No evidence, just a feeling.
I am healing and rezzing tons of player in forts but when it comes to contribution iam ending up in the 120-159 place and that feels strangely low.
Would a GM mind to check the fort contribution formula if healing actually contributes please?

And while you're at it, check contribution for tanks as well. I'm getting lots of heals on me, I'm guarding lots of damage, eating lots of additional damage, taunt correctly, sacrifice for the group. Same case, ending in 100+.
I have a feeling contribution has a weak formula related mainly to damage dealt and killing blows, which would suck for any other class apart from damage dealers.

Work ram, tank lord and fill your roll. Thats all you need to do. I main a BO tank and i have no issue with bags, as long as i am on time to a siege. Work more.

I have gotten 6 gold bags on my shaman and AM (3 each). All of those times I have been grouped with good aoe dps who also had a high number of killing blows.

Work ram. Check
Tank lord. There's a problem. For me to tank the lord I need to use the +threat tactic, which is a PVE tactic, which means that if u used it before u entered the keep then you didn't quite fill your role as u said. Without the +threat tactic, spamming the taunt, challenge and sunder doesn't allow me to take aggro, or only if I'm the first to tag lord.
Anyway, thanks for the advice!

unless other tank have menace it's possible to tank keep lord w/o it.
every tank have threat generating spammable melee attack. knight's version is Sunder.
spam it with taunt, challenge.
and good mdps to steal his aggro with guard.

fight at the flag. defence flag > taking flag. killing on flag is key. guard/heal dps on flag. outer door funnel is really not a good way for contribution unless your wb killed all of enemies.
