Guild Wars 2

Hi, i’m a guardian and planning to build supportive/tanky guardian so im looking to increasing Healing Power a lot.

Just wondering, does Healing Power will affect these following skills/traits/HP Regen ?

- Virtue of Resolve passive effect : Regenerates Health
- Mace 3rd attack : Faithful Stike
- Shield of Absorption -> Detonate
- Valor trait line -> Major Perk 30 – XI : Altruistic Healing (applying boons to allies heals you)
- Honor trait line -> Minor Perk 15 : Selfless Daring (the end of your dodge roll heals nearby allies)
- Honor trait line -> Major Perk 20 – X : Writ of the Merciful (all symbols heal allies)
- Honor trait line -> Major Perk 30 – XII : Battle Presence (nearby allies gains Virtue of Resolve passive effect)

Sorry if anyone made this topic before, but i already looking for it and it seems no one asking this.

Thank you very much

- Virtue of Resolve passive effect : Regenerates Health

Yes

- Mace 3rd attack : Faithful Stike

Not sure. Dont use mace. Would think so though.

- Shield of Absorption -> Detonate

It did last time i used it.

- Valor trait line -> Major Perk 30 – XI : Altruistic Healing (applying boons to allies heals you)

Not sure.

- Honor trait line -> Minor Perk 15 : Selfless Daring (the end of your dodge roll heals nearby allies)

Never used it but i would think so.

- Honor trait line -> Major Perk 20 – X : Writ of the Merciful (all symbols heal allies)

Yes
- Honor trait line -> Major Perk 30 – XII : Battle Presence (nearby allies gains Virtue of Resolve passive effect)
Yes.

In addition to the post above, healing power also affects Altruistic Healing and selfless Daring

Very helpful answers I will ask no more and i will build my supportive guardian as soon as possible, just dinged 80 lol.

Thanks so much SiNoS and Telegraph

Are you by chance on Sorrow’s Furnace?

Nope, im on Sea of Sorrows Why?

Just some general info here from testing. The dodge roll heal is the best scaling heal ive found. I had it go from 300 and change to about 1430 with all cleric gear in the mists. Been meaning to theory craft a build around vigor and the roll. Or maybe even something cross class for dungeons. Needing vigor and dont want to spec into prec to get it from our trait line.

Edit: BTW yes they all scale from your post. One ive found that does not = spirit bow heal. Its always 96 at 80. Altruistic scales very little. Like 8 pts with max heal gear.

As a rule of thumb ive found.. the abilities that ONLY heal you, usually scale the worst. Through each class ive tested.

Since we are here.
Whats the scaling on monks focus??

Greatsword grandmaster trait, that one that heals you per gs attack, only heals for 125, no matter what.

hmm so is altruistic healing not worth fully speccing that line? just wondering now as i’m closing in on 65… just thinking ahead))

I found Altruistic Healing rediculously useful. I run a symbols based support/tank build and in a lot of situations I would imagine Altruistic Healing actually does more overall healing over time than Monk’s Focus. Using Empower in the middle of a group in WvW with Altruistic Healing is insane. Every tick of a symbol that affects allies also heals you, ALL your shouts heal you, if you have 5 points in Virtues, ALL your virtues heal you (These situations are, of course, when you have allies around). Popping Resolve in the middle of a zerg is like, half my health bar.
If you’re more of a soloer, Monk’s Focus might make more sense, however, if you’re using Empowering Might with Altruistic Healing, you’re also turning crits into self heals!
