Guild Wars 2

Straight healing or heal+support?

I was thinking 3 monk runes and 3 water
its +30% boon duration, +150 healing power
Another is 2 Lyssa and 4 Altruism
+25 prec, +10% condi duration, +75 healing power, +15% boon duration, 3 might on heal

And I would pick apothecary over cleric, you will benefit more from condi dmg.
Don’t buy an exotic set unless you have the money or you want that to be your main build.
There are also Durmand Priory and Karma armors with main stat Healing Power, +prec and vitality if you need a healing set temporarily.

I advise the opposite at least in PvE & WvW. Always choose cleric over apothecary, at least in PvE, since you’ll be dealing with massive damage sponges and condi-damage is less effective in this gamemode due to the caps it has. If you’re planning on supporting for WvW then go ahead, but I’d still advise you to go a mix of cleric and apothecary.

Only for tpvp will this build work with full condi-damage, though I don’t know how those heals would make much of a difference if a party member needs a peel. Even then you wouldn’t need to buy the gear anyway.

This is a thread for another player’s healing build. It might give you some ideas too.

I was just theorycrafting a new build for healing and support. Very similiar to yours

I moved 10 trait points out of explosives into alchemy and since the minor gives you a free elixir B I replaced that with the thumper turret for some extra blast finishers.
I went with power based build because the traits Performance Enhancement and Energized armor give you a decent amount of Power. Also I wanted to stack precision for proc’s and more damage. Not to mention the basic bomb and Acid Bomb scale exceptionally well with power.
Anyway the healing should be phenominal, with AoE burst healing maxxing out at about 16k in ideal conditions, on top of excellent regen ticks and bombs healing for ~300/sec . Hopefully the damage isn’t terrible either.
Most (if not ALL) the support comes in the form of blast combo-finishers, there are 7 total, with combo fields that’s an extra ~10k healing, ~15 stacks of might, ~10 seconds of stealth, ~15 seconds of retaliation. Just not at the same time.
Anywho, I’m seriously thinking of putting this build together, anybody know a NA server with an cleared temple of Lyssa so I can go blow a buttload of karma on Magi Trinkets?
