Already shown, sorc/sages can accomplish both and should do both. Easiest of the easymode classes for healing.
I do agree with this.

I don't think a healer should DPS but I frequently use my DoT because it reduces movement speed by 20% which helps keep multiple people off my target and I use Interrupts against enemy casters to reduce the amount of healing I have to do or the amount of healing that they are doing.

Healing isn't just about casting heals... It is about aiding your team with both heals and crowd control.

I've found that the only healers that know this are the ones that actually leveled up as a healer. A lot of the people that leveled DPS and then respec healing really suck at rotating through heals and interrupts.

these are pretty easy to get, even for healers. I realize everyone has a soft spot for healers, I do too... Just telling you guys what to do in order to obtain more medals, since no one else is helping.
LOL too funny. Best part is how if it was reversed and all the medals were given out for healing instead of damage, this fool would be crying bloody murder on the forums about why healers have it so easy.

It's not about being difficult. It's that it helps my team so much more if I'm healing my teammates for 4500 rather than plinking some guy for 200 damage. If you're dps, you help your team by killing people. If you're a healer, you help your team by keeping your teammates alive. We should be rewarded for doing our job, not for doing your job.

yeah because spaming aoe heals near doors helps your team.. nice stats tho but I bet your team was dying one by one while you was hunting green numbers

Im playing healer myself and I never had bigger healing done then 400-500k, enough to win most of the time

what Im trying to say is that if they implement 600k and 900k medals they will stand for pointless objectives like, in your eyey, doing damage as healer

If they ad more others healing medals, people will spec hybrid and roll 13 medals a match

Its hard for BW, so please let them think, they will figure something out

also I think this whole thread is just a "look how awesome Iam, I haz numbers" so its pointless anyways

Their also needs to be different kinds of healing medals.... Not just, more healing more medals.

I don't really know what, but more clutch healing medals might help too...

I'm currently a level 49 healer and I've leveled up in warzones as a healer since level 10. I have to say that if you aren't getting the 10 and 25 kill medals as a healer then you should probably rethink how you are healing. I don't play for medals. I couldn't care less about them. I do play with some dps thrown in because I believe it's the most helpful for the team. I'm pvp spec'd so I don't have an aoe heal, but I'll still do around 400k in a warzone.

As a sorc, we have the aoe knockback. You not only "tag" everyone you hit with this, but you also disrupt them as well, which means they don't do damage for a bit. We also have a stun that will both tag someone and also prevent damage. Doing this by itself should award you with the 10 kills medal every time.

If you aren't doing dps some times as a healer, then there are serious issues. A teammate isn't going to be on the verge of dieing all the time in which case you should go on the offensive. I'll typically target an enemy who is around 30% or less hp and start to dps them if none of my teammates are going to die without my heals in the next 4-5 seconds. Our lightning or telekinetic throw has a very nice snare on it so the enemy can not run away easily. I'll typically channel and then throw a rock at them. This not only ensures that the enemy dies, but it also makes them die faster and reduces the damage that the enemy is able to do before they die.

That said, I rarely get the 75k damage metal though that'll probably change once I get better gear. Below are the medals I can get in most fights:
Medic – 2.5k healing from a single heal
Healer - Healing 75K
Savior - Healing 300K
Quick Draw – Getting a killing blow on one player
Commando – Killing 10 enemy players
Soldier – Killing 25 enemy players
Defender – Earning 1k Defender Points
Warden - Earning 3k Defender Points

Once in a while I'll get these, but it's very uncommon.
Assassin – Killing a player in a one-on-one fight
Combatant – Dealing 75k damage

Careful with screenshots like this. The fact that you can even get that high in healing might result in your class being nerfed. Be glad you can heal for that much.

I am the OP, I didnt start this thread to have less experienced players/healers share their "wisdom" with me on how to play this class inside or outside of pvp. I dont heal every warzone like this, it was only meant to show that a crazy amount of healing can be done with almost no reward. There was no meter padding or lifetapping just alot of damage coming in and healing going out. Usually I do go for medals but there was enough dmg from the imps and I had been wanting to try for 1 mil for a while so when I saw the score sheet at the end I was completely shocked I only got 3 medals.

I have read all the posts and would like to change my original request for 600k/900k meds as these wouldnt really do anything besides encourage healers to blindly play whack-a-mole with their raid frames for 20 mins at a time.

Somone had made a post earlier suggesting a "Savior" medal for healing somone under 20% hp preventing them from certain death. This seams like a very good suggestion as it would not only add another medal to a healers bag of tricks but also encourage dps to use their healing/life saving abilities to help nearby allies avoid being killed, promoting good play.

Put this in and call it the "Jayess" medal, lol kidding, but srsly do it

If you are pro, please go play an Operative/Scoundrel healer, and tell me how it goes for you, compared to your sage.
