Guild Wars 2

Due to the recent patch, I changed my Warrior to use a hammer and healing shouts. There’s just one little thing that’s nagging me.

Should I use soldier’s gear for more health, or Cleric’s gear for more healing? I’ve heard that in full cleric’s each shout can heal for 3200+.

My build is 0/0/30/30/10

Currently, I have full Knight’s with cleric’s trinkets. This works, but I’m wondering if it could be made better with soldier’s or cleric’s.

Just Cleric trinkets (exotic) heals for a little over 2200. I run with pvt gear and cleric trinkets and loved it, even before the change.

Weird since I don’t run with any cleric trinkets and all pvt and heal for 1900 I wonder if swapping out to cleric trinks is even worth it.

this is the best build for any warrior
it already was before the shout buff

perfect for 1 vs1 and zergfights at the same time so you never need to change
(always hammer but for zergfights you use sword/warhorn instead of axe/shield)

you can have high bursts with a lot of stunlock while being tanky and having high healing at the same time
best build ever

edit:
this is not new in any way xD

btw you basically said nothing abotu your build because you didnt say the exact traits you use and which weapons

if you use the wrong traits weapons this build can be the most useless build!

It might be 2400ish. I barely remember seeing the tooltip yesterday. The shout heal coefficient was buffed to 90% of heal power if that helps you decide. Also the healing power (potentially) affects more than just your shout heals.

I currently use my DPS gear and shout heal (about 2k maybe a bit less) for the same as I was healing using in almost full celestial gear (armor 3/6, all access minus back and weapons.). I haven’t played with my celestial gear/heal weapon stack/heal food since the patch came out.

I wil try it out later.

Here is the build with soldier’s gear. This is most likely what I’m going to move to from my knight’s set.

Since they haven’t updated this build calculator yet, the adept and master traits I use in Tactics are Lung Capacity and Shrug it Off.

Would knight’s gear actually work? I already have a full knight’s set.

If it is for raids in WvW with an organized guild, do not waste stats for Healing Power.
You lose to much Power. Crit Chance and Crit Damage

My raid build, never lets me down:

Use foodbuffs, they are cheap and give alot of stats.
Try to go for Power as main stat on most of your gear
Drop the Longbow for Group fights, Sw/H gives you a Leap, AoE Immobilize, AoE Cripple on Auto attack, AoE Swiftness, AoE Vigor, a Blast Finisher, converts 2 Conditions into boons(AoE again) AND Cures AoE Immobilize, Cripple and Chill

It would yes. As long as your hp pool is > 20000. you’ll do fine.

with full clerics armor and trinkets (not weapons) my shouts were healing for 2,475 with ~1100 healing power.

no stability?
good luck with that.

defy pain without a big heal (you can’t know if you have your shout up and still it’s only 6k for 3 shout) is useless.
use last stand instead, should work way better

Stand Your Ground works as a stability

Vigorous shout formula:
1490 + (Healing Power x 0.9).

The maximum healing power a warrior can have (with every single possible buff) is around 2400. Thats 3650hp/shout.

Realistically, shout warriors with max clerics/apoth will have around 2200 healing power (with easily attainable buffs). That 3470/shout.

But honestly, cleric warriors don’t do much. You’re basically a meat shield running around shouting. So unless, you like that sort of playstyle, don’t run full clerics.
