I agree, but why not highlight the healers stats in the screenshot so we can see the disparity rather than showing off your own? Or show both for comparison?

When I took the screenshot originally it was to show a guildie that was in guild chat for an unrelated issue. It's only when I looked at it myself and realized, that checker_ch, who had kept us all alive through large damage attacks, that I felt horrible for them. I have a healer, and I wouldn't dream of going into BGs with them - but some people have healers as their mains and that makes achievement getting quite tough for them.

That image you shared in the other group - I'm betting isn't far away from what this person put up..

I think the current system is quite good. Healing only shouldn't be encouraged.

Healing is the easiest job by far, eso builds are very self sufficient so a healer (in my opinion) should always assist kills, cc and contribute by other means. As soon as you start doing that you will get more medals than anyone else. A healer that is solely focusing on healing is not being efficient.

I am playing assist heal in BGs (magwarden) and I like that the system forces me to actually contribute even when my team's HP bars are not on dangerous levels instead of mindlessly spamming heals. If you want to know how to become a good healer, ask @Cinbri. He usually beats all DDs in damage done while providing enough healing to not let the group drop. And in consequence is scoring more points than most other players.

Pretty much this. There is a time and place to go straight heal bot. But its almost always better to heal when its critically needed but not constantly obsess over maxing out life bars especially when most solid pvp builds generally have a slight form of self preservation built in.

Oh for sure, I'm not suggesting that a healer doesn't add to the DPS and give other support - and most usually do, but we shouldn't also punish pure healers either. Tanks have their modes in BGs to stack up points (Chaosball and Capture the Relic specifically) but healers do not...

Would just like to encourage some diversity. I know myself, I'd be interested taking a healer into BGs if it were viable... I get bored of just smacking whatever is in front of me.. lol

I got you. It is a little disheartening when you know for sure that you as a healer are the reason your team won and some neck beard mag sorc with 400k damage and 30 killing blows tells everyone "your welcome" at the end score screen of TDM game.

Chaosball at least does seem to reward healers accordingly:

Good to know!! I guess that's the mode I'll play with my healer then!!

Why is that not team bonus?
