Nothing entirely new, but have been running this spec recently and its giving quite decent direct healing

2.7k every 7 seconds or so in big WvW fights isn’t to be ignored plus you can spam some damage in doing so (although not much sadly)

comments welcome but please keep it civil

If you are mainly going for the healing aspect the Grandmaster Trait that gives you three charges actually slows you down. You said yourself that you are not doing much damage with it so other than the one extra charge on your own personal heal from the heal mantra I would say this trait is actually hurting you.

Scepter is also a far cry from being of any use in WvW or pretty much any aspect of the game in its current state. I would switch to sword. The iLeap from it can give you Chaos armor from your ethereal fields and the blurred frenzy is a nice few seconds of invulnerability which can be very useful when in the middle of a zerg ball.

Also you take the confuse on exit/enter trait for your glamours but are you stacking enough condition damage to even make this worth it? You don’t have any of your gear listed on that link. If you could go and put that up we could give you some better comments.

Actually, if you use a Scepter with MoP, you can guaranteed cast-cancel the third strike every time, giving you a reliable ranged auto attack with an off-hand while spamming MoP.

Additionally, about the Glamour trait, it’s not entirely useful after the nerf to it adding a cooldown. Not to say that it’s bad, but if you’re going solo/small groups, it’s not outstanding, so there can easily be better choices.

Why would he want to cancel the third strike? He doesn’t have hard hitting phantasms. He didn’t take reflect on focus (cause he couldn’t with his current set up because it would replace his mantra medic). Having that one clone replacing every third strike wouldn’t hurt him at all. And since he took the vulnerable on shatter I am assuming is is wanting to shatter a lot and his scepter auto is one of his fastest clone generations hes got.

And actually I would replace your glamour exit/enter skill with the number 5 clones cripple on death. That way you cripple your enemies anytime they kill a clone or you replace a clone which happens a lot with scepter auto and staffs retreat skill.

Also, it doesn’t seem like you are going to be able to stack enough toughness or VIT to be able to really stop moving and raise someone in the middle of a zerg ball. I would replace the feedback on revive with galmour recast down and replace veil with feedback.

OK I take back the switching out of your revive trait but not the switching out of veil for feed back. I took the liberty of assuming you wanted to be max support with this and took your link and made it WvW and added in the armor and runes I would use.

I love hydromancy runes because you are always going to be in the middle of the ball with your healing might as well aoe chill everyone every 9 seconds. The runes let you raise faster to increase your support role.

I still really don’t like your 3 charges for a mantra cause it slows down your healing but if you like it then ok. If you would considering getting rid of it switch out the ten points to inspiration and get focus skills reflect as that will further your ability to support cause you have two more reflects.
