Now don't get me wrong here, just hear me out please! I would love to get credit for kills that I contribute toward through healing an ally.... That would rock my world. But hey! I am not doing too bad. I've been able to do decent damage and get my 10kills, 25kills, killing blow, 75k damage, 2.5k hit, and solo kill occasionally. I'll also manage to get my 2.5k heal, 5k heal, 75k healing, and sometimes the 300k healing medals.... (Doing the damage usually keeps me from getting the 300k healing medal but it does allow me to get 3 or 4 more for sure).
This is on me operative.
It's pretty easy to get at least 5 medals, though that still isn't quite as good as when I was DPS spec. Fairly often I'll play my card right and get about 7-8 medals in a match. It's not impossible to do it, but with a little work, it's not that difficult. Unfortunately, I can't focus on just healing.
I'd be happy if Biomythicblizzardware added some medals for kill assists or something along those lines. Hell, or even for healing folks that are taking care of objectives. That way, I can focus a little more on keeping my team mates alive rather than gathering my valor points. Maybe it's kinda lame to do that, but why should I have to get less valor than anyone else because I'm healing? It's not like I am sitting there doing nothing... more often than not, I am tanking some chump in addition to healing someone else that is dying. Sometimes, that turns into a nice little 1v1 fight where I can just wear the guy down or he gives up
Anyways, wtb more medals for healing, tanking, or assisting.
TL;DR Healers can get a decent amount of medals by sacrificing some of that healing time for damage, but it would be really nice for our beloved devs to give me some more medals so I can focus on my role.
Edit - Also please fix the damn WZ win bug... so I can finish my frakkin' daily mission in one day. Last night I won 3/5 war zones and had zero count toward my daily. I quit in frustration because that's just ridiculous.
