Hi,
have a look at this link,

You will need a PvP rep of 400 to get the correct badge to unlock the Healers and a second account to get the Arena match going before you leave the PC on whilst you go on vacation!
The only consolation I can offer you is that not so long ago, the amounts required were dropped by about a factor of 10 so we now have it real easy
Please ask away if reading the linked thread raises more questons.
Cheers

And not so long before that, it had previously been reduced by a factor of 10. The requirement for the Empath badge is now 1% of what it was originally.|

Thanks. I knew there were people that had this stuff dialed....
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before somewhere else or how long it hasb een this way, but I recently came across a "nerf" of sorts while doing a healing farm last week. Usually I log in several accounts to create more targets for the Wardens to heal so progress moves much faster. I've found that this no longer works very well. The Wardens' aura is now limited to only 16 targets, which means when I logged in 2 more accounts with 13 gladiators each, they were mostly useless. We already had 14 gladiators between me and the other guy I was helping.
Well, at least the method still works, in general.
another alternate method to getting the heal badges is to use aid other on a vet buff pet, since healing powers seem amplified to about 4x normal and healing them at "full" still counts for credit (the reason credit is given at "full" is because they are like normal pets and have about 1070 hp at lvl 50 but a self applied power in their resistance does -maxhp which the game considers as dmg)
while it would be tedious to constantly be clicking aid self, you can get a little over 1000 heal pts credit per heal if you heal for more than 1100, so if you have high rech, low interrupt time and moderate heal enhance you could get it relatively fast

Is this still working? I noted the other day that my progress bar wasn't moving when my vet pet was in my heal aura.

Nope. This was fixed in a recent patch. It was, of course, not mentioned in the patch notes since it was clearly an exploit.

Right. The pet still shows the +4x healing above it's head, but none if it at all counts now.

It's funny I only learned of the "Vet pets counting for healing badges" thing just a few weeks ago, long after it would've done me any good. I got my Empath badges years ago now. I suppose it's only fitting (or slightly ironic) the Devs actually bothered to fix THAT method. |

it must have been a really really recent patch cause i tried it on one of my alt toons which still needed healing badge like within the last 2-4 weeks and was still getting credit (i think there have only been maybe 2 or so patches since i last tried it and it was still working)

I believe it was either 9/28 or 10/5. I was not, however, checking it on a regular basis.

Either way, I tested it again this morning to verify before I made my post. It's most certainly fixed at this point as far as I can tell.

This change was not in the patch notes, in accord with the official policy of not announcing when they patch exploits.
