Is it worth switching to healer?

First, i apologize to all my mates for the noobie healer I am until I figure out this boat.

I've only dropped about 200 infamy so far but that may continue. :-/. I am not doing this to be a seal clubber. Honest!

I have to say the stars given to healer sucks. LOok at this result. I sat behind this guy healing him to a draw and he gets the star and I get nothing. :-/

Come on. Why? I worked my butt of to get this result and nothing of a reward. What am I suppose to do as a healer to get better stars?

 

What was your maximum / peak infamy? Like, ever..

The algorythm is based on that, not season best...

 

Well, how Fixers earn stars is still a mystery to me. I mean, u did a lot of healing and still got zero stars is BS, but it was a Draw so can't say.
Fixer should always earn stars, based on how much they healed and helped their teammates.

 

My experience playing as a fixer is that you can't heal only one guy in the team, but rather you should be able to keep the team alive ( in case you are saying that that was the only guy left then you haven't done your job as a healer with 3 of your teammates dead)
Secondly there is no skill involved in healing with pulse since you just press the button and people are healed in a radius. Although box and repair bolt require quite a bit of skill to use properly.
Finally the damage done during the match is also taken into account as contribution by the fixer for the 3 Rd star. I have 3 stars when I have damaged the unfriends for 2000+ damage and healed and kept my team alive.
These are my observations playing as a fixer main

 

1438 is highest infamy

Here is another 1 star reward. I don't know how much was healing myself. I was taking damage driving into the fray to heal my team

 

wow. Maybe I am starting I to get better at this. This is encouraging to get three stars. I worked hard but I think I still need to get better.

Nitro is kind of retarded when backing up. I thought it would help me back up faster. Lol. Try it some time when backing up.

 

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
plenty of skill required to use a pulse. Called timing and positioning. Getting as many together as possible is hard work.

 

For starters, it was a draw. You won't get much star distribution in a draw.

 

A Epic Pulse and a Epic Nitro? Dang!
I recommend going around different teammates, using that Nitro to get to them quicker while avoiding Torps and Morts.

 

I second this strongly.

 

I just did a quest run using healer. Man this boat takes a lot more attention than a shooter. and I lost about 400 to 500 infamy. Ya! i sucked that bad. Time to get my shooter out of dry dock and start seal clubbing my way back up.

 

In terms of farming stars & gold it is absolutely not worth it (that is my experience anyway).

In terms of reaching higher infamy it is probably the best boat at mk4/5. In particular at mk5, where a Fixer has a much easier time being relevant when matched up with (and against) the top players.
