Guild Wars 2

I really want to go Blood Magic spec, but i noticed that when i add healing power, none of the tooltips for siphons from minions change…

And I have looked all over the net and cannot find an answer…

Does Healing Power effect siphoning from myself OR for minions?

with a 1k+ healing power investment your life leeches will benefits 1 or 0 points
your life siphon will heal an extra 40 hp a second or 360 health total. blood thirst is the only thing that makes these terrible heals even scale up.

so with a full blood line and blood thirst your getting a crappy 2.7k health after 3 seconds of channeling or 3kish with a 1k+ investment.

warriors heal 4-5k+ with no almost no investment using shouts and have almost 3k+ more healing on their highest heal utility

Guardians heal 6-8k+ with staff heals, utilties, and what I beleive is called meditation or shout healing. they also share the highest heal utility

thieves can leech something like 200 per hit off of any hit including conidition and multi hit attacks.

elementalist get 100s of healing per chain spam of their skills and can burst with water healing

I would argue we battle engies, rangers, and mesmers for the worst healing available. My bet would still be on the other classes because at least they aren’t channeling a sub par heal to stay in the same heal bracket.

So a healing Necro for party support is just not Viable.

You can keep the regeneration from Mark of Blood indefinitely on multiple allies (I do this for my minions as much as possible) and it is a pretty good heal (that does damage) even if you don’t have healing. Life transfer + Transfusion is also a very good on demand AoE heal (that again does substantial damage). Well of Blood isn’t too shabby either. I spec my gear +power/toughness/+healing power (any Cleric’s gear) and I use the same skills that I use to keep my minions up to keep party members alive.

I’d say necros have less large heals because of how much regen we have with traits like Vampiric and Vampiric Master. Vampiric Master heals you for a HUGE amount over time, and though not every Necro will be using minions they need to balance the classes overall.

At this point it is better to support with skills such as Well of Power or Plague Signet+Deathly Swarm.
