Guild Wars 2

I think healing Seed need be buffed.

Healing Seed does very little for support heals and is lacking when you need your own self heal to stay up, hight cd 45seconds and it can be destroyed very easy, al ltimes you cast mobs come and with 2 hits healing seed is gone.

I think Healing Seed need work like healing spring, cant be destroyed and more faster cd.

I love the skill but cant use because is too weak.

All racial skills are—by design—weaker than class skills. This is so that no player gets a significant advantage over another based on what race he/she chose. The racial skills are there for flavor. Keeping this in mind, I am glad that it is weaker than the alternatives.

I think all racial skills should be reviewed honestly. There’s no point in a bunch of useless skills. Only a handful of races have one or two skills they use, the rest are ignored. Would be nice if they could be made into something tactical. Should also be displayed at character creation to get an idea of what each race offers.

Healing Seed would be fine if it were either immune to damage altogether, or at the very least had its aggro dropped signifigantly. Its silly that the second you drop the thing, 9 times of out 10 enemies will immedietly target and destroy it. I could totally get behind a heal thats almost purely gradual if the thing ever actually stood long enough to heal any decent amount.

A bit of a cooldown reduction would also be nice. Healing Turret functions somewhat similarly to Healing Seed (but much better) and is on a 20-second cooldown, so why is Healing Seed so darn high? Unless it becomes invulnerable, I’d say a 25 second cooldown at the most.

As for the whole “racial skills are supposed to be lackluster” thing… yes, they’re supposed to be somewhat worse than profession skills. But Healing Seed is not somewhat worse, its downright terrible. And considering the Human healing racial is actually pretty decent and arguably better than some of the profession heals, I don’t see why Healing Seed needs to be so awful.

Translation : the racial skills are useless by design. I don’t think it’s a very good design though :/

When i created my sylvari i want use all racials with plant/ flowers but is impossible use healing seed, when i cast enemies immedietly target and destroy it….. and 40s cd to be destroyed instantly very insane!!!!

Reduce the agroo, increase the Hp of healing seed, or make it invunerable.

I wouldn’t call ALL racials useless its just a matter of how and when to use them

I use outhers sylvari skills, like sumon fernhound, sumon the turrets and root, but healing seed is crap XD

and i forget it isn’t 40s cd it is 45s cd u.u… i fixed the original topic.

A very long cd for heal.

should definitely be fixed. What is the point of all these worthless skills? I tried to viably use healing seed….it should be immune to damage as pointed out above.

I don’t know about any of you people, but I use the full gambit of norn transformation skills on a daily basis. Sometimes becoming a bear is the obvious solution to all your problems, sometimes you have to become the snow leopard.
