Clearly you havent played a class that can put guard on a target. In a huttball match i have gotten 2k in one life, 10k in one life and the 5k protection medal in a matter of seconds when i would put guard on the ball carrier and the other team just trys to burn him down.

OK. So don't take this the wrong way. I play a Sage too.

1. You lost.
2. The heals are high but it looks like voidstar and teams that get stuck early on on the blast doors (2 taken by the look of it) tend to be stalemates where people pump out the heals.
3. You did very low damage and kills. Does it occur to you that in full champion gear you could help the dps to kill the other team also.
4. Overall low team dps is the usual cause of high heal numbers at voidstar. The dps team can't take out the other team fast enough to break through and blow the doors!

Yes, healers probably deserve one more medal but your example is a poor one.

Also, I would advise using PS to blackout your player ID from future screen postings.
May the farce be with you

While I generally agree that the probably needs to be some more healing medals, I do have to say though that pumping out some more dmg would probably help your team more, and gain you more medals. Instant casts, some DoTs occasional AoE into a pile, will help take down other people quicker, although it might cause you to get less healing done, it helps your team more. Throw a bubble and a HoT and buy yourself some time to switch from exclusive healing and pitch in some dmg. IMO it's harder to not get 10 kills while not even trying than it is to get them. Even completely specced for healing. There's an extra medal, and probably a killing blow tossed in there, so that's 2. 75k dmg shouldn't be an issue either. That's 6 medals right there.

I'll take more medals if what I'm doing means I'll have less to heal and helps my team win. As a healer, I'm more than happy to forgo the "glory" and play support, but support isn't just heal heal heal. I'll take helping take down someone faster rather than obsessively healing someone while they attempt to do it. Would you be upset about medals if you did 75k dmg had 10 kills, killing blow and only healed 800k, but you won?

Guard is a passive ability, and taunts are a maximum of one global cooldown every 15 seconds, or 1 every 30-45 seconds for AoE. That argument is totally asinine.

No, it wouldn't. If there is even a scrap of healing that needs to be done, you should be doing it. If a specific dps has to spend even a moment outside of combat either healing or running away because you didn't heal them, then you cost your team more than you gained them by healing.

There is never, ever a time where DPS is anything other than a secondary objective of a healer trying to win a game.

All this thread does is confirm the value of the AE heal and having a focus pool rather than a managed power pool. Sorc/sage can heal for 600k pretty easily in a long battle where the other team lets the healer heal.

Want to impress me? Roll an Op/Scoundrel or a commando/merc and pull 900k in a warzone. Can it even be done?

They should change the sage's Force Armor to counting towards Protection, rather than Healing. That might help with the medals and seems a little more in line with what the ability accomplishes.
