Q:
Quick question
As a guy who has a ele and druid, i can say that druids 3 healing skill can burst heal as much as a ele using ALL its healing skills and traits. And druid has more than 8 healing skill.
Sure, you can camp water, use food, get appropriate stats and heal your team for a decent amount with ele, but a druid will always outheal your healing and will give up to %35 damage bonus to 5 members of your team. So no, never go healele, unless your team specifically requires condi cleanse, which is something that druid can do as well but ele does it slightly more easily.(a skilled druid with communications with his/her team will cleanse better than the ele though, as it has more condi clear capacity)

Healing with ele would be best done with staff, you will heal more than 650 hp per autoattack. Skill 3-5 would be used when more healing is required, skill 5 being used to cleanse condis would be better. Utilities, heal and elite skill should be all shouts except eye of the storm. Auras would heal for 800-1100, and traited water heal would heal about 200-300 per second.
I’ll let someone else to do the druids numbers. Because honestly, druid heals more than 7k with a single skill, and i dont want to do THAT much math…
I hope you get my point
I have to partly disagree with Kurt. Tempest is better at raw healing by a fair margin. It doesn’t have any damage buffs whatsoever though, which is why it’s the less popular choice.
On a fully specialised healing tempest, these are some ballpark numbers. 12k wash the pain away, 2.5k per aura, 400 regen ticks, 600 soothing mist ticks, 7.5k water overload, 6k geyser, 4k healing ripple, 1200 water jet.
Your dps would be effectively zero, but the healing is pretty nuts.
Druid’s burst healing is right about the same, with CA 3 and 4 healing for 7.5k and 11k respectively, but outside of CA they’ll fall off quite steeply.
