The PVP was better medals indepedent the role for things like:

- Make a point in huttball.
- Make a pass that results in a goal.
- Stealing the ball from someone.
- Etc

- Open the door.
- Disarm the bomb.
- Etc.

- Assaulting a base.
- Etc.

First of all, you need to check your reading comprehension "SPECCED FOR DPS" (I even put it in caps for the slow people like yourself).

Second, you're delusional if you think you'll ever see 8 heal specced players in a WZ at the same time. It's just not going to happen.

Thirdly, who the hell said healers didn't put their DMG abilities on their quickbars? How the hell would you play 1v1 World PvP if you got caught with your pants down.

The point was, it's better to heal a DPS than to DPS yourself, for the sake of efficiency and teamwork. If you can't understand that then you might wanna go get that GED.

If I have a spare GCD and someone who is SPECCED FOR DPS isn't topped off, then what do you think is a better use of that GCD? Healing the DPS (my job) or trying to subvert Bioware's medal system by doing 500-1000 DMG on the target?

Guess which one I'm going to do when I'm playing in a premade? The game should be about team work, not about dancing around a system that is specifically unrewarding to a full 1/3rd of the Trinity.
I don't know if you were referring to me, but I don't think healers should be doing DMG to get medals. I think they should be doing DMG to help the team win. Preventing someone from capping an objective or planting a bomb in Voidstar or Alderaan is more important than topping off a DPS nearly 100% of the time, as is killing or stunning an enemy ball carrier in Huttball.

Maybe you play on better teams than I do. Ideally there would be a DPS around to handle those things so I don't have to, but that is often not the case. More often they are chasing down solo kills and completely ignoring the objectives.

I'd like to see ones that include supporting the objective as well.

Here are a few from me:

Huttball
-Protect the ball-carrier from X damage
-Heal the ball-carrier for X amount
-Deal x damage to enemy ball carriers

Then it's your dps that are 'tards. Sure if I have to throw up some DoTs, a Telekinetic Throw, or maybe a stun or something to prevent a guy from capping an objective I'll do that. But if the dps in your warzone have half a brain they'll already be there doing that and you'll be helping them stay alive to do it while other people are beating on them. Each person is doing what they're most effective at and the guy trying to cap the objective goes down fast as does the friend or two that inevitably come to defend him.

Who said I wasn't going to interrupt a cap? Where are we getting all these crazy assumptions from?

Point is interrupting a cap isn't going to get me a 2.5k DMG medal, much less a 5k DMG medal (next to impossible for a healer).

Do you know how much time I have to spend DPSing as an operative to get a 75k DMG medal when I'm heal spec?

I Shoot the guy to interrupt the cast and continue healing. I'm not going to waste my time dancing around for 10 minutes trying to kill someone when I can be healing the guys next to me who'll really lay the pain on the other team.

I regularly carry the ball in huttball as an operative healer and certainly guard doors more often than my DPS party members who are off jumping around in a pack of red names trying to get more medals, while I stand back, heal them, and watch the door, usually while tanking 2-3 DPS who think they have a chance at killing me.
