"There could be medals awarding extra commendation for healing someone below 20%."

oh god, so many will die because healers want to hit this specific medal

anyways, another thing, i think its sage, somehow they can damage themself and then heal.. i just saw one doing this today, he spammed damage on himself then topped himself and repeat.... hurray medals are hard to earn.

In the end, if you really want the medals, aim them instead of complaining not getting medals, random wz is random wz, aslong as your grinding, grinde, when your fully geared, start having fun doing the healing you want to.

as a dps its exactly the same, i have to tag alot be very active and heal myself to gain more than the 4+medals.

Full Sawbones spec. Laying down lots of dots and AoEing large groups of enemies adds up. And like I said, this is in a win under good conditions. In games where we get face rolled by premades who are smart enough to target me, the numbers are FAR lower.

To OP as Seer healer i average 240k - 320k healing in most rounds and get 6 -7 medels, maybe have a look at your style of play, your doing something wrong.

this is why i hate healers like you, whiney losers who expect things to be handed to them just because they're playing a less popular role...PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT AND YOU'LL GET MORE OUT OF HEALING THAN JUST SPAMMING HEALS

And I can tell you right now that ppl dying quickly when they are stupid is much more fun than when after 15 minutes of fighting you score 2 kills as the best dps from your team.

PvE strong healer in PvP = impossible to balance in all areas. You get pugs vs premades where without healers the pug would have a chance at killing at least some ppl, but with healers it's just futile effort. You get pugs vs pugs with uncontrolled number of healers so sometimes instead of pvp you get dance party where nobody can dps through the green spamming.
What is the point you are trying to make on the Subject OP brought up?

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.

you might be the worst player ever.

You get more medals for filling multiple roles.

The tank may get more medals, but he is doing two things at once: Guarding damage and dealing damage.

You should be getting the same number of medals as any other pure DPS if you are not bad. If you are that desperate to make yourself look good and earn those trivial amount of commendations, then throw out some DoTs or aoe to stop caps or aid in focusing a target.

I hope you guys play imp, because you should be cc'ing, aoeing and watching health bars.

I play Sage, and i'm throwing rocks left and right.
I dps as a healer, but only if there is enough time to do so, in some WZ's we face really tough competition, which means that there isnt a single second to dps, the only thing i can do then is to stun a target and then return to heal, or my teammates die.

I dunno what you mean by AoE'ing, it seems pretty stupid to be channeling an aoe damage spell while my team is dying, but i guess i would get more medals by letting my teammates die O_o

If i get a break, ill dps the current target, but that does not happen all to often, not to mention getting targeted as soon as they see that you are a healer(happens more and more now that players are getting more used to PvP)

More ignorant people posting, gotta love it. It isn't a trivial amount of commendations. I average 5-7 medals, the tanks and tank AC dps average 10-12. That results in them getting about 20-40% more commendations and valor, thus a much faster gear and valor grind.

Trivial, right?
