Guild Wars 2

Before the ninja nerf, using 300 healing power, healing shouts would heal for about 1500 and adding it up to 615, it would heal for about 2100.

Post nerf, it’s 1435 and 1680, respectively. Healing power only gives a measly 1:1 ratio to healing skills while vit gives a 1:10 ratio to hp (you would need to use healing skill 10 times to make it worthwhile compared to vit).

As it stands now, Healing power is totally worthless for ANY warrior build. I know that it was quite too powerful in sPvP but currently this stat is just a total garbage to be any of use.

EDIT: disregard this, I’m a drunk moron. See my last reply on the topic.

It’s not balanced to be a good stat if you only have the self heal. It’s supposed to be good when you have other heal mechanics (shout heals and banner regen are the big ones for warriors, some helpful runes also exist) and you’re healing multiple people per use.

That said, warrior heal builds probably don’t get the most out of the Healing stat. Still quite viable though.

If it’s true, as a Cleric-gear’d support/tanky Warrior in PvE, I’m quite disappointed. Oh well, buffs and nerfs are a part of MMOs, I guess. :/

I was healing for 2,351 at 80 with my shouts. I am now healing for 2,231. I think I’ll survive.

I’m rather interested as to how much Healing Power you currently use in your build.

Oh there was a secret nerf?

Haven’t really noticed it much, but then again I don’t do sPvP, just dungeons.

I’m actually more annoyed about their lack of communication, rather than an actual nerf.

It’s because I do dungeons that I noticed this. All of sudden my party and I start to die easily and I just realized that my shouts are only healing for ~1700 on cleric gear totaling 615 healing power.

You are entirely wrong.

I run 656 healing power and my shouts healed for 1700`ish. I have weeks old screenshots to back this up. They haven’t healed for anywhere near 2100 at 615 healing power since maybe beta 2.

They are still healing for 1700ish.

If anything you are freaking out because WvW reset and the medic bonus from it got reset.

I just tested it again in the mist, and like pirate said, I’m wrong.

Perhaps it really was wvw bonus skewing my memory of it. You need maximum healing stat (1200) to get 2100 shout heals.

Terribly sorry for the mixup. Arenanet didn’t ninja nerfed after all.
