Guild Wars 2

Hey all, I’m thinking of playing a Healer build for WvW (small group roaming and zerg vs zerg) but wanted to know if anyone has tried it and whether it is viable before I throw the gold in.

If anyone has tried it or can theory craft, could you post a viable healer build here?
Also should such a build be played backline, midline, or frontline?

I already have a backline base necro well bomber and a frontline brusier shout reaper for zerg fights.
Looking more for a midline pure healer/support build for zerg fights or small group roaming. Does not have to be a reaper. can be a base necro.

Thanks!

Try Zealot’s gear. This lets you combine well bombing and midline support nicely. The downside is that Transfusion and Vampiric Rituals compete, so you have to choose which you want to focus on more. Also, it’s expensive.

It’s not impoosible, but even looking at the necs weapon skills the only weapon that offers some kind of support is focus, and staff for their regeneration. You’ll have to build up lifeforce to use the transfusion skills but imo it’s better to go wells that you can drop them where needed while presenting little danger to yourself since as a nec you’ll get more than your fair share of hits just being a nec.

If you have your heart set on it can also look into runes and sigils that offer healing in an aoe, like sigil of water, and sigil of renewal for example. I’ve never really played support per say but that’s my two cents.

Maybe run apothecary with 1000+ condi damage? Making a power build will kitten you badly as you can’t afford to invest in ferocity too much (cleric/shaman/magi) and staff bleeds / mark of blood won’t do nearly as much.

I don’t advise trying to run healing though.

Well it’s not really up to us, if that’s what he wants to do. But yea I did say if his heart is really set on it then by all means go for it.
