Bamautqt Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Am I playing it wrong? I am struggling to just get 5 and so far 5 has been my maximum. I'm 27 so I am unaware about how commandos are at max but does it get easier? Im honestly thinking of rerolling vanguard since every vanguard I've seen at level 16+ have been netting 8 medals each WZ without any effort.

Bamautqt Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 which is exactly why : / 3 extra medals for one ability >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedip_enguin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Dont worry, be happy. Commando's can get medals for healing, Vanguards cant do that, so make a point of chucking a few heals about during the quieter times in a WZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orduno Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The amount of defender points you get from using Guard on someone and forgetting about it as well as using your taunts on cooldown far, far exceeds the amount of healing points you'll get from tossing out a heal now and again. Keep in mind you have to heal injured folks to get points, so you'll have to do it mid fight or hope to annoy some Sage Sacrifice/healing himself. I've got a Commando and a Shadow, and I've moved between the trees on all of them. Anyone who doesn't think that Tank specs have the easiest time getting medals (and medics the hardest) is really not paying attention to reality or flatly ignoring it.

Im honestly thinking of rerolling vanguard since every vanguard I've seen at level 16+ have been netting 8 medals each WZ without any effort. I hit 50 on my commando fairly recently. I've found I get the most medals by using a hybrid medic/gunnery spec. Can easily get: 75k healing 75k dmg 2.5k heal 2.5k hit 10 kills 25 kills killing blow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyronamics Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I hit 50 on my commando fairly recently. I've found I get the most medals by using a hybrid medic/gunnery spec. Can easily get: 75k healing 75k dmg 2.5k heal 2.5k hit 10 kills 25 kills killing blow 1K defence is pretty easy too but depends on map. Solo Kill is one I get easily but you need to be confident in your attack combos and be able to keep it up til they die. Tanks, healers and stealth classes are quite difficult to solo as assault spec if they're prepared. The ideal target is ironically enough, another DPS class, who may well have the same idea when he sees you... Stuff like 300k anything only happens if you are just trashing the other side and they're helpless to stop you doing whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedistreen Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) assault really shines after level 40, when you get assault platique. You can easily get 2.5k hit, defender, warden, 75k damage, killing blow, assassin, and possibly 2.5k heal if you're lucky. Invincible is also on the table if you're playing noobs, as is 300k damage (gotta love those dots). Thats 7 dmg medals and 1 healing medal.

Vaspyre Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I get about 7+ medals a wz with my gunnery/assault spec. Once I get the healing cast reduction should be easier to get more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barakus Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The only medal I have problems with getting as Assault over Gunnery is the 300k damage medal. I can usually get this pretty easily as Gunnery but I have to try really hard just to get into the high 200's as Assault. It might just be that I'm still stuck in the gunnery mentality and not spreading around the DoT's enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyronamics Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Nah it's pretty rare for me to get 300k as Assault. Thing is, you don't keep pounding a target with un-negatable damage like Gunnery. If someone is being healed, shielded or frankly aware you can remove DoTs then that's a lot of your damage gone. You need to be slapping the other team up with a wet fish all game to get 300k as Assault and that requires them to have no or lousy healers, no shielding and poor teamwork. Assault is relatively agile when doing damage and good at disrupting but it can't do as much damage on the move as Gunnery can by sitting around. I still get as many medals as Gunnery, 300k is only one medal. Assault is a far better defender due to the long DoT and is particularly good at chasing targets down using mobile damage abilities. Different roles in the end. Both are DPS but Assault is more tactical while Gunnery is brute force and you need to think of it that way rather than line up damage in PVP and decide on how useful someone was by the size of the number.
