PvP healer = mender’s

PvE healer = magi’s

WvW healer = minstrel’s

As far as I know, ele in PvP is almost always played as a healer. In WvW they can be zerg healers or tanky damage dealers as roamers. In PvE, metabattle lists a staff raid healer, but I believe most groups prefer to bring ele as a damage dealer and leave the healing to classes that can still get the job done but provide better damage/support in the process.

For wvw if you want to just be a pure healer but can’t afford minstrels armor. Nomads with minstrel trinkets and weapons also works. staff, dagger/warhorn, or dagger/focus all work well in a healing role. For runes go trooper theres no reason to use any other rune set on ele right now.

For traits go either
Water: Top/Mid/Mid or Top
Earth: Bottom/Mid or Bottom/Top or bottom
Tempest: Bottom/Mid/Bottom

In Water for the third trait take the middle one if you aren’t facing much condi just direct damage. Take the top trait if you’re having trouble with conditions and need more cleanse.

In Earth for the second trait if you find yourself getting stuck and immobilised, chilled, or crippled a lot and falling behind take bottom otherwise go middle. For the third trait same as water, if you have trouble with conditions take the top trait if you’re dieing to lots of direct damage take the bottom trait.
