Give rps from spread heal.

As a healer, the rp rewards for healing are poor, especially as an augh.

Spread heal gives 0 rps, which is a bit strange as mid has to if the main dps tanks running around on a keep wall.
There is no incentive to play support, I can probably say it's the same across the realms.

This will help healing support classes immensely.

I've wondered that also. Most healers try and use their specs but there are times you can't but you don't anything for using spread.

I am kind of on the fence regarding this, even leaning a bit in the other direction...

Why should healing your groupmates give bonus RP at all?
Getting boni for out of group healing/rezzing makes sense, to incentive supports to not only care for their own group but also realmmates in need. And gives healers that haven't found a group in the BG yet something to do that gives RPs.


If it is to entice more players into support classes, why is it tied to active healing at all? Why not just throw the classes that are not played enough a %-RP-Bonus?

Spread heal gives 0 RP since you heal group mates only.
You won't get extra RP for mezzing or dealing damage as well.

I really hope you were making a joke here.

Anyways, healing classes already have an incentive when using single or group heals (plus rps for rezzing players). No further plans to expand this.

You should play a class because it is fun to play it and because you like to play it, but not to maximize your rps/h. The game should be about fun and not about being #1 in the herald or stats.

I do enjoy playing my healer.

Its just pants there isnt much incentive for others to play the class when the rp rewards are pants and quite frankly, compared to druid/cleric who have offensive capabilities, its pretty damn boring at times when all you do is heal or demezzas augh. Oh and run celerity, forgot about that

Keeping your group alive will yield you more rps, that should be more than enough incentive for anyone.

Talking about RPs to healers, they should be given also for mezz/stuns. It's laughable that an aoe mezz / stun wins the fight and the healer gets no RPs, while the casual shaman aoe dotting there gets tons of it for dealing ridicolous damage.

Also, the RPs given for the total HP healed are a shame, totally shame, not talking about RPs given to rezz that are even more ridicolous...

Wha? This makes no sense. You will might as well say that healing at all gives zero rps.

When I single target heal a group mate I certainly get rps.

As I'm normally the only healer in a group(aug sham spec is not much mend), I'm busting my balls doing what should be a two man job on my own.

And it's wrong as I get nothing in return for x2 effort

Bit hard to do that in bg at times.

Plenty of skalds and dps, little support
