Hi guys.
I did this build and I want to share to you. I’m not really a big fan of Healing Power becouse of the scaling -1500 of HP increases an average of 23% the base heal, except for Regeneration, that is 144% (which encouraged me to try this build) – but with heavily Regeneration works somehow. This build works very well on WvW (zergs) and maybe small groups.
Highlights:
- Heavy Tank;
- Heavy Support;
- Average Damage.
Analysis:
WEAPON CONFIGURATION:
Since this build focus on heavy Regeneration, the best weapon for this is mace, with high boon duration (~50%) can set perma Regenaration without Writ of Persistence (with hold the line). Also the #1 and #3 apply some (not very much) support and have a good dmg (burst).
For off-hand you can use a shield, focus or torch:
- (1st option) Shield is the best weapon for support: You’ll give protection, have CC, 4 secs AoE range immunity and maybe a 1500 heal. Also you’ll get 61 of armor. The downside is the trait slot you’ll be used tothe mace instead, but you can use for the shield if you want.
- Focus can be used to remove conditions and another way to get Regeneration. The downside is the #5 that have a heavy CD and is not for support.
- Torch can be used to remove very often the conditions of allies and have the better DPS overall than the counterparts. The downside is #4 which is not for support and the #5 is channeled and cannot be use to remove cond. from yourself.
As second set you can use Hammer or Staff:
- (1st option) The staff is heavy support oriented and allows to atk at range, since your 1st set will be most melee.
- The Hammer can be good with CC and protection.
HEAL, UTILITY AND ELITE:
As Heal you can use any healing that fits your play style.
In utilities, “Stand Your Ground” provides a Stun breaker and stun immunity. “Hold the Line”, both Regen and Protec. And the 3rd you can use Wall of Reflection, which is awesome in WvW (you become nearly immortal with AH, and if you play “correct”), or you can use another skill that adjust to your play style.
For Elite you can use any utilite that adjust to your play style (Even Renewed Focus is support, becouse it allows you to use virtues more often).
TRAITS:
You can go 0/0/30/30/10 or 0/0/20/30/20:
- (1st option) The 0/0/30/30/10:
VALOR – is good for more DPS (30% crit dmg) and tank (both armor and AH). In the slots you can use: 1st – Purity (preferentially) or Strenght In Numbers; 2nd – Mace of Justice (preferentially) or Honorable Shield; and 3rd – Altruistic Healing.
HONOR – provide Healing power and vitality and the best traits. In the slots you can use: 1st – Writ of Exaltation (preferentially) or Superior Aria; 2nd – Empowering Might (preferentially), Writ of Persistence or Two-handed Mastery (if you use the staff as main set and/or hammer); 3rd – Pure of Voice (preferentially), Battle Presence or Writ of Merciful (if you use Writ of Persistence).
VIRTUES – Provides boon duration and little (only 10% in this case) recharge time to virtues. For the slot you can use: Master of Consecrations (preferentially) or Vengeful (if not using any consecration).
This build focus on all highlights (heavy support, tank and average DPS).
- In 0/0/20/30/20 you’ll use the same traits, but Absolute Resolution as the 2nd slot of Virtues. This build focus on another way to remove conditions and boon duration, but you lose AH.
EQUIPAMENT:
Since the focus is Heavy Support/Tank with average DPS this build maximizes every thing. Chaged quartz jewel in the thinkets slots does not reduce too much the healing power, but add power, precision, armor and mainly, crtical dmg.
For sigils you can replace the Superior Sigil of Accuracy in the Mace for Blood (deals dmg and heal) or Water (but have too long CD).
For runes you can use Boon duration ones (3-3 or 2-2-2) or Soldier for condition removal.
NOTES:
I’m not a big fan of Writ of Merciful becouse it heals too little. For self heal, even EM heals more, but can add a “little” more support, and with Writ of Persistence works better.
