Q:

Like the title says, I want to make a bomb healer and wasn’t sure what bombs scale best with. Is it better to go pistol/shield and stack conditions or do the bombs hit hard enough to go power and take the rifle?

Any other suggestions on such a build are welcome as well

It would be easier to get some opinions if you would let us know what ya wann do with ur toon – pve/wvw ?

This is what i´ve tried out in Dungeons and it was a lot of fun for me. TB Skills are really good AoE Regen. Boons can be up ( mainly for regen) to 60% (80% with food ) what makes the TB regen powerful as a standalone.

EG for support ( Heal / condi remove) and you can swap for p/s – mainly for the Blastfinisher on #4. So you can blast ur waterfield n Heal Turret even more – Maybe give it a try ?

Oh right, sorry. Mostly for PvE (dungeons/fractals) and some WvW. I was thinking exactly the same utilities, and yea shield for the blast finisher for both the heal and the stealth from the smoke bomb.

I’m thinking the weapon choice will decide armor so I think I’ll try Apothecary to keep the p/s. I’ll give it a go and report, but any more input is welcome.
