My dps is fine, not too worried. These are my stats right now. Pretty much balanced across the board.
with altruistic healing you can definitely have a much more offensive build then that, with a ton of more dps especially since with the right build you crit a lot and crits is one the one best heals you got over time, with vigorous precision and empowering might.
Frankly i never played with so low values in attack, crit, toughness and HP, imo that is a defensive build but im not saying its wrong, its just not my cup of tea.
@lilbeezy
You are preaching to the preacher. Just one thing, knigts infact has higher critrating, more incoming heals, toughness and you can use runes of the soldier for instance which removes condition and then you dont have to use you boons for you but for the team since you can be in the frontline anyway.
The below is ofc in wvw.
And yes virtues is supreme in healing coompared to the shouts. A shout gives 2 boons*AH*5 allies = 10AH in heals, the shout boost 5 persons.
Virtue of justice with inspired virtue traited gives 3 (3might) * AH * x allies and if traited renewed on kill.
Virtue courage gives you 2 boons * Ah * allies and also one AH when on block since you have altruisitc healing, you know might on block.
Virtue of resolve only give you two boons so its on par with the shouts.
Virtues also has greater range then shouts.
Save yourselves gives you 7 boons and nothing to the team so in wvw it only give you 7*AH
The rest of the shouts give you 2*AH*5 and is on par with Virtue of Resolve, retreat also grant might on block so AH-wise retreat is the best shout.
sure you can have 30 points i and get pure of voice and get one more boon on the team and remove one condition that would make the shouts on par with courage and better then resolve and still much worse then virtue of justice.
Add to this that if you have renewed focus then shouts isnt even close but renewed justice also makes the gap huge due to cd and renew on kill.
I dont put 5 points in there for a bunker, i put 5 points in there because it has the same impact as having 4.5 utility slots and and a utility skill with an average cd of 60 which can be renewed by one active skill and by each kill. its great support having 5 points there.
infact having two shouts, hold the line and stand your ground in combination with signet of judgement and inspired virtues is infact more boons on the team and on you then carrying three shouts and not traiting inspired virtues.
If you dont believe me trait inspired virtues, go to cursed shore and get one lonely mob and try it out. You will find that virtue of justice infact is supreme with AH. then go to wvw and check what happen, the difference is huge between the virtues and the shouts.
Btw i also have shouts in my tournebuild, im not saying that they shouldnt be used, just saying healingwise they, virtues, infact do give more heals if traited which was the issue.
Check your numbers, average cd on your shouts and then compare that with average cd on virtues and the number of boons inspired virtue gives you and then you will find that boons thru virtues isnt that bad, infact it adds 1.5 shouts with 60 sec cd without even adding in renewed focus and renewed justice.
Its not one or the other, you can infact have both shouts and traited virtues and still do awesome damage and have awesome tankiness, there are more solutions then yours you know, which btw isnt my cup of tea at all.
Why you are posting bad quality clips when steamrolling pug team (at least based on how bad they were) in tournements is beyond me, i saw nothing i got impressed by or havent seen before.
Conclusion virtus infact do heal for more then shouts.
Altruistic Healing only applies to boons that you apply to yourself, or allies, or both. Might, Swiftness, Retaliation, Vigor, that sort of thing. Passive bonuses you provided to your allies do not activate Altruistic Healing.
