Guild Wars 2

To start of I’m not entirely sure where to post this as it has healing power and dungeon topics involved.

As a guardian, I enjoy gimping myself to play the cleric/magi roll ninja and help heal the group and to also dish out boons with crits. Now what gets me is the scaling of healing power and that it “hits DR after 500 points”. I think with the new waypoint system that is now in place healing power is now much more of a game changer that it previously was as your team now needs to keep focus on staying alive.

My suggestion is to buff healing power as it hits a greater number and reduce it for the lesser. Meaning if you want to be a healer/support player you should spec your gear into the role while still maintaining a fair advantage over those who just stand in the shallow end and reap all the benefits.

I’d also like to point out the shocking range of the guardians dodge to heal mechanic. The range should be tied to the amount of healing power you have, so more healing power = more range = more effectiveness and you don’t have to position yourself out of combat only to dodge back into combat to make it work. Take a look at alpha in CoE for example. That is a dodging frenzy but impossible to pull off effective healing as everyone is dodging away from you.

My 2 cents. Please don’t outcast us players that want to play as a support/healer role. Our lack of damage should not gimp us in other departments. This also applys to non-meta builds such as guardians who prefer to not use greatsword/hammer.

Dinkle-

I completely agree. Healing power should benefit the player greatly if they want to invest into it. On the other side however, it would require a complete rework of how healing skills scale off healing power. Nevertheless, if people (ranger support here in pve) want to invest into healing power they should be rewarded as such. Not 10k heal but it should feel impressionable.
