Guild Wars 2

Sup man,

Props for wanting to be a healer. Bomb healing works okay, but what I don’t like is you have to be in melee range, and your bombs only heal those around your bombs (other meleers).

My preference is this build: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/The-Captain-America-Build/first#post1423391

Healing turret doesn’t survive, but it doesn’t need to. You can Drop it, and pick it up for a 16 sec cooldown. Plus, it creates a short water field which gives people around you regen. Combined with the water field from the toolbelt ability, the vent healing mists from the e.g. toolbelt, the super elixir, etc. You can have a lot of regen on yourself and teammates. (Water fields can also be used to do aoe heals with blast finishers) I can keep most groups alive, and the advantage is, I can be anywhere in the battlefield at range dealing damage to the boss, yet throwing heals out as necessary.
