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

at lvl 30 i can get off 3-4k heals.....so how badly do you suck?

I play a 50 merc BH with full champ and never have healed for 5k but get over 300k healing all the time.can you post a vid of a bh merc healing for 4k at lvl 30? i dout it.

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.

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.

your all saying you want more medals for doing nothing but healing....ok so they add more. now the ppl that play the system for what it is just got more medals to go after and you get to come back and whine about it some more

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.

Then it's your dps that are 'tards.

Well I already offered suggestions to that end a few pages back, so I'll just quote myself:

I play a Scoundrel so I know exactly what you are saying. I generally get both the 2.5k medal and the 75k medal from a few well placed airstrikes. But, I don't do the airstrikes to get the medals (which I could generally give a rats *** about), but because when there are 5 enemies gathered in a tight cluster around an objective, that airstrike keeps them from capturing the objective for a few seconds, and mitigates a ton of damage as well because it makes it that much quicker and easier for my teammates to clean up a bunch of enemies at low health.

In a typical win in Voidstar or Alderaan (never mind Huttball as it's a whole different deal), I'm generally somewhere between 250-350k healing and 150-250k damage, and I get plenty of 'great heals' comments.

Granted if I was on better teams (I queue solo on Republic side) my heal number would likely go up some and damage down a bit. The point I was making is that I am not trying to score medals in any way, it's just a natural result of doing what I have to. Like I said, I could care less about medals as commendations are virtually worthless for getting gear from what I have experienced.

I've done 831k healing, 156k dps, and 12 deathblows on my Sage and only received 7 medals. IMO shield needs to count as protection for healers

While a DPS guardian/jug can do 300ish dps some protection and gain 10 medals
