Add Damage Taken in BGs

So we can see how much damage we have inflicted and how much healing we have done but I would also like to see how much damage I took in a battleground.

I think that would be a fun stat, especially for tanks.

i like how some games have a page you can visit and displays all kinds of awesome stats! that'd be epic. good idea!

Omg i just thought as well at the end of random dungeons or just using the activity finder it can show a screen where it shows how much healing/dps you and your team did or healing or how much damage people took, maybe even Mob kills

and receive medals and such for reaching certain thresholds!

There’s an add-on for that.

Good idea. Maybe even add a score for it. PvP healers regularly take more damage and it would be a good way to boost their points.

Achievements linked to damage wouldn't be a bad idea. Would give tanks something to brag about too. Like Paragon title there could be one for taking 500k damage in a single battelground match, etc.

A screen for your own stats would be cool, other people's stats is going to be a hard No. That is the bane of so many game. And for a game like this, intended to play as you want, that just a metric for cancerous toxicity.

I was just thinking about this very issue last night after a day of bgs.

There needs to be some other metrics added to see a players success and contribution.

Right now the medals and stats HEAVILY favor sorcs and nightblades.

I AM NOT CLAIMING SORCS OR NIGHTBLADES ARE OVERPOWERED

The truth is just that their mechanics are heavily focused on KBs and it is disheartening for other classes or those not running or able to slot execute abilities.

I love my magDK but I can't count the number of times I've been locked in an epic fight holding ground on a flag, killing a ball carrier, against multiple opponents and just before I finish my target off a sorc on my or another team that has not contributed to my survival or damaging my opponent snipes the KB with an endless fury proc.

I also believe this is the reason that many games are predominantly populated with sorcs and NBs. It feels good to see that scoreboard recognition and it's simply not balanced in that regard.

Damage taken should be tracked and rewarded at certain thresholds. I dont play a tank but my brawler magDK can put in some serious work in the thick of combat and then I would at least have available a stat that shows some contribution so I and others could say, "That guy was the reason the sorc, nb, warden running reverse slice, was left unharassed and was able to rack up those KB snipes"
