Guild Wars 2

Pikafan.3792:

Healing Power should not affect boons to fit the theme(it’s healing power, not healing AND boon power). Instead, the scaling ratios on healing skills should be buffed.

Or, another good alternative would be to increase incoming healing.

For example, 100 healing power would equate to an increase of 10% healing a player receives from all sources, including self-heals.

This would not only fit in with the theme, but help keep healing power as a viable defensive/support stat.

ANet is trying there best to keep healing from being a good stat for a REASON. They don’t WANT people to be able to survive. This is what GW2 is, it’s not going to change. Why do you think the ‘down’ system is one of the major parts of the game? Is it horrible game design? Yah, but that is how the game was designed. People asking for more healing aren’t going to get it, so stop!

Narane.3825:

Stop talking about GW2 not having a dedicated healer class. By that logic, GW2 shouldn’t have a dedicated damage dealer/glass cannon either, yet 30 Trait points put into Critical Damage already give you 30% extra Crit damage. For glass cannons that have like 65% Crit chance and 2k Power, it’s not even funny how much 30%+ Crit Damage does— and that’s from Trait points alone.

Wrong. ANet designed the game to be about combat, not healing. The healing is GW2 is pathetic, at least in PvP. Anything on your bars that is specifically for healing other then your healing slot is a complete waste. You’re not helping your team. The Game is about downing people as fast as possible and then the surviving team rezzes their downed and pushes forward. Healing is pointless. If you’re looking for a game where healing matters move on, cause GW2 is all about the zerg and just ‘rezzing’.

Anet kept a ‘healing’ class out for a reason (who knows what the reason is really, trying to be different I guess, but in the end I think it’s going to fail, but that’s another discussion) so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Healing Power is nearly worthless.

The game is DPS -> Get ‘Downed’(lmfao horrible system)/Die -> Rez/Run Back. That is how Anet designed the game, that is how they want it played. That type of gameplay is what they wrapped the stats around. There will never be a viable healing set-up. The game is about numbers and damage, not healing and ‘take down’ (knowing when to switch targets/focus) strategies. GW2 is the perfect zerg mentality game which will mainly appeal to people who just want to kill things and not have to worry about combat strategy.

I’ve been trying all these combos, and the wiki says when you preform one it’s suppose to show that you did on screen…but I’ve only seen it show the first time I’ve done a combo and never again, which makes me believe I’m not doing it right. Where exactly on the screen does it show you’ve preformed a combo?

Well, anyone can equip a ranged basically, so everyone is here. First spot I’ve found where it’s just a ton of macroers with 1 bound to a gkey that automates the keystroke, or any macro program really.

Just saying. This event is home to a massive amount of AFK xpers botting 24/7, mainly ranged classes.

There always needs to be a carrot. Anet will need to keep adding more and more variations to gear or something to improve your character/appearance. Otherwise it will still get old.
