Guild Wars 2

So yeah when I left the game a while back using the healing signet was laughably stupid, like you basically were signing your death away if you tried to use it in s/tPvP.

But I’ve been seeing it all over the place now and I’m a bit trepidatious about using it myself, so I ask all of you, was it buffed to the point where it can be used? Or are people just using it more now cause the other signets were buffed?

And finally, if it is usable now, is it mainly for warrior tanks or can dps/hybrid warriors effectively use it as well?

Another healing signet thread… reads

Its a nice heal, but watch out for poison because it effects it more then any other healing ability in the game.

However everyone will come in and say everyone plays all condition removal tanky builds.

It sucks against burst, and poison.

I searched it and couldnt find the exact info I needed, so I just made a new one and asked all the questions I had at once, sorry if that inconveniences you or something.

But yeah ty for the info, I figured it would be bad against burst, but I had forgotten about poison making it less effective as well.

And with the massive amount of damage coming from bursts or conditions (that include poison most the time) I don’t think I’ll be using healing sig anytime soon lol

So ty for the info

Can you please change your title to something a bit more appropriate? The way you said it makes it sound like a complaint.

“Need help with Healing Signet.” would get you better results.

Healing signet alone is… ok-ish.
It only becomes truly interesting when paired with adrenal healing and possibly some +healing gear and as much toughness as you can (signet scales like doo doo, adrenal healing scales pretty decently)

Uh… it scales with the same healing per second per healpower that the other warrior heals do.

Healing signet +0.05*healpower/s
Healing surge +1.5*healpower/30s = +0.05*healpower/s
Mending +1.0*healpower/20s = +0.05*healpower/s

Welcome back Vic. Healing signet is totally usable in tPvP now. Works best with atleast 15 in def to get adrenal health and soldier+zerk ammy. Very good sustain and a great 1v1 spec if you add some condiresistance there through cleansing ire and zerk stance.

Healing Signet is more viable now that it was before when you leave. You can use it but against bursts its very weak.

Healing signet combined with Dogged March, Adrenal health and a cheap food like mango pie is currently a quite good choice for warriors. If you can dodge well and use a shield, a lot of the burst can be avoided/mitigated.

It is mentioned that it is weak against burst, which is partly true because its the weakest direct heal but again…it depends on skill.

Definitely the best healing ability (again when optimized) for longer fights

Yeah out of curiosity I gave it a shot in hotjoins, and I have to say jumping in and stun locking with a hammer, then backing out to aoe with a longbow, only to fully heal without having to use a healing skill was quite hilarious lol

I still need to try it in tourneys ofc, since people can actually focus correctly in tourneys (i constantly target enemies in hotjoins and im still the only one attacking them lol but then again i expect that everytime :P).

But Im glad I asked, thanks all for the info

Its the worst ability to use against some classes because of spam-mable poison. Other heals you can cure the poison before healing. However this is a HOT, so it ticks away even with poison so you can get much lower HPS.
