Guild Wars 2

Since Anet has introduced support/healing specs into the game, they should at least get recognized for their support/healing effort too. It should not always be based on damage alone.

I posted in another thread and realized it was in the old GW2 area and not included in the HoT section. So I am pulling it into this thread.

I agree i love healing i played only a monk in gw1 and love healing on my druid just as much it’s a shame that mastery exp is such a grind since i was having fun healing in DS meta the boss fight that you just run around in a circle why a boss group fights the boss that fight a healer helps allot and since you don’t get exp there any more it really fun to heal other parts tho not so much and i will let ppl just die over me not getting exp on trash

be for hot i would stop what ever i was doing to run up to place my healing spring and to stop to res now not so much exp is way to valuable now

This has always been a problem with MMOs, IMO. Every group loves to have a healer, but if you’re actually focused on healing, you get no credit for being a contributing part of the the group.

MMOs who don’t have a trinity you mean, which are few.

It’s ironic to think about it tho, “oh we want players to run support builds more not just zerk” but “yeah about that, forgot to say if you don’t do enough damage you don’t get properly rewarded”.

LoTRO is trinity-based .. just ask Minstrels (healers) and Lore-Masters (largely CC) whether they get due rewards, they’ll tell you ‘no’.

This goes all the way back to the start. Playing as a water ele three years ago while my map was doing Shatterer. Dodge rolling and staff healing people because we thought he was super tough, on occassion dropping some minute damage on kitten.

No reward for fight.

Good to see they haven’t fixed yet.
