Guild Wars 2

is it terribly wrong if I want to HEAL more!? I’m happy investing into healing power if the ratios weren’t so POOP even a full shout heal build does not satisfy my need to sustain a fight.

edit: i should add I am coming from a WvW/PvP viewpoint. ( I always run under the assumption anything is possible in pve, so far I haven’t been wrong:P) I’ve also always run with a 0 0 20 30 0 base build trying shouts and banners (finding preference in shouts) but taking 300 MORE points into vitality (of which we already have uhh so much seems counterproductive

0/0/30/30/0 with 10 points in any other area, with healing signet+adrenal healing+cleric gear should make you pretty much invinciable for any solo content. For most dungeons, your survivability is one of the best, but your dps is gonna be low do to lack of prec/crit dmg and a slight lack of pow due to cleric gear being more focused on healing power. Use banner regen too.

Healing signet + adrenal healing + perma regen boon from banner = a lot of healing. You can definitely sustain a fight with this.

I do 0/025/30/15 and can sustain very well with either shout or banner healing. I use signet of healing, shake it off, and signet of rage elite. Other two utilities: Banner (tactic, endure pain) shout (for great justice and on my mark).

I like either hammer or GS with sword/shield second set. I carry a rifle for some specific instances where it is needed.

Sustain is Guardian territory, sadly.

I get more survivability with a more offensive built using Omnomberry Pies than when trying a “healing” Warrior.

You can run the healing banner without banner regen. It’s unique skills is a group heal for 4k on a 10s cooldown, along with the other generic banner skills.

Pickup→heal→plant in a field (or drop)→back to attacking. The more I think about it, the more I think I need to use a banner more often

I plan to change for a more DPS spec soon and will try this, but I would be surprised if it is true.

Omnomberry Pies are AMAZING, simple as that.
