Guild Wars 2

Healing shout warriors were never good.

This thread is so full of bad advice and off topic information.

1. He said he wanted to play a Tanky Support Warrior
2. He said he planned on using it for Havoc

Then you guys go on to talk about how damage supports the team better and give him all this BS frontline/backline zerg surfing advice.

LOL

The sad thing is, that even the zerg surfing advice is wrong. Frontline Warriors running glass damage specs are rally bots. Frontline doesn’t do damage, the backline does. Anyone who has ever watched a GvG of a zerg busting squad on youtube would be able to get this.

Shout warriors are the frontline, with shout guardians. They are the core of any competent frontline in any large fight. If your DPS spec is alive in a frontline fight, its not because your are a super awesome player, it is because you had better shout heavies keeping your HP up or their backline DPS was too garbage to kill you in the first place.

Finally for Havoc, and Tanky Support there is no other build that a warrior can do other than a SWH/H Shout bunker.

Do you need DPS for Havoc? Of course.

Does it have to be a Warrior? No.

Warriors are great as Roamers with DPS heavy specs, in team fights though, there are other classes that can burst better without having to risk their body in a melee cleave train. If you have good shout warriors backing you up and you wanna play a Tank DPS, go for it, there are many viable builds.

But this guy said Tanky + Support + Havoc so if your advice doesn’t cover that, it really is worthless here.

Say we get a vigorous shout buff
Vigorous Shouts: Increased the base healing by 25%. Increased the healing stat scaling from 80% to 90%

With 2100 healing power, a shout would heal 3380.

You have 2100 healing power how?

Edit:
Including the current vigorous shout:
2872hp/shout
24412hp/min with the same 3 shouts.*

I prefer banners right now~

I love the assumption that no one is bringing any source of regen except you.

Dude. Why do you keep saying I’m assuming no one else is bringing any source of regen? If you look at the video, theres a lot of regen ticking on my screen, it means its working regardless of whether other people are bringing regen.

Because if they are getting regen from other sources then your regen is, at a minimum, partially wasted. Yet you count full value.

Regen stacks in duration. As long as I can see the green ticks on my screen, I’ll know I’m actually regening ppl.

On a side note: Yea, shout build will definitely be better in a havoc squad.
