Guild Wars 2

Hi … recently i browsed around prof. forums and found and interesting
topic : Best healer in game II

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Best-healer-in-game-II/first

basicly its full healer warr which says:
“As we know, GW2 has no “real” healer.Well, I can’t accept that.
So I went to the mysts and made EVERY class, I used EVERY possible build,EVERY rune set,EVERY sigil.
Sadly 12+ hours later, and 44 charts and graphs , I came to this conclusion:
Warrior is by far the best pvp/wvw combat healer.”

“see if a guard can take 20-50+ people + pets and clones beating on him for 18-25 seconds..and NOT die.
I can.”

“As you see, no other class can do even 1% what we can.”

“So much talk from the kiddies, STILL NO VIDEOS.”

as u can see in last sentence he would like to see some vids. from other classes how u can heal or outheal warr … personaly i think its wrong to ask for proofs about other classes than warr healing in warr forum only so im gonna post this on every class forum ( xcept warrs ofc ) and hope that reasoning there will be far better when other skilled supports add their thoughs

thx vm

I just read that thread and it’s … erm. Controversial. The OP did a rather poor job of getting her message across and came off as really snobbish.. And not entirely correct.

Heres the snip that really got to me:
Stats and numbers for the number people:
Depending on exact setup ( based on my group):
I have 2200ish-50 000 hit points,3200-5000 armor, up to 2019 heal power, up to 2000 condition damage,17 seconds of defy pain/Block..and I self regen 900-1166 per tick full time.My self heal is 10.5-12.5k.Dropping me is not easy.

Heals :new trick at bottom I can AOE regen 900 range 333-409 a tick NON stop always+ buffs that come with flags. ( never ending)OR I can AOE shout heal 600 ranage+cure+buff instantly 9000 about every 20 sec.( again, based on whats best for group makeup.)"

I don’t know about Guardians but Elementalists and Mesmer can outdo that. Hell, with that much healing power my build could do that in half the time. The defense and tankiness is, of course, a warrior specific deal but in terms of raw healing and area support we can definitely match that.

That fact that this post claims to have tried “EVERY build” leads me to think that he’s trolling. Mesmers can do well in a support role, but it tends to be more focused around preventing damage in the first place than healing it up later. It’s like comparing a prot monk vs heal monk in GW1. Both can be effective in the right hands.
