[PS4] I'm DPS... And heals?

So, forgive my noobishness, but this is bugging me. On a recent throne of the Dwarven gods skirmish, after squeaking just over 2700 GS, I topped the Paingiver and immovable object boards. And.... came in a close second on the healing board.

Uhmwhat? So, I know my build does return health to others that kill my cursed targets, and I get health back (I think because of my mount configuration). It's made me better able to function on my own in PVE, I think.

But is this normal to heal that much on SW?
Should I be adjusting to reduce heals going out to other people?

"Field Medic" score counts all manner of self heals including lifesteal and drinking potions, as well as anything generated by a healing pet. My Guardian Fighter would often top it while using an Alchemist as his summon, which heals allies as well as yourself.

It's also really not uncommon for a player taking lots of damage to score high here if they are also restoring their own lost health consistently.

I don't see anything here to be alarmed about, mostly due to the self-heal factor.

It is normal to be high in medic charts. All the DoTs proc lifesteal more. The chart shows total healing. Not just teamate heals. If you have a heal companion the heals will go up.

Thanks... I was thinking I needed to respec or something. I'll keep going with the current build then.

Did you stake the lifesteal heroic feat? If not then there's really nothing in your spec that would make any kind of difference assuming you're Fury.

I am HB, and have 2/3 Soul Reaping (2% lifesteal chance).

Thoughts?

Sw's have high burst and dot damage + superior self healing.
Hope this answered your question.

High burst dps with Soul Scorch encounter power only (lol)
