Guild Wars 2

so, ever since I started my warrior, I have been using healing signet for constant healing, but I cant really feel the effect of it, I mean, as zerker warriors, we take much more dmg, and when I compare dmg received to the healing from the healing signet, the effect of it is so small that I cannot even feel its there. am I doing anything wrong?
For me, I think defiant stance is the way to go, I uses all income dmg to heal you, which means that, u get a few seconds of invulnerability and huge healing, which also gives me a few moments to withdraw from battle, or take out my shield to block, which is what I do when going against Lupi. I also use Omnomberry Pies for life steal, as I crit almost every hit, which in my opinion is more effective than Healing Signet

What do u guys think?

Take endure pain and offhand sword for block if you need to. But for defiant stance to work you need LOTS of incoming dmg. It also doesn’t scale off how hard the attacks hit, just how many attacks. That makes it only really good for zerging in WvW or the occasional big team fight in pvp. But even then is prefer healing signet :/

If you are able to time it right everytime then it might be. I still prefer Healing Surge over the Signet for PvE since my PvE build doesn’t encourage using bursts. I prefer a burst heal over a regen heal if I don’t have a lot of CC on hand.

For PvE, like dungeons and stuff, for example lupi, u can see red circles on the ground when he AoEs, so if u need healing, u can always just stand right in the middle of it, and heal. I always carry a shield, endure pain and defiant stance with me for lupi.

im full zerk, so when i face mobs or champs in dungeons, I take loads of dmg in the matter of seconds, so i really cant feel the effect of healing signet. as for Healing Surge, it is a great healing skill, but i mean, defiant stance gives u a few seconds of invulnerability as well from dmg.

I just never seem to get enough healing out of it in PvE but then again, I often don’t time it right cause I am not a PvE master and don’t know all the encounters.

I agree, healing signet too weak.

Thats true, but since mobs usually have 1 long cast, hard hitting attack instead of multiple weaker attacks, youll really be lucky to get 4k healing out of defiant stance. All in all tho, if it works for you, use it
