Einlanzer.1627 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Over the years I've played this game I have literally never bothered with healing power because I have never played a dedicated support/healer.Question is - is Healing Power ever worth using outside of highly specialized dedicated support builds in raids, etc.?

Loosmaster.8263 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 AFAIK, healing power in your Hero Panel has no affect on other players. You have to look at and invest in Sigils/Runes/Infusion that boost outgoing healing to others.Edit: I'm not sure if a % of your HP level is used to calculate the outgoing side.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_the_Monk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 That would depend on the build. If the only healing that your build does is from the #6 then no. If you have other sources of healing then maybe. It also depends on things like the source of healing's base heal and healing coefficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taril.8619 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 It can be useful for Rev/Guardian in PvP as they can have some additional heals in their kit outside of their dedicated heal skill. So grabbing Avatar Amulet or Sage's Amulet instead of Marauder's or Carrion respectively, can give some additional sustain without much loss of damage.

You should know that most healing skills that affect others would not heal enough to be useful, even if you have outgoing heal boosts, without healing power.

ollbirtan.2915 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Healing power affects the scaling of all of your healing skills, abilities and traits. With that said, if you want to play a dedicated healer, it's very useful in PVE, but less useful in WvW and almost useless in sPvP now. Reason - heal modifiers and base heal numbers of all skills were nerfed to the ground in competitive modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly the ones that heal for a percentage of your damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollbirtan.2915 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Yes, but they are sparse. Also, there are traits that increase outgoing healing power, but that's also irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
