. They also have severe force limitations and if they start attempting to DPS they leave themselves without force for crucial heals. I see no issue with adding medals for 300k and 400k heals etc or some large bracket where you HAVE to do a lot of heals. As an assassin with a good healer in group I can get 9-14 medals in a round and the person on the team that helped me do that gets 5?? Sounds unfair to me? They are in the middle of every battle "fighting" just as hard just without DPS People are saying it might make other combo classes get even more medals, but not if it is a BIG heal amount bracket and even if some other hybrid class happened to pull off an extra medal with these additions it would most likely be by sacrificing a different one they would usually get. A heal spec should be able to get 7 medals in a round and 9 plus if they diversify and throw out some DPS. Our dedicated healers are slowly but surly slipping behind those they support in Valor etc and it is making a lot of people respec. Without healers all of our flash points and PvE gets harder. I admittedly have not done much PvE since hitting 50 but I want to and I don't want to have to spend hours trying to find a rare heal spec.

I agree that needs to be fixed. As a jedi shadow I always get top medals for damage and guarding in combination. Neither category stands out, but together is what gives me the medals.

Yeah the medal system is a joke for healers. You can tell the people saying its fine have never actually played a healer in their lives. There's no point in healing right now unless you're running a premade. As a dps you can easily get 6 medals within like 2 min of the game starting. 5k hit, 2.5k hit, solo kill, killing blow. Find a stray lowbie and that's 4 instant medals. Usually I get those right when the game starts by doing that. Then if you have a rakata medpack you get the guaranteed 2.5k and 5k healing medals. If you're not braindead you'll also get the 75k and 10 enemies killed medals. That's 8 medals that's pretty much 100% guaranteed if you're biochem even if your team is getting rolled and you get them all in the first 5 min of the game. The rest are just gravy but I've never gotten less than 7 medals even if the other team was 3 capping. Now as a healer you have to bust your *** 100% of the game to even reach the 6 medal mark and if your up against a decent team you'll never reach that. Yeah the medal system is totally fine.

They should start by making only healing spells award points for healing in warzones. So no medpacks or any junk like that. They should also make it so Sorcs/Sages can't abuse Noble Sacrifice (not sure how they'd do this). After that any non-specced healer only has two mediocre healing spells they can use to get healing medals, so if they use them in any decent quantity, they're going to be gimping their dps to do so. I would also add that any action not done near an objective gains less points. So you can't just farm damage on people in the middle of a warzone. You can but it would count for much less towards medals than if you were to damage near an objective.

I easily get medals for... 2.5k heal 5k heal 75k heal in a match 300k heal in a match I get those quick, aside from eventually the 300k one. After that I might get... 10 kills (this is from assists and cc) 20 kills (this is one of the rare ones) 1k defender (depends on map) 75k damage (I have been getting this one a lot on voidstar) 3k defender (depends on map) Some people need to learn how to play, but this is what I go after for extra points. But at least I know I will get 5-7.

I will give vote to defenders as well. poor saps sitting at the boring spot, with no action, for the team to win is just as noble as melting face at the larger standoff.

I will second this! I am as of now just level 39, but I usually get 300-400k healing and Still I'm damn frakking happy if I get 4-5 medals! And out of those it's almost always 2-3 from defending a node or getting a killing blow or 10 kills etc! 2 medals for healing while tanks get up to 7 for tanking.. Kinda lame! Give us healers the rewards we deserve! Would like to see those tanks get their 10+ medals without us healing them.. When I queue with friends it's standard that our tanks give me a "thanks for the medal mate" afterwards

And I see alot of players that vote for protection done. Sure tanks deserve MVP's aswell, but that+200% medals just gives them 30+ commendations more than us, fact!
