Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
So I inicially speced my Guard to go with Healway for WvW, and so i got Cleric Trinkets and armor and Ascended GS. My question is are Clerics viable for the classic AH build? I have Soldier Trinkets and Knight Amulet too but right now I only have Cleric armor and GS for WvW. I like Healway but sometimes like to switch and my second option is allways the classic 0/5/30/30/5.

Viable I know it is, I mean if it is close to optimal?

AH doesn’t scale very well with healing power. With 1400+ healing power I believe AH heals for 80ish per boon vs 70ish with 0 healing power. If you want to use AH you might be better off using a different set that doesn’t have healing power as a stat.

Knight and soldiers? or knight soldiers and bit zerkers?
It sucks because I will have to get new armor, weapon and maybe some trinkets :S

Any builds with AH are more geared towards boons. It may seem nice to prioritize healing power but the scaling is horrible for AH and it only really good for your healing skill.

AH doesn’t scale at all with heal power, its 72 foreva

Since every class is getting overbufs over time compared with guardian that even got nerfed on the frist months, and Anet is suposed to nerf boon duration (for what players talk in forum) they could overbuff AH to, since the 3k health isnt passive stats.

Guardian should be the class that makes better use of healing power for personal use (due low health) and have beter surviabillity to protec allies.

All we have is hammer 1 spam and 2 for waterfield. GG

Altruistic healing does scale with healing power. This build editor knows it and I know it,

Didn’t they buff Healing Breeze which absolutely no one uses? (spirit weapons lol).

Nice build, except you can take out clerics and do much better with less healing power. Which makes no sense right? All it serves is to cripple you with you turning into a mobile buffing turret. You are going to hold the majority of the aggro (toughness, lol), and can only hold yourself up as long as you aren’t being steamrolled by mobs (or players in wvw).
Really. Healing power was intentionally made so bad that you could have all the same traits, weapons, and utilities and do better in full zerker.

Pretty much this^, players are mislieded with “placebo” builds and their pseudo efectivness since not all armor stats work or perform well.

Note: players who invest that kitten Healing power should be rewarded for the massive stat sacrifice.

Well yes, but, I didnt start a discussion about the linked build, just wanted to show that AH scales with healing power.

Well it’s about both [AH] and [Clerics] and I just used your build to show as a example of why healing power (clerics gear) is no good with AH and that other gear (with little to no healing power) is more beneficial in the long run.

So in a way you helped.

Till I’m able to craft a Knight or Soldier Ascended GS I will use Healway with what I have.
For AH is it better a mix or Soldier and Knights or Knights Soldier and Zerker?
