Guild Wars 2

Armor, weapons, accessories, everything. We have so many heals. Is it something that should be used?

The build in question is the cookie cutter 0/10/0/30/30 cantrips bunker.

Let me know what you guys think, share your experiences with what works for you and what doesn’t and in which situations.

Thanks!

all heals and no DPS makes jack a dull boy

I used to run clerics on weapons and accessories for about 970 healing power in total. It’s true that our heals scale really well with healing power (Cleansing wave is 1:1), but even then the returns from healing power kind of suck.

It’s not really useless, but as the poster above me said, you won’t be killing anybody.

If you want to be heavily support, or just survive forever, this can work. However, in most situations our survivability is great without this change. If you use full clerics, you will only kill anything by tickling it to death. Its not very fun hitting like a wet noodle just to stay alive forever. Support-wise though, this can be great!

Awesome feedback thanks guys!

^ This.

I tried it for around a week after running a non Evasive Arcana build and nearly fell asleep a few times! attuning to water/cleansing wave heal for around 2.7k and crit damage is about the same lol.

I’m currently testing out a 0/10/10/20/30 build with 2 clerics armor and 4 clerics trinkets, rest being P/V/T and it’s going great so far.

In tPvP, full Clerics D/D is a nice, mobile, screw you you’re not taking this point machine. You’re pretty kitten good at holding your own against 1v2 and if you’re on a point with a teammate it works even better.

But yes, you do significantly less damage than other D/D specs.

Actually, I think the scaling is horrible given what you sacrifice to obtain healing power. I played with quite a bit for a long time and haven’t looked back once since moving away from it.
