Well I built a healer’esque character anyways with my Guardian and I’m at 1470 healing power but could do better with ascended items. It’s sad that the developer feels healers don’t like spending their time just healing or supporting others as a passerby or as part of a group. I’m the type of person that would go around and heal anyone on any server/team if it allowed me to play freelance. I get giddy when someone is in need and that’s my fun, otherwise I just sit there clicking on dye combinations and changing my appearance.
While it’s nice to try something different, playing their game, by their rules, and being punished in a sense for not playing, their way, is what ultimately takes the fun out of it.
The new update makes it much easier to accomplish this, I made a new character and put the visionary armor piece into the bank, once it’s there you get the skin for the item for all characters.
