Guild Wars 2

As far as goes for druid healers in raids and instance would you recomand zealot (Power precision healing)
against Cleric (Power thoughness Healing)

Reason for this is thoughness brings the agro on the healer a lot to

Last I checked, if you can handle the dual role of tank & healer, cleric is fine. Zealot (and all other mixes of gear with healing power without or little toughness) are those that want to just heal.

I’ll say that if one prefers/is comfortable with the tank & healer setup, skip Cleric’s and go Nomad’s.

Cleric/Magi mix for Progression, PUGing and general use.

Zealots for farming and organized groups

Zealots armor for sure. The tank plays a very important role and you can’t be messing him up with a high toughness value. The more toughness the tank needs to out-aggro you the less DPS your team will have.

Once you get to Gorseval every bit of damage matters, so you’re actually going to want to bring berzerker trinkets with your zealots armor. For value guardian clerics trinkets seem to work well for the extra healing and personal survivability.

If your group knows what they are doing – you should go for berserker anyway.
~People need healing only if they screw up which they shouldn’t.
If your group is organized but they need to be carried – Definitely Zealot.
~It’s the most efficient healing choice
If you are playing with people who refuse to play in terms of efficiency – Cleric is amazing.
~There’s no other stat combination that would make your healing more comfortable – meaning you don’t have to pay that much attention to your own mistakes and you can focus more on those of others.

Apart from that, you might want to mix the stats. You only need roughly 1000 healing power. I felt having more is a bit of overkill even for pugs.
Also, tanks usually go for 1700 toughness. Try not to exceed that number if you decide you want to pug a bit and get Cleric armor.

Why power? with the lack of physical damage from the staff, why not condi?

Because it’s hard to fit staff into a condi build.

Because it’s hard to fit staff into a condi build.

Why? it’s more difficult to balance the build but possible… And more fulfilling and rewarding than the power build.
I’m testing one healer/condi with apothecary:
I get an average of 1K bleeds using the staff + smokescale and heals 115HP with AA per ally, 4.5K lunar impact, 1.2K rejuvenating tides.
It can sustain easily (i was looking at the inventory) the initial burst from an sneaky thief in WvW.

Still trying to get more stable bleeds because they dance too much from 300 to 1500, but working on it.

Yes, but the OP asked for raid builds not WvWvW.

Fair point, but raids can’t be more exigent than an enemy zerg…
For raids there is even more sense into it: You have to use skirmish for the spotter, so you may go condi as well.

Staff does little damage even in full power build, so instead going for the power you can go for condi.

You will not be doing as much damage as a condi ele or engi, but the DPS is something that never is enough. And the damage should be decent enough to feel good.
You know bursty heals + dps support…
