Ycoga Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) This is taken from another thread: If a healer simply heals and nothing else, we get a max of 4 medals, which sucks as dps classes gets way more from just dpsing. Healers are the first to be targeted and killed, which is not fun for us, less playtime, and less chance to actually accumulate badges. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=289326 My suggestion is simple: increase awards given to healers in PVP. Here's a list of currently available medals: Demolisher - 2.5k Damage Single hit Combatant - 75k Damage Dealt Destroyer - 300k Damage Dealt Commando - 10 Kills Soldier - 25 Kills Quick Draw - 1 Killing Blow Assassin - 1 Solo Kill Shield - 5k Defense Protector - 50k Defense Guardian - 2k Defense in 1 Life Paladin - 10k Defense in 1 Life Defender - 1k Defender Points Warden - 3k Defender Points Healer - 75k Healed Savior - 300k Healed Medic - 2.5k Single Heal Trauma Surgeon - 5k Single Heal http://www.oldrepublic.net/304-pvp-valor-ranks-medals-titles-list.html The reason healers get fewer medals is, I think, due to the 'Commando' and 'Soldier' medals. An example of an additional heal medal might be '10 people raised back to max health'. Edited February 10, 2012 by Ycoga
pursang Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 ...I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
Ycoga Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 Not sarcastic; but in your defence I hadn't yet posted my reasoning behind it, and have now done so by including the list of medals and proposing an additional healing medal, for discussion.
plastikmanNL Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 healers already get the most medals son, what drugs are you on. Gimme some
GunnarL Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 4 medals?...... You can get the defender medals (not the defense) and you can still get the kill medals? that means 8. and what are the odds you don't do a little damage and pick up a killing blow when you can that makes 9... stop the madness
Branclor Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 As healers usually gets 3-5 mvp votes in the end of each warzone giving them more medals would just make it more unbalanced...
PHPer Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 As a healer, just dont heal. Anybody will yell at you anyway, so might as well just dps your best and get some kills.
Ycoga Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Haha why the flaming? I quoted the relevant bit from another post that prompted this discussion. I even posted a list of medals and pointed out where extra ones might be useful. A lot more constructive than 'come on son ***' and 'eh are j00 joking'. Is no-one interested in examining the likelihood of healers maxing out healing and also picking up kill medals? edit: could a mod please move this to the 'suggestion box'? I posted it in the wrong place. edit: Move to 'suggestion box' please. Edited February 14, 2012 by Ycoga
