• PvP Valor Ranks, Medals and Titles list [Updated]

    [UPDATED for Patch 1.3]

    Valor Rank is the system implemented by Bioware as a method for distributing PvP rewards and titles (such as crafted Battlemaster / War Hero / Rated War Hero gear, Longspur Recon mount. etc). Valor XP can be obtained from Warzones and Open World PvP.

    Medals

    Completing some achievements during a Warzone, will award you with medals. The first 8 Medals are now worth 250 Valor and 5 Commendations each. Players earn Valor and Commendations only for the first 8 Medals (2000 Valor / 40 Commendations in total).











    For each battle, you earn a ranking:

    - The Gold ranking is awarded for earning 14 or more medals during a match
    - The Silver ranking is awarded for 8-13 medals
    - The Bronze ranking is awarded for 1-7 medals

    You can see how many medals you have while playing a Warzone by checking your buffs (you can't see what medals, just how many).



    Here is the medals list:

    Dauntless I - 10 Minute Victory
    Dauntless II - 9 Minute Victory
    Dauntless III - 8 Minute Victory
    Dauntless IV - 7 Minute Victory
    Dauntless V - 6 Minute Victory
    Dauntless VI - 5 Minute Victory
    Demolisher - 2.5k Damage Single hit
    Annihilator - 5K damage from a single attack
    Combatant - 75k Damage Dealt
    Destroyer - 300k Damage Dealt
    Commando - 10 Kills
    Soldier - 25 Kills
    Quick Draw - 1 Killing Blow
    Assassin - 1 Solo Kill
    Shield - 5k Defense
    Protector - 50k Defense
    Guardian - 2k Defense in 1 Life
    Paladin - 10k Defense in 1 Life
    Healer - 75k Healed
    Savior - 300k Healed
    Medic - 2.5k Single Heal
    Trauma Surgeon - 5k Single Heal
    Offense Basic - 1k Attacker Points
    Offense Bronze - 3k Attacker Points

    Defense Silver - 5k Defender Points
    Defense Gold - 7.5k Defender Points
    Defense Platinum - 10k Defender Points
    Defense Diamond - 15k Defender Points


    Titles

    Every 10 levels of Valor Rank will give you a title. There are 100 Valor Ranks, therefore we have 10 titles:

    Skirmisher – Valor Rank 10
    Duelist – Valor Rank 20
    Gladiator – Valor Rank 30
    Centurion – Valor Rank 40
    Champion – Valor Rank 50
    Battlemaster – Valor Rank 60
    War Hero – Valor Rank 70
    Conqueror – Valor Rank 80
    Warlord – Valor Rank 90
    Elite Warlord – Valor Rank 100

      I think I'm at rank 26, just hit 50 sun. night (well morning) and have been going hard on PvP and Ilum with the dailies and pvp dailies/weekly's to get as many champion bags as I can and have managed to get 5 pieces of champ gear. With me and 1 other guy in my guild being the only 50's atm due to people being busy during the holidays its really hard for me to find groups to run FP's so I have decided getting PvP gear is the best way to get geared for hardmodes and what not. Plus I'm actually having a blast with PvP in this game, I just wish it wasn't always hutt ball. I enjoy hutt ball but I really enjoy the other ones as well, plus its more fun battling against the opposing faction more so than your own.

      Indeed, Huttball pops like 80% of the time. The sad part is that you can receive the same item again ... Anyways, after rank 60, you go for the Battlemaster ones, it will be like a breath of fresh air

      Question, what is Defense?
      Shield - 5k Defense
      Protector - 50k Defense
      Guardian - 2k Defense in 1 Life
      Paladin - 10k Defense in 1 Life

      I notice my tank friend gets a decent score in it. Is there any way I can score defense as a Sage/sorc?

      Also, how are defender points determined? Is it killing the ball carrier in hutt ball?

      Also, is there a way to check the score board in a BG before it is over?

      Yeah, you need to defend objectives to get defender medals. For example in Alderaan, if you are staying and defending those turrets you will get defender points. I'm a Sorcerer and I usually get 1k def and 3k def medal there.
      In Voidstar, you have to defend the gates. Same, if you stay close to the objective you will get defender points / medals.
      For Huttball, it seems that you get defender points when you are killing an enemy ball carrier near the score line.

      Oh, and to answer your other question, no, you can't get those as a sorc/sage that I know of.

      You get those buy using the "guard" ability on another player. It redirects 50% of the damage they take to you instead. That way you can actually "tank" while doing pvp and be useful when escorting the ball carrier in Hutt Ball.

      There is no medal at 50 kills. Just made 60 kills and the only medals for kills were the 10 and 25 ones.

      What's the point of Bronze, silver and gold rankings if you don't get a bonus for getting gold?

      There is also a medal for a damage in a single hit for 5k - Annihilator 5k dmg hit.

      Don't forget you can taunt or AOE taunt to get the Defense medals as well. Taunting someone or a group of people in PVP will put a debuff on them making them do less damage to eveyrone except the tank that taunted them.

      Nice guide. I never was much of a PVP player in other mmos, but I love it in this game!

      few thoughts.

      it bothers me how much pvp focuses on, encourages or promotes selfish play. its no wonder thats what they get - their design pushed it.

      i enjoy playing well as a team. i enjoy the cooperation and the coordination and the communication. so very little of this is encouraged or supported by the current pvp design or setup.

      about all they do and maybe can do is what they are doing - giving rewards for primarily individual achievements.

      but couldnt they give big points/rewards/perks to teams that win? couldn't, just for an example, they SEVERELY diminish the points etc. earned for losing? easy fix and wouldnt that alone greatly encourage players to play for TEAM objectives and do all those things TEAMS (rather that just individuals) need to do to win? (i.e. cooperate, coordinate, pass the dang ball, etc?

      i'm happy theyre paying attention to and tweaking pvp. but i think theyre pushing it in the wrong direction. (although the not giving points to ppl who do squat is in the right direction.)

      then again maybe we should take the words in pvp literally. its player vs player not team vs team.

      so you are saying now we cant earn more than 40 coms, is that right? havent done WZ more than once since lvl50 as im rocking ilum trying to get some bags from that first lol as i got owned on my one WZ post 50

      You can get more than 40 commendations - it depends if you win / lose, how long the WZ lasted or if you get MVP votes at the end of the WZ ... You can get up to around 110 Warzone Commendations in 1 game.
