Guild Wars 2

Hey all, currently the only way I know to gain health while in shroud would be blighter’s boon. Are there any other ways to do so? Will the heal on crit food or the lifesteal sigil heal me ?

You have 1 trait that heals a little Blighter’s Boon and you have dark fields in which you can use Combo Finisher: Whirl to steal hp, but only works if you hit 1 or more targets. That’s all I can think of atm.
Not much really

PS: Signet of Vampirism, but I’m not really sure it works in shroud. Havent used this heal for long time.

Signet of vampirism work Only in the Active way, the Passive heal is canceled when you enter the shroud, as all the other signets effects. But if you active it you before enter the shroud you can use the stacks to steal and heal hp. The same with the Trait in Blood that grant a lesser version of it when you stack bleed on the enemy.
Another way is by the Vampiric traits. Vampiric traits on you and your minions grant you heal also when you’re in shroud.
But you need to hit something to obtain hp.

Then there’s the Blighter’s Boon that with different traits that grant might and sigils will provide a really good amount of HP.

If you need to survive in PvE you can use Spite-Blood-Reaper and go full vampiric and might spam.

Blighter’s Boon was mentioned often.
Vampiric traits in Blood will do it too. That was a relatively recent change, but non-Necromancer things (Blood Sigil or Omnom Ghosts) won’t work.
However, before all of those was Unholy Sanctuary in Death. Heals just for being in shroud.

Unholy Sanctuary
Blighters Boon
Vampiric
Vampiric Aura
Vampiric Wells
Whirl Finisher + Dark field
Signet of Vampirism (and blood bond version)

Thanks all. Im running a power minion master reaper build using death magic, soul reaping and reaper. Would have been great if I could get more healing from the food

They need to fix signet passives so they work in shroud.

I still can’t believe they don’t work in shroud… it’s like the class is still in Beta sometimes.

Also, food & sigils etc…
