Guild Wars 2

In any game mode, whether PvE, PvP or WvW? Did you even notice it?

I specced into full cleric/monk runes healbot mode and did a fair whack of healing during some SM sieges and in PvE boss fights (blasts of 5k HP heals to multiple allies, high regen, lots of condi removal, blast finishers etc). I asked in the game if anyone found it useful but either nobody noticed as they were too busy DPS-ing or they said “no”.

I did feel like Druid healing wasn’t as good as we thought it was going to be. I think they need to make healing scale better with healing stats and improve Celestial Avatar skill 1.

In PvP and Roaming WvW yes, I ran the majority of the weekend with a Druid and I was playing Rev. The two classes worked very well together, at one point in WvW we fought about 10 players vs just the 2 of us, we didn’t win but we did manage to kill 3 of them and we didn’t die easily. Holding points together in PvP was fun, so many heals and boons flying around, it was hilarious.

I didn’t get to experiment with much more than that.

wasnt worth it to me honestly, testing everything in full cleric… coefficient was meaningless… not even worth building healing power

They are apparently looking at changing this, but as it stands right now just go zerker on Druid. You’ll still heal insane numbers and do some DPS. All that healing gear is worthless in the meantime.

I’ll add that I believe my Druid partner was wearing Celestial Armor his jewelry, runes, and weapons weren’t celestial but I don’t know what he was running for them. According to him he found 7-800 Healing power was the sweet spot, anything more was a minimal difference.

I played zerker LB + Sword Spotter meta ranger with Beast Mastery traded for Druid.

It was a rough start, but once I got the timing down, the heals were quite nice and effective in the raid. It would be nice to have a few other group support options, but as far as pure heals go: Any decent Druid, no matter what stat combo, should be an asset to their team and themselves.
