    Got credit finally but seems we have to do some damage not just healing...
    Seems some change has been added about the credit in Cosmics?

    Healers get regularly shortchanged in CO. It sucks, but the best bet are heals like Life Essence or Life Drain. Or spamming Vengeance with Sentinel Mastery. Keep a strong burst heal like Iniquity ready so you can heal up tanks fast.

    *Life Drain + Medical nanites is a personal favorite. Keeps every body healed and you never fail to get credit.

    Is it possible you were circumvented from healing by other healers, I've had that happen a few times, try to heal others, other healers beat you to it and lag/delays, either way, yeah, do some damage if that happens. :dissapointed:
    Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.

    I take this quote from a review that I agree with.

    "customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

    I personally they should fix to calculate amount of heal/buffs done by support somehow not just counting damages.

    Yeah one thing which is missing entirely is buff calculations unfortunately the engine is so old and derpy I don't know if it can handle it.​​

    Even if the engine supported credit for buffs and debuffs (as far as I know, it doesn't), it's quite hard to assign them a value.

    I've always wanted a healer's leader board for events!

    As AoED and Medical Nanites have shown, this is not as good an idea as some people think. Rewarding people for simply existing at cosmics is unlikely to have a positive effect, given that it has had a negative effect at cosmics that currently allow it. I can personally recall more than one player who simply planted themselves at the cosmics with AoED and then block-afk'd the fight, before they fixed that. This behavior is not something that should be encouraged.

    The Cosmics do count healing, not just damage. If you're not getting healer credit, it's possible that means that healing was covered by healers with better, faster methods.
