Guild Wars 2

A few weeks ago (closer to a month) I realized healing gave rewards in WvW so I made a full healing engineer and had tons of fun with it – took a break – and now it doesnt seem to work.

tried to find it in the patchnotes, maybe im missing it, any1 knows what happened?

sincerely

It hasn’t been that way for a long time. You actually have to do damage to get rewards, just healing never did. If you did get rewards for healing, then there was a bug in the game.

They did change it lately.

Supporting your allies will now contribute toward earning rewards for killing enemies and damaging event bosses. The actions listed below now cause a percentage of the target ally’s damage dealt for the next several seconds to also count toward your participation. In addition to that, damaging an enemy’s defiance bar will also grant you some participation toward receiving rewards from that enemy. In order to discourage AFKing with boon-applying auras, you must still be actively attacking targets to receive rewards from them.
Applying boons to an ally (small percentage).
Removing conditions from an ally (small percentage).
Reviving an ally (large percentage).
Healing an ally (percentage scales based on how much healing is given).

However, there’s two things— first, you still have to attack, and second, only a percentage of the people you support’s damage gets credited to you. So it’s possible that might not have been enough if you and the people you support didn’t do well enough.

Aah yep thats the patch that got me trying healing allies a month ago, to see if I get rewarded for it. It turned out then that I acvtually did get rewards for just healing, no dmg at all.

So I decided to make a full healing engineer, thinking this was intended, and it was like I got rewards for the dmg other people put out Maybe it was a bug then
