Guild Wars 2

Generally speaking, I have two pieces of advice:

1. Try them all as you’re leveling and go with what works for you personally.

2. While you’re leveling, especially at the lower levels, the “rules” for weapons are very different than at high levels. Sword pales next to GS without Right-hand Strength, for example. Basically, there’s a lot of info on weapons that, at least for a while, won’t matter to you and you can refer to #1.

Warrior priest were not that OP tbh and diciple of khain was far more dps than a warpriest.

Not to derail this conversation too much—and I can’t speak for any time in the last 2+ years—but, at least during the time I played, Warrior Priest was the most disturbingly overpowered class I’ve seen perhaps in ANY game I’ve played (at least in a PvP setting). I played both sides and, even on the side of the WP I could see how overpowered it was to have WP on our team.

That said, I’m not sure that it’s entirely relevant to the conversation at hand here. I won’t say anything other than to echo what others have said: there’s not really a way to build a dedicated healer in this game. You can pour whatever you want into improving nothing but healing and I think you’re always going to find it underwhelming in PvE. However, I do encourage you to try other things and explore the ideas that this game does encourage in both PvE and PvP—you might just find that stepping out of your comfort zone of “being the healer” can be fun!
