Guild Wars 2

quite frankly , this heal is vastly inferior to both Troll Unguent and Healing Spring . The cast time of 1.5 seconds , low healing etc.

Please make it comparable to the other two heals , and not by nerfing the other ones xD

I’d like it to just be a faster cast, it’s a REALLY good heal for the glassier builds, TU may heal for more, but it’s kinda useless if you can’t live long enough to get that heal. And Healing Spring is pretty much a support heal than a self heal.

give it 5 seconds less CD and 3/4sec reduced casting time, reduce the healing power by 25% and make it cleanse immobilize, stun/daze and knockdown, and it will be perfect!!!

Hao is a really good heal for glass power builds. The main problem with hao is the pretty long cast time. It should be reduced to 1 sec. Also, power builds usually don’t have eb, that’s a big problem, actually the main reason why power glass builds are not that good. Hao should remove 2 conditions, that would be amazing and perfect for power builds, expecially combined with sor.

That was my solution. You may find that rather interesting.

Honestly, i would suggest reducing it cast time by 0.5 seconds and letting it clear 2 conditions . Similar to Mending . Ranger does need more active condition removals

I just thought of a way to make HaO amazing, “if your pet is dead it is resurrected at 50% health”

Here’s some comparisons with no healing power accounting cooldown and casting time:

Heal as One: 307 HP per second.
Healing Spring with WH blast: 281 HP per second.
Healing Spring without blast: 238 HP per second.
Healing Spring + blast + standing in it for duration: 588 HP per second.
Troll Unguent: 329 HP per second.

Weakness of Troll Unguent = If you have QZ in your build you can’t use it for 10 secs after casting heal unless you want reduced effects. Can be killed before full heal applies.

Weakness of Healing Spring = Lowest base heal even with a blast, unless you can stay in the field the entire time. 15 seconds of being careful with QZ. Can be killed before full regeneration cycle. Ranged weapon users barely benefit their pet with this. Interrupts might stacking eles if you drop it before they are done.

Weakness of Heal as One = Lowest potential heal. Longest casting time.

Advantages of Troll Unguent = Great ranged heal for pet and master. Biggest guaranteed heal if pet and master survive duration. Can be used preemptively right before entering combat to counter the initial burst of enemies.

Advantages of Healing Spring = Condition removal. Heals allies with regen. Very large and long water field for blasting. Lightning hammers and melee stacking make for near invincible allies and pets.

Advantages of Heal as One = Most garunteed heal in our arsenal. Can save pets from many situations that the other two would be too slow at. Effects can not be lessened by death, positioning or late application of poison. Quickest recharge.

Make Heal as One a shout.

Make Heal as One a shout.

It’s never going to be a shout, if anything it’ll become a “pet” skill and er may get more of those + a trait to reduce their CDs.

PS: RaO is a “Pet” skill.

What I’d give if the ranger had withdraw. Of course then we would kitten people off in WvW.

Cast time should be lower that is it.

Another idea:
Passive effect – Each unique effect that heals only you will also heal your pet, and vice versa.

Add “you and your pet gain 5 seconds of stability” to it. That will give Heal As One it’s own identity.

I have a compromise that even the devs will prolly agree with. Nerf the shortbow range to compensate if you buff heal as one :P
I always wanted to play melee archer.

RaO doesn’t get any benefit from being a “Pet” skill tho. It doesn’t get any reductions or benefits from traits at all.

If they make Heal as One a “Pet” skill, that could work too, as long as the trait for reducing Pet skills work for it (and while they’re at it, fixing RaO to work with it too).

Well seeing as how we’re getting more utility skills and traits before the end of the year, i was saying they may expand on the existing (barely) pet skills,make HaO one and then add a trait to make those better as a whole which would buff HaO.
