Guild Wars 2

Hey I just got back in the game after a few months break. I noticed writ of exaltation are noticeably larger. With that in mind is writ of the merciful a worthwhile trait to use over empowering might when grouping? (my crit chance is 43% if this affects it)

I always take Empowering Might. Having a bit of sustain is good but people usually run out of your Symbols before they can get the full benefit of it so, I think Empowering Might would be a better choice.

Writ of the Merciful is approximately the same healing output as having 3 other people around you while using Empowering Might.

So while solo, it doesn’t hurt to go Writ for better survival, but if you can just man power it down with 1-3 extra might stacks then you don’t need to heal anyway.

Writ also depends on if you have a frequently applying symbol (mace or hammer). If you don’t, then EM all the way, as it would be a loss in healing at that point.

If your goal is to help others, the best way to do that is to layer VoR(battle precence & absolute resolution), Regen, and Writ of Merciful together, as you can maintain about 1000 health a second for up to 5 people that stay in your symbols.

Although, if you are PvEing, common practice is to just dps things down quickly.

They work fine in a dungeon where you clump up on a boss, but the heal is not all that strong.
