Why should healers be rewarded for being "More versitile" though? Why is it advantageous for a healer to pop all his cds and adrenals, try and find a target w/o pvp gear, then get the 2.5k hit medal? Sure, you can get it, but as a dps I'd much rather the healer save all of those cooldowns for healing in a tight spot. We've got dps for dpsing, healers for healing, it doesn't really help for healers to be doing dps and to have dps running into acid pits out of combat so they can get the 5k healing medal. IMO the medal system should be scrapped, it's not an accurate representation of how well you're doing. You should just get a certain amount of valor based on how much damage/healing/protection/objectives you get

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. I never said it was hard to get those medals. But the poitn is that we shouldn't have to. In some matches stopping healing for even 1 cooldown can mean that a team mate dies, in which case I wasn't doing my job. I admit that currently whenever possible I try and toss out a grenade for splash damage but, as I said I shouldn't have to do that just to get "tap damage" for kill medals.

Chasing someone down trying to get a killing blow while my teammates are dying is not playing smart. Lobbing a grenade into a group of players when my resource bar should be used to cast heals is not smart. You obviously don't play a healer. If you're wasting time and resources trying to get kills when you should be healing, you at least arn't playing a healer effectively.

If you want more commendations or valor from healing then get the win.

They should make it so you get kill credit for either being in the area of the fighting or for healing someone who killed an enemy- with a million healing, you likely healed just about everyone- if those heals counted towards kills that those you were healing killed, you'd be pretty close to the guys on your team who got 40ish... at the very least, you'd have the three you got plus 2 more. 5 medals isn't bad for just healing.

I played a WZ where I healed for about 300k, won the warzone, only got 3 medals got around 50ish commendations while the dps and tanks had 5-8 medals each. Trust me, I earned way more rewards than I got for that match. Please think before you post.

While I do agree 3 medals for 920k healing is pathetic, the OP is missing the bigger picture. Medals for 600k and 900k would be stupid. If you're facing a half-decent group there's no possible way you can hit 900k because they'll keep a melee on you the whole time. There just needs to be rewards similar to that of a tank, such as 50k healing in one life, 150k healing in one life, 25-50k healing to another person in one life, etc. I completely agree we should get credits for the kills of the people we heal also. Having to throw out sticky grenades and mortar volleys on cd just for medals is kinda dumb, because I'm much better off healing my team with those GCDs.

Even adding two or three of those medals when mean the world to healers. Bioware, this is a no brainer. The only arguments against healing medals being increased are people who don't understand how healing works.

So tunnel vision isn't rewarded? looks like anyone who focuses on dps (tunnel vision!) gets the most reward. All medals listed below Medic � 2.5k healing from a single heal Demolisher � 2.5k damage from a single attack Trauma Surgeon � 5k healing from a single heal Anihilator - 5K damage from a single attack Quick Draw � Getting a killing blow on one player Combatant � Dealing 75k damage Destroyer - Dealing 300K damage Healer - Healing 75K Savior - Healing 300K Defender � Earning 1k Defender Points Warden - Earning 3k Defender Points Assassin � Killing a player in a one-on-one fight Shield � 5k Protection Protector - 50K Protection Guardian � 2k Protection since last death Paladin � 10k Protection since last death Commando � Killing 10 enemy players Soldier � Killing 25 enemy players Umm... ok, so that's accurate. "Healer list- include only the healing abilities DESPITE THE CLASS BEING ABLE TO GET OTHER MEDALS" DPS and Tank- include every single medal they can get, even the ones outside of their specific role. A healer can- kill someone in one blow, kill someone one on one, get kill medals, some can get a hit medal (though, without chain lightning or death field, no sorc/sage is going to get that heal specced since the class lacks burst). Healer is more like 10/18, 11 if you put in a bit of effort for the 75k, not a hard one to reach. Will you get it every game? No- but frankly, I play a dps sorc- some games even as a dps sorc I don't get the dps medals but do get the healing medals. Some games of huttball I'm mostly positioning, overload, extricate- and get 2 medals yet am instrumental in 4-5 ball caps. That said, some matches I play very well and get few medals, some I play very poorly and get few medals- some I play very well and also get 7-9 medals. You can get 7-9 medals while not playing to win- but outside exploiting certain mechanics, you won't get many medals by being bad. Is the mechanic perfect? Hardly. But it's much better than giving people who afk the same as people who try hard the whole match- which is exactly what WoW's awful system does. Another thing is, while Voidstar defense is won by healing, Voidstar offence is won by burst- not switching over to burst down low health characters on the offence will cost you.... which I imagine is part of the reason that despite the incredible amount of healing done- only one door was passed.
