Yes, I know many people prefer the condition eater, but my question is regarding the two skills I have previously mentioned. I am sure there will be a time when I use the condition consumer, but for now I like the AoE heal.
I have been trying to figure out which heal provides more bang for the buck. I am a Sylvari necro and I am trying to decide if my racial healing seed is better or worse than well of blood? The numbers on the tool tip look like healing seed would be better, but in practice I feel like I am getting a bigger heal from the well. Also, well has a larger AoE so it helps my allies more. I am currently spec’d into wells so the cooldown is lower on the well. I am not terribly concerned with the cooldown though since most of my mitigation comes from siphoning and ds. Does anyone know the math on this?
What are you trying to accomplish when you play? Are you wanting to focus on producing strong damage, group support or just your own survivability? I am completely heal spec’d. I have all cleric gear and use a mace and shield for most fights. I like the shield for the prot buff to the group and the heal/projectile reflect of the 5 ability. Also, the cooldowns are much better than what the focus offers. My healing is so high that I out heal the damage from most encounters including bosses. The downside to this build is that all my group healing is based at my feet, so others have to be in melee or near melee to benefit from my support. However, if there is a skilled support engineer in the group then our stacked healing is unstoppable. I use the hammer for my other weapon for AOE damage and buffs for AH when the damage incoming isn’t too bad. For fights like Hodges in AC with the burrows I pull out my great sword for more damage. I hope that helps.
The Sword is predominantly a single target weapon(I know about the third auto attack), but the damage is good in my opinion. I like the sword allot, but I use it for Open World questing only. The heals that I get from my mace in dungeons is way more valuable to the group in my opinion. If you are a support guardian then mace is a much better choice in groups. However, I would not couple it with a torch if you are trying for support. Obviously if you are asking about coupling it with a torch then you are trying for damage so in that case sword and torch are a great damage combo. I combine that with a great sword myself when I am going for damage. I hope this helps.
Why? I do jumping puzzles just fine on my Charr.
I did the same thing and ended up sticking with my Charr. The tech seems to match Charr tech better than Asura tech to me. Which racials do you like more? I was stoked about the power suit until I actually used it – fail… Either way is good though. Whatever floats your boat and toots your horn.
You should probably go do that then.
