Truth is only the mass acceptance of an opinion. |
I remember reading or watching somewhere awhile back that the loot dropped for someone will be dependent on the amount of damage done for each character. Will this adversely effect healers? I know they have to wade into the fight to be able to heal at the optimum level but they will still do far less damage than dps, casters etc. I'm talking about pure healers as well not hybrids. Anyone know anything about this? |

Negatory. The exact formula for contribution for PQs (assuming that's what you're talking about) is currently unknown. But from what I can gather and what others are saying the formular doesn't include only "damage done" but also healing done and threat done. Otherwise everyone would be goin in to dps and the tanks and healers would be left out in the cold. Alas, all these things are subject to change.
But I do believe they've made things, or are in the process of, making things even across the 4 archetypes. |

Actually healers are making out like bandits from what I hear. Healing gives you higher contribution and gives you almost double points for pvp. so the highest earner in every pq is always the main healer and a healer is always on top in the battlegrounds. now if only they can find a way to make people play heavy tanks.. half the game is playing sorcoress and witchelves with a few squigg herders and the other half is playing warrior priest (that dont heal of course) witch hunter shadow warrior.. |

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense. |
I bet it will be based on threat, the dps will get points for damage done, healers for healing done, tanks for damage taken and so on... and probably a combination of those, so the more "work" you do the more points you get. Or at least that is how I would solve it if it was up to me. :) |

Moderation should be done in moderation. Communists. |
What about offtanks? They'd probably get shafted because they weren't the MT of the mob. It is all specculation anyhow; the system sounds great in theory. |
