Guild Wars 2

Disappointing. Thank you anet!

Really, the cast time for the heal kills any viability it may have. Why choose it over shelter?

I didn’t even unlock it but by judging by the stream they held a few days ago it won’t really hold a candle vs shelter, which can be especially good for DPS guards given #25 in Valor (1 might per block). If the cast time was reduced it’d go great with meditation builds – ARGH!

Total garbage, waste of 25 skill points

Only tried it in PvP so far. It is indeed a very kittenty heal in PvP.

I suppose it will only work in zerg combat. But I honestly don’t know why we should change to that heal when the current ones are far better in many more situations.

I’d rather have 25 superior arrow carts

Crap. Why can’t we have a cool active signet like signet of malice or something? Oh wait we have health regen… (anet’s view) but wait again, the passive effect of virtues is garbage so please give us something useful apart from shelter

give us back the option to make it instant:D

As expected.

It’ll need to be instant, as some others have stated above.

With so low base healing, good luck receiving 20% healing back from AOE damage..before you die from opponent’s group retaliation!

lol I thought that was obvious.

I’m enjoying it a lot with med builds. You just need to know when to use it correctly.

It’s a great heal to use with med a build. Without a med build then I agree it’s not that good. Also this isn’t like Shelter or SoR were u pop it at the last second, you have to know when to use it. If you use it at the right moment it’s very powerful.

I’m trying to understand exactly what you mean. When do you feel the right time is? Pre casting it before a fight seems to be adverse to its purpose, since pre casting it before engaging means you are at full hp.

Casting it while in battle is very risky, a one second casting time and then you have to make up all of that lost hp by landing blows. Preferably aoe, since single target damage doesn’t restore enough health.

What are your thoughts exactly?

Regardless of how many meditation traits you take, the skill itself is a mess. Too easily countered, smallest base heal in the game, not even on a short cd and of course it’s a skill that requires you to be constantly on your target which the Guardian profession has the biggest issue with.

I wouldn’t precast it since it still has about a base 4k heal with meds. It’s just like SoR, yes it’s risky to cast in a fight. However it pays off. This is one of those risk vs rewards things which is why I like it. If you do your burst correctly you’ll be rewarded, if you mess up or just get out played you’re punished.

People on this forum really need to play around with it some more before judging it so hastily. I can easily see this being the go to heal for a med build. It’s the lowest CD heal with some of the highest healing potential.

Total trash. In pvp it’s a giant “CC ME OR RUN AWAY FOR 5 SECONDS!” sign. In pve you won’t be dps spec AND valor spec unless you’re bad at the game.

It really is garbage.

it’s the “mesmer’s update” guys, you should prolly roll one or take yours out of the shelf now
