Why Don't Healers Get Assists/Battle-High Stacks in Frontlines?

I forget exactly what affects what, but I definitely find it easiest to get Battle High on(in order): WHM > AST > SGE > SCH. Pretty much any jobs with decent AoE's are going to be the king of getting assists just like BLM or DRG, and why WHM with both Assize and Misery plus the vuln up from Dia are really strong in Frontlines. I assume it's made this way to not have healers get Battle High crazy fast by simply AoE heal spamming. The best way for you, or any job, to get points for Battle High is to cleave as many people as possible with your damage AoE's and hope for kills. We will have to see what persists and what changes with the major PVP changes coming sometime in 6.1.

Yeah when I first started getting into WHM FL I drastically underestimated the power of assize. Knowing what I know now about the Dia damage+, that's gonna help me out a lot for my Misery targets.

Also worth mentioning that every Lily in Frontlines comes with a regen attatched to it. Which is technically a buff applied to a target, which means you are entitled to every kill that person makes as an assist for the duration of the buff. And the regen buff lasts about as much as it takes for you to get a Lily back (Not to mention it REALLY helps on frontline sustain). So use the Area when your Alliance is around and spread the Single when it's an off-alliance target, and enjoy the Assist BHs.
