Omnitheo Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm a healer Merc. I focus on two things: Objectives, and keeping people alive. I attack the enemies only in two situations: 1: They are clustered together, and I can utilize AOEs for maximum effect. 2: They are after an objective, or carrying the ball, and I can stun or KB them. I follow the ball carrier, keeping him alive, I try and heal any randoms I see around me, and I readily sacrifice myself to keep my team alive. I have unfortunately gotten used to getting only 2-4 medals per match, and not a single mvp vote outside of my guildmates. I figure if we win, we all get more commendations, but unfortunately those extra commendations go to everyone, and the people who are just randomly killing and not trying to win still end up getting far more than I could ever hope for. It's gonna be a lot more huttballs before I ever get lvl 50 pvp gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamzaBehoulve Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 ^^ Bye bye healing spec, herro hybrid madness spec and no more healing for bad randoms. Hope more healers do the same. Why should we vote for you exactly? Self-centered much? I vote for top objectives, not top healing or top damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheeling Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The freebie medals for guard are quite lame. They are remarkably low in my opinion. As a Damage specced Vanguard, without the ability to guard (not using the proper cell), I can still get all 3 of them. That's just using 2 taunts, which have a 6 second effect time. They need to make the tanking medals something like: Prevent 10k damage in one life Guard someone hit by a 2.5k+ hit Prevent 50k damage to your allies Those would be MUCH more appropriate, and would allow for only one medal to be earned by only taunting.

Sihayaa Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I just ignore lowbies in my group and onyl heal the 50s. I am not wasting force on a lvl 16; I'll just throw that force into damage and get credit for a few kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealAeiouy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I will often vote top healer as well. If I know I was healed it is a lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nittutt Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Seriously people. Have you never played a MMO at release? And i don't mean expansion pack. NO game is perfect at release. Give it at least a MONTH before you DEMAND stuff from BioWare. They know how to develop games, have some faith. Or you can go back to WoW like a kid.

So yeah healers get no respec in PVP my brother plays a tank spec powertech and gets 10+ medals a game and always tons of MVP votes I usually get 0 but I always PVP with him so I get at least 1 vote for keeping his arse alive...

Drakos Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 If you PvP Heal, either do a pre-made or do it for fun. If you -ever- heal and expect gratification for your efforts, you are performing the wrong role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just need to Q with bads like you. Call me bad all you want, you're the one crying about your entire team saying you're worthless and that you don't get any MVP votes; I'm the guy who walks out with 3-6votes, 9+ medals and walks into matches with people saying "Yay, Harbinger's here!".

Let me guess, you were in a premade and didn't have to focus on healing half of the time? Congrats for having easy opponents? You're a pretty bad healer if all you do is spam heals. It's very easy to take 1 gcd or do a 3second channeled spell without your entire team dying. Seriously, what do you guys do when your team's all above 90%, overheal them?

myxel Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 You should be healing cause you like it , not to beg for a MVP People asking them , will never recieve them from me. If i think a healer did a good job , i'l vote him MVP anyways so this. i heal beacuse i like to. also, does the mvp vote even do anything? why do people want them so bad?

EvaSofie Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Though, its weird that you get less medals for healing than for dps. So i would agree that this needs to be looked into. So that the system rewards support as much as offense. Lets leave that vote to the players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does it means the other team sucks and you don't have to focus. Try doing this in a pug where the other team has enough brains to focus on you; the healer. You'll be spamming heals on yourself most of the time in that case, and hardly throwing out even the occasional dot, let alone keeping the rest of your team alive.

Grizwall Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have only got a vote once and didn't win but the main reason I stay healer is because when I'm heal spec the chances of us winning and getting the daily done is better. I'm usually the only healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennace Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Yes it is, but doing such occasional damage will not net you damage done for half of your healing. If it does it means the other team sucks and you don't have to focus. Try doing this in a pug where the other team has enough brains to focus on you; the healer. You'll be spamming heals on yourself most of the time in that case, and hardly throwing out even the occasional dot, let alone keeping the rest of your team alive. Popping my relic and Supercharge cells gives me 2k crits with my AoE, which ticks 3 times and hits 5 players; using that over a turret or over the door in Voidstar or over the enemys ball protection in hutball will net me 6-30k damage; using my dot explosive will net me similar numbers when I use it right nd using my stickybomb will net me 10k damage. Using my AoE will also cause the entire enemy team to scatter. On top of that I position myself correctly; anyone who wants to attack me has to run through my team to do so then chase me around a pillar while I easily heal myself and my team and use my instant cast damage spells. It's just a L2P issue on your behalf. Use your cooldowns correctly and don't stand where the enemy team can just kill you. I get high medals all the time but I still don't get the MVP votes and operatives don't have any real AOE healing power we just can't put up those kinds of numbers so easily our aoe hot is a complete joke at the moment, and either way the highest DPS always gets the votes on my server so no most people are not doing it wrong. My only AoE heal has a 5m radius, 6 second cooldown and heals for 1.2k. Edited January 15, 2012 by Dennace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
