Utilizing possible exploits such as the one found here : http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=265183

add another 2-3 medals to dps and tanks.

So tunnel vision isn't rewarded? looks like anyone who focuses on dps (tunnel vision!) gets the most reward.

Not to mention Trauma Surgeon and Savior are extremely difficult if not impossible to get in the pre-50 bracket. That means you can only get 4 medals by doing your job before you hit 50. The only way to get more medals is to stop healing and dps. If a healer does this, it is detrimental to the team. This is very problematic.

900k healing... Hats off to you sir.

My record (also in Voidstar) is 630k where I utilized my AOE heal A LOT. I don't see any other classes than sage/sorcerer pulling this off, but would like to be proven wrong.

and the 2 defender medals are practically unattainable in voidstar, and both can be difficult in huttball sometimes. Alderaan is the only one I can consistantly get these in.

if you think thats bad, you should see what ive done on my FOCUS spec guardian, got the 2.5k damage, 5k damage, killing blow, up to 10k protection, 2.5k heal, 75k damage, before the 1st 30 seconds in huttball

Self heal shouldn't count, then no one would need a healing medal above 300k

And how many healers is busy standing in acid/fire pits on stunball and heal them self? and then they get a screenshot there they brag about how good they are...

Also it is funny to see ppl brag about how good they are and need more medals for farming pugs with their premaid... Cmon BW i know you don't care about us but pretend and please give us premaid vs premaid and pugs vs pugs.
Also ingame voice would have been great in wz, sure premaid don't need it but it would help pugs a bit. So they can use the same tools premaid is using.

The medals for healing definately does need re-working. In the past I was pro-bono towards it. I felt it was just fine where it was. Back then though, we didn't have the 50 brackets and the huge gear gap you see in warzones now. So healers really didn't need to spend all their time healing. They could easily pull 7-10 medals outta any warzone if they were played properly.

The reality of it now is that we have 50 brackets, we have a ton of geared people and the luxury of old is not as viable as it once was. Due to the massive amount of dmg that is going on during warzones, especially if you run with pre-mades... there is very very little time to dps.

If you come up against another pre-made, the only abilities you will be using outside of your heals as a sorc will be your bubble, overload, our stun and our interupt... along with the occasional whirlwind if you actually get enough time to get one off. We don't have time to stop and dps cause if we do, our dps die and we die. These types of matches boil down to which healer can sustain enough of their teamates long enough to wither the other side down.

Anyone saying our dps is still vital during this situations is just a complete moron. Full speced healer dps is so insignificant against champ/BM geared players it's seriously just laughable. The only counter to their dps is keeping your dps up.

At the end of these types of matches, I'll wrack up 400-500k healing with ease and normally still get 5-6 medals if I get lucky enough to get in the killing blow on a player which I usually do. DPS though, they always come out with 8-9, and tanks even more.

So basically in a win, every class did their roles to be victorious while the healer get's f#$ked due to Bioware's ignorance in the medal system.

It's no different in ilum, Bioware once again drops the ball and screws the healers forcing anyone that wants to heal to have to dps if they want credit for kills.

I've been full heal spec since day 1, I love it but I do love to dps and I'll do it every chance I can. Rest assured though when we get into competitive matches in warzones, my job is keeping my team up and every class role should be rewarded rightfully so for it.

Easiest change I can see is make anyone within a certain radius of a player dying get credit for the kill as long as you were in combat during it. Healers at least then would get access to two more guaranteed medals. Maybe add another bracket in for amount of healing instead..or better yet.. make a medal for 75k dmg/150k healing which will be a little extra bonus during some matches do try and encourage healers to do more then chain heals.

As for mpv votes, seriously, people need to get off this boat where "well if you heal, you'll get votes for mpv that make up for it". Seriously f#$k off with that garbage, that happens maybe 20% of the time if your lucky and we don't need pity votes for doing our jobs in warzone matches where dps'ing isn't a viable option. All classes and not just healers should have equal rewards for performing their roles given what ever situation arises in any given warzone.

Either way, you can definately see the trend or I should say the toll of the current healing system is taking on healers in general in the game. With the high respec costs, lack of rewards for healing, a lot of people that would just spec back and forth are staying dps entirely. All I see when I'm on the imp fleet these days is non stop spams from tons of groups looking for healers. At the current rate, if Bioware doesn't get their heads outta their asses and fix this, there won't be any healers left in the game in 6 months aside from the straight up 100% pve folks.

I never said that healers weren't shafted as far as medals go.

But seriously? 3 medals?

You can't tell me it is hard to get the killing blow and 10 kill one. You just can't.

A well timed shock will get you use killing blow and a few rotating dots will get you the 10 kill one easy.

25 kills is not that difficult if the game is long enough.

Voidstar is voidstar. It encourages both tunnel vision healing and tunnel vision DPSing. 900K is nothing compared to the 1.2 mil some guy posted a few days ago.

What is common between these SSs? <10K damage.

Play smarter, and even though you'll still get less medals than DPS, at least you'll walk away with a few more than 3.
