Recently I came across AddiktGaming’s video guide for elementalist , where he prioritize healing power over toughness and power and his build is something like this :

I tested it in sPvP / tPvP, sadly the Valkyrie amulet only give us 13k hp, but still with 600+healing power, I manage survive pretty well and perform much better than the standard celestial build…

so I was wondering if this build would work well in the WvW environment. some suggestion and comments would be greatly appreciated!

The build linked gives 442 healing power from gear (300 of it comes from the water trait line, so you would have that regardless)

442 healing power adds

55 extra hp/s to regeneration
221 extra hp/3s to soothing mist
442 extra healing when attuning to water through healing ripple
442 extra healing when you cast cleansing wave or dodge with evasive arcana
44 extra healing per spell cast with signet of restoration
221 extra healing when using signet of restoration

Individually it’s not much, but it will add up over a longer fight. So if you find that extra healing suits your playstyle more than extra effective hp or damage, I don’t think anyone can say you’re wrong.

442 healing seems weak.

Also, some have argued that healing power doesn’t amount to squat since the multiplier (coefficient) is so low.

For the Toast!

like 100% of squat is still squat.

also, I don’t seem to be getting killed faster at soldiers ascended armor than clerics exotic.

you get killed in clerics exotic…. how is that even possible? When I went full clerics bunker build I was able to survive an onslought of 5 people in tpvp for 6 minutes before a backstab got me. (I was somewhat lucky with my opponents though, I hardcountered all of ’m).

Anyways, the usefullnes of healing power only comes to show based on what healing signet you use and what build you’re running. If y’r trying to stay above 90% hp for runes of scholar, dmg trait in water and the earth grandmaster immunity to conditions then having a boosted passive heal from signet of restoration is vital to your build.
If you’re going for sustained dps having attleast some healing power will up your battle potential, you could fight 2 instead of 1 effectively.

The idea is that healing can help top up your group too, you’re losing out on a personal stat to help others.
