Guild Wars 2

We all know that healing signet is fairly worthless, and I was playing Guild Wars 1 today when I came across the warrior shout “I Will Survive!” It’s effect follows as so:

GW1
“I Will Survive!”
Shout. (5…10…11 seconds.) You have +3 Health regeneration for each condition on you.

I feel that, to fit GW2’s needs we could have it replace healing signet entirely, keep the 15 second cooldown and go something like this:

GW2
“I Will Survive!” – 15s-20s CD
Shout. Regenerate health over time. Stacks intensity for each condition on you.
Health Per Second: 500 + 100 for each condition on you when casted (0.12)^HealPower
Duration: 10 seconds

This would still provide a “regeneration” type heal for warriors as well as counter many condition builds that are extremely strong against warriors who still maintain a lack of condition removal, without effectively replacing mending, which already removes conditions. Let me know what you think.

Edit: Some of you may be thinking, “but shouts can already heal, and a healing shout that heals would be OP”, however if you take a look at Inspiring Mantras on the mesmer, and the fact that they have a mantra as a heal it’s a one-in-the-same argument.

Healing Signet should be a utility slot then.

Also, I hope you don’t shout it every 15 seconds :P

I don’t know about its functionality but I’d probably equip it just for the ability to yell that.

Stay away from my healing signet!

Not for nothing, but when I went full with a full Cleric/Banner build I found the healing signet did pretty well. However, I would not use it unless I was using a +Heal build. The other options are much better.

Way too short a cool down for it’s potential. It already crushes Healing Surge’s HPS and if you got the shout trait it would be on a 12 second CD. It should be 25 seconds. It’s similar to Ranger’s Troll Unguent, but could be traited to 20 seconds. As it’s healing would require at least 3-4 conditions on you throughout the duration to be just as good.

I think Healing Signet is fine though, just need to raise the passive healing up to 300, scale a little better with healing power, and activated heal should be around 4500. Mending also needs to be brought up

Since it only lasts 10 seconds and isn’t on 24/7, you’re losing about 1000 healing if you make it the same as healing signet. You could probably bump it up to 20 seconds, but for the most part it wouldn’t be as OP as it sounds. The ranger’s Troll Unguent has a 25s cooldown but also a near 900 HPS heal for 10 seconds. This is only 500 at it’s base and would take an HGH engie or condition-based build in a 1v1 to make it as effective as possible. Most of the time you’re running with 2 conditions on you maximum during your average fight.

It’s going to be hard not to burst into:

if I hear my character shout that out.
