Guild Wars 2

I´m curious if the healing aspect of the tome skills also heals the Firebrand himself. For Example:

Chapter 1: create a wave of healing for your allies
Chapter 2: cleansing condis on nearby allies. Allies are healed for each condi removed
Chapter 4: heal allies and grant them swiftness

The description seems pretty clear about it. However there are numerous skills that have the same description but also apply healing to the guard himself ( e.g Shield of Absorption, Faithful Strike, etc. ). On the other Hand there is the Trait “Communal Defenses” wich grants allies aegis if you block an attack ( this however does only apply to your ally )

What are your Opinions about it?? I really hope Firebrand can heal himself with the tome skills too, so we finally don´t have to use medis to survive ( at least in theory xD )

Dont think so, be happy if yxou can cast one of those 3/4 skills until you are cc’ed to death cause you dont have active blocks on firebrand at all.
