Q:

In a PvE boss fight with my guardian, I used staff and mostly tried to heal and rez players. I ended up with a bronze and no loot.

Do supportive actions rank so poorly versus straight dps or did I just have a bad day?

A:

In nearly every dynamic event, I have found ranking directly correlates to the amount of damage done to mobs. In short, being ‘supportive’ in general is detrimental to being rewarded. This also means that people not damaging large waves of mobs will likely never get loot drops from those mobs.

It’s something A-Net needs to seriously look in to.

Stop healing, start killing and loot will come.

Unfortunately for right now support actions don’t give you squat in those events. That really needs to change.

I play other characters as damage only and when I do, I would like the player keeping me up to be as rewarded as I am. Thanks for the feedback.
