Any tips for Healing Badges? COH

Hi, I searched the forums and could only find tips that looked like they were for City of Villians. I was wondering if there were any tips on how to work on healing badges for COH. I do have an Emp, but was wanting to work on Super Group Healing Badges. Thanks!

There's a bunch of guards near Imperious in Cimiora, I think you can park yourself next to them, put a power on auto, and then head off. I don't recall if healing counts while at full HP, so that might not work.

I don't think many powers will "heal" full health critters and have it count for heal badges. But if you use one of the Rebirth Incarnate abilities with the "+Max HP" quality it'll work like that. The trick is that those powers grant the targets a higher HP total then "heals" them up to that new higher total.

First off. "What server"? That'll help suggest any server-specific events where you can acquire lots of it.

Ship raids, with center-holding duties can be really nice. I have a FF/Arch defender on Protector who's racked up a bunch of healing badges through her Destiny AoE heal. They run every Wednesday Night.

On Freedom, I run a Fire/Rads group every Monday (well, not this Monday as I'm driving down to GenCon this evening). We accumulate healing badges the way little kids seem to acquire dirt.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Using rebirth +hp counts, as Lol mentioned. Also, cant recall who said it, but if you head to Mercy Island, and find the huuuge mob of ararchnos by the hosp, that works great for Rebirth Spam.

Do this: Get all heal badges in 10 hours.

Well I am getting nearly 50 k a cast with Vigor T3 (45% more healing) and a T4 radial +HP. Here is a screenshot... I positioned myself to hit nearly all the mobs. You can see the green rings meaning they are buffed by me.

...except the OP indicated he's blue-side (at least that's the way I read his "COV vs. COH" statement), so this won't work for him unless he changes the toon's alignment to at least Vigilante.

As Von Krieger implied the "Max HP+ Rebirth" trick has been used in Cimerora, which is accessible to any alignment.

It would be faster to go Vigilante and then go to Mercy then it would be to farm it in Cimerora. Its like 20 days vs 8 hours.

I've heard of people farming all of these badges in Cimerora with just a few nights of overnight AFK farming. I've never directly tried it myself (been done with those badges for years) but however long it takes I'm reasonably sure it's not -that- much slower than the Mercy Island options.

More like a "not even a week". My computer can't do more than 80 rebirth uses in a row before crashing (I'm convinced there is a memory leak in the destiny powers), but was able to get the Empath badge in a week on a FF/Ice Controller. If you can convince a MM or two (or even more) to help you, you can speed that up immensely.

I wasn't responding to Von Krieger, though, Lothic.

Right, but both you and Von Krieger were steering the thread towards was how a bluesider could AFK farm with Rebirth. This led the thread towards mentioning the Cimorora alternative, so both posts did apply to my response.
