Yeah the only way to get high medal score as a healer is provide damage assistance, which should be the case regardless imo. Generally from my view, every healer should have some minor form of pressure regardless of the pvp content, well at least in pvp content where you actually have to outplay other players. Cyrodil you can do *** all.

The other way is to fish for healing crit medals by using your classes burst heal. What happens is you end up waiting for health pools to drop to the point where the recipient of your heal will receive it's full amount since overhealing is not calculated. The issue here is if you happen have another healer in your group, or more often the case esp with bgs being solo only now, you may get a well rounded magicka build on your team, who is structured to be able to function independently without the need of a healer ie an offensive magplar or magsorc who slot bol and matriarch, it then becomes a game of health bar wack a mole arms race where you are trying to nab the burst healed before they do. Ultimately this shouldnt matter but in terms of medal / score performance it does.

It's why I get annoyed, not because i place any stock into the scoreboard but because many unknowledgeable players do and every so often you get lip from idiots. Its especially grating when those with choice words are the ones who run off and los their team spamming their burst heal while a healer is trying to top them off.

Honestly it's just annoying more than anything. BGs have never been indicative of very much and shoupdnt be taken serious, at least in terms of pvp for anyone who has history playing other games that do instanced based pvp better.

I’m starting to think medal scores are a lot more balanced then I thought. I think medal scores are probably the best way to show your actual contribution.

I mean it’s not perfect, but since changing from a pure healer to a mix of damage and healing my scores and win rate have gone up. It’s not the best indicator, but better than say KvD for team success.
