Mysterious heal badge credit -- Where did it come from?
Combative healing allies in missions that you escort out of the mission can sometimes count for credit as well.
only other things would be pets from missions, or possibly you confusing someone using temp powers (nectar comes to mind..)

Nope, I haven't been confusing anyone.

There was a power you could get as part of the Valentine's festivities that allowed you to heal others, if I remember correctly.
EDIT: And other power that gave you confuse, I think.
Have you used the [Coolant] on the Heroside Respec Trial's Reactor at all?
Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters
So I just noticed that my Scrapper has over 42k points of credit towards the first heal badge, and I can't figure out where it came from. I've never used an Amy, I've never completed the Katie Hannon task force so I've never even had an Amy, and I've never done a gladiator match. I don't have any ally heals, and I haven't used any ally heal or rez temp powers, at least not to the tune of 42k points of healing. I do have Siphon Life but it shouldn't be counting.
So where could I be getting all this badge credit from? |
have you ever rescued Lady Grey in her Vanguard Arc, she has a heal and uses it a lot once the ambush happens.

I figure it can only be from missions like this one. *shrugs*

Perhaps the mechanism that excludes self heals is bugged? Seen a lot of progress on this badge for my Tank too.
The Fortune Teller from the Negotiator badge mission might be some of it, but at level 14 maximum, it couldn't be for very much. I say this because my Claws/Willpower Scrapper has something like 30 points of progress without having done any of the RWZ missions, the Katie TF, or being high enough to rescue Ravenstorm in a tip mission, and I suppose that I got it from that mission.

If it is that would definitely explain it.

Ok, the mechanic says healed other heroes, but I will tell you now from personal experience with my regen crapper, dark armor brute and stone tank, self heals also count. They honestly shouldn't, but they do.
Now don't go setting your heals to auto or anything, it only gives credit when you actually healed damage, so if you're at full or have max HP boosted and you're only healing the boosted part, it won't give credit. That's why you don't see that many melee characters with healing badges. None of the 3 characters I mentioned actually have the healing badges, but they have a lot of credit since they heal themselves often. Actual regen doesn't count either, only green numbers from click heals like Reconstruction, Dull Pain, Dark Regeneration, Siphon Life and Earth's Embrace (and any other click heal used when you are actually damaged).
Edit: I forgot, inspirations also do it.

Do you have the little vet pets that heal? There was a bug where they where earning credit towards the heal badges.

I don't know i don't have one myself but my friend had the little fairy one and it was earning him credit toward heal badges. This was back around when they lowered the amount needed for the badges and i was wondering if they where going to nix the gladiator credit so he was messing around with what would get credit and when his pet was in use he was getting credit.

I'm not denying what you're saying is true - just never heard of it before. *shrugs*
I would not have noticed that regardless because I managed to get Empath on my main about a month before they lowered the original requirement. In fact I half-jokingly think the Devs lowered it when they did because they knew I was finally done with it.
Anyway that'd be a pretty cool "side effect" considering these vet pets supposedly only provide little buffs, not heals. I assume whatever was causing that was quickly fixed because that'd be a pretty nice trick for people wanting heal badges.

You know i should say i think this was in beta and like i said it was second hand so i don't know the circumstances so who knows might not be true. He said it to me so i figured i would through it out there as a possibility.

I realize that sounds semi-impossible but you have the remember the Devs hardly ever completely "delete" anything from the code. If they develop something that they decide they don't want to use they'll usually just let it lie dormant in the code rather than totally remove it. This could just be a case of a bit of "zombie code" that was allowed to work again as a bug. Who knows?

The Vet pets don't heal. Your friend meant that if you use a heal on one of those pets, it grants you extremely large credit toward the healing badge. Even though they only have 10hp, you can heal them for thousands, and it all counts.
If you get a small group of people together with their pets and start running a healing aura, you can get the badges much faster than the standard Gladiator Heal farm.

Edit:
I just re-tested and it still works. Healing a pet shows about 4x the healing above it's head, and it all counts toward the badge.
Here are some pics:

Also, in response to where the healing comes from, I know for a fact that self-healing mastermind pets accumulate healing towards this badge (well, they did when I was playing that Necromancy/FF that got healing badges). Since Ravenstorm is Dark melee/Dark Armor, both of which include self-heals, I expect that those may count based on previous experience.
So I just noticed that my Scrapper has over 42k points of credit towards the first heal badge, and I can't figure out where it came from. I've never used an Amy, I've never completed the Katie Hannon task force so I've never even had an Amy, and I've never done a gladiator match.
