Healing Badges

Hello. My name is Thaumator... and i'm a /dark Corruptor (ie I'm redside, and have a healing power that requires an accuracy check).

In your opinion, what would be the most efficient way for me to obtain the healing badges?

Yes I used the "search" function, but the results didn't help very much

I am willing to grab the medicine pool on my secondary build if Twilight Grasp isn't the most efficient.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Run more RWZ raids so you can use Howling Twilight. Rezzing people counts their full HP toward the healing badges.

Well, Nericus' suggestion about the Disruptor badge is the 'best' in terms of getting the job done. Particularly if you're interested in total badge count. Get Disruptor first and the healing badges are a snap. Of course, that 400 rep is a bi... pain.

At that's two badges I'll never earn, right there...

Yeah, and when you're explaining the system to someone who has never done it, avoiding jargon and 'in' references is a good idea.

I had someone mention this just a few days ago while setting up their gladiators; "There is no Longbow Warden 2 listed. Do you mean the 500 pt one?"

Well, thanks to you all, I'm pretty much fully on board as far as understanding the procedure. Thanks to your help here, and the other thread someone suggested I look at, I feel I have the basics fairly well grasped now. Thanks for taking the time to explain it slow and simple.

One question, slightly off main topic, but it shouldn't be a big thread jack; in the gladiator events, are you basically playing mastermind to the Gladiators you select?

I've tried to check out this aspect (I'll admit, not with a huge amount of perseverance), and frankly never found a soul on, so I've never seen it.

As I've mentioned in other threads, I have obtained the SG healing badges for a number of SG's on Infinity. Three words: FREE SERVER TRANSFERS.

Could any SG's on other servers use my assistance in getting the first two SG healing badges? If so, PM me.

Sorry to come to the part late, but: How do I get 400 Reputation? I gather that two cooperative characters with a stack of awakens can't just whack each other for ten minutes, but (other than reputation decay) there is no mention of Reputation mechanics in ParagonWiki or the PvP Guides.

It's true that you can't earn rep for fighting the same person until the timer is up (though I seem to recall they shortened that timer to 5 min, but don't quote me on that... it was certainly a 10 minute timer when I farmed my rep badges in 2007).

The best way I've found is to get a friend or two (or an alternate account) and take turns cycling through characters high enough to enter your chosen PVP zone round-robin.

When I did the badges, I used Warburg, and just fought against the zone wall straight south of the Hero boat. I stocked my Villains with Awakens. When a character was defeated, I'd log out with them still unconscious. When it was their turn to get beaten up again, I'd log back in and use a wakey (if they were a Villain) or hit the hospital and run back before my health had regenerated fully (if they were a Hero), making for some quick and easy kills.

I managed to get one character on my account and one on my then-girlfriend's account to 400 Rep in about 2 weeks of very casual farming, but it can be done in a single weekend with no problem if you just want to spend the whole time grinding, or if you have many friends who don't mind letting you beat up their characters.

You can do it in one day with a few people who also want the badge.

Defeating someone earns you a base value of 1 rep (assuming you are solo). If your target's rep is 20 or more higher than yours, you earn 6 for defeating them.

With a handful of organized players, each with a few toons, you can manage a kill a minute or better.

One effective strategy is to have one high-rep target. Everyone takes turns killing that target for the 6 rep. Then everyone logs alts and the high-rep guy kills all of them to make sure he stays 20+ rep ahead of everyone. The high-rep guy needs to be a top damage-dealer since he'll need to kill hundreds of targets (unless he is starting with a very high rep). Everyone else needs less than 70 kills to hit 400, instead of 400 kills.

Once upon a time, when I organized this, I would be able to keep one of my guys close to 400 for weeks at a time. At this point, the rep would have long since degraded to zero.

I don't think this works any more. If you just lie there, you get sent to the hospital automatically after 2 minutes. Also, if you log in dead, you get sent immediately (before your screen even finishes drawing).
