As the topic says. Why does a lot of Healing gear have Precision added to it when you can’t crit your heals? So that stats you can chose for armor are ether
Clerics, Healing , Power, toughness.
Magi Healing, Precision, Vitality and
Apothecary Healing, Toughness, Condi dmg.
Why is there no Healing, Toughness, Vitality armor? This also goes for your trinkets.

Because everyone in GW2 is expected to be able to do damage.

From the 6 sets that have healing power only 1 have precision (excluding celestial) … so yeah, not sure what the problem is.

EDIT: A set where none of the attributes is damage oriented is really weird and the game is just not designed for that.

Because they don’t want anyone pushing towards making “tanks” and/or “healers”. Granted you could make the argument that its only your armor, that you are in fact traiting your attributes more aggressively to balance it out, but the likelihood of someone abusing it and pushing for pure bunker means that we will probably never see any gear set for Healing, Toughness, Vitality.

Part of the reason may be that someone might choose runes and sigils that heal on crit? The old Water sigil used to be on-crit.

Wait a minute. You’re telling me that heals don’t crit? That is beautiful.

Yep, that’s what I want too. But it would probably be a broken stat for pvp/wvw
