NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS HIGH-END HEALING BUILD, THIS IS JUST A BUILD TO HAVE LOADS OF FUN WITH IN RA AND TA WHILE STILL DOING A GOOD/REASONABLE JOB HEALING YOUR TEAM!

Sorry I had to do that in caps but hopefully it will spare me a few idiotic replies. This is a W/Mo healing ( yes healing ) build aimed for RA and TA.

Attributes:

12 Healing Prayers
12 Protection Prayers
4 ( 3+1 ) Tactics

Skills:

- Zealous Benediction
- Signet of Rejuvenation
- Shield of Absorbtion
- Shielding Hands
- Draw Conditions
- Holy Veil
- Bonetti's Defense
- Resurrection Signet

Armor:
Tactics Headgear
Best Vigor Rune
Best Absorption Rune
For the rest Attunement Runes
Radiant Inscriptions for your whole armor

Usage:

SoR and ZB are your main heals. Use SoR on players above 50% HP or when ZB is recharging. ZB should only be used on players below 50% HP, using it otherwise will result in you being quickly drained of your energy. SoA and SH should be used on clothies with an assasin/warrior/ranger/dervish on them ASAP to make sure you have enough healing power to outheal the damage. They both also serve an excellent job at ensuring you take 0 dmg from physical attacks wich should allow you to focus on healing others without having to worry about yourself. Draw Conditions should be used to remove conditions, you're a warrior so will hardly ever get focussed. If you do get focussed you should be able to keep yourself alive even with deep wound, poison and other annoying stuff on you ( except for dazed, but who the hell dazes a warrior? ) Holy veil is for removing hexes, precasting it on a single party member who is likely to get hexed is often a great idea, but if the hex stays out for the first 5 seconds immediatly remove holy veil since you really need that pip of energy regen. Bonetti's Defense should be used when you come under fire, It's great for energy management and keeping yourself safe. Resurrection Signet should obviously be used on death party members, but beware of it's 3 second cast time during wich you cannot heal.

Any suggestions are welcome, helping me improve my build is always good.
Critics are not welcome, this is not a serious build. Merely a fun one, I don't care if you think it's crap. It's fun, that's what I made it for.

There's no point to this build. It won't be able to heal anyone effectively, and you'll run out of energy within twenty seconds of the match. If you want to heal, use a Monk. If you're playing Warrior, try to kill stuff. That's your job.

And yes, I did ready the "Warning", but if you're not willing to take critique you shouldn't be posting on a forum. It's going to happen.

Youa re the kind of guy that gets all excited when u see a thread like "what your favorite elite skill" or "eviscerate vs cleave?".

Aren't u sick of all the borring thread that just repeats known facts over and over? Yes healing signet is the best warrior heal and yes frenzy is the best ias stance in pvp. Who cares? I guess u are the kind of player that change his build only once every 2 months because you only play with the "perfect build" that other peoples have designed for peoples like you that are scared to use new skills.

Wanting to win =/= "scared to use new skills"

But this did give me an IRL "lol".

heh, honestly guys, I sometimes have a fun time reading how other people are finding some interesting ways to break out of the mold and add some color to killing :P
In this case, it's about healing and I think the original poster seems to be having a good time with what he's put together.
Isn't the fact that he's having a good time with this game, in and of itself, valid?

If all builds were about the quickest number of kills in the shortest amount of time, well then, there are the classic number of Warrior builds to choose and pick from, no argument there.
Course, not every build has to be about that.
And in this case, it's certainly not.
So how bout we just let someone have some fun with what this game has allowed him to do and maybe, if anyone has some ideas, he can even be helped out?

Gw's a great game.
But I never thought it was great because there was only one way to do something or that there was only ONE thing that had to be done.

Well, i personally am not a fan of this build but i can see the originality of it. HOWEVER, i do see where it could work out well. Unfortunately, in RA there are a lot of morons and you need to be able to do high end healing. However by using a warrior you prevent random (poor) warriors from killing off the main healer quickly. Interesting indeed, but notable

And yes, I did ready the "Warning", but if you're not willing to take critique you shouldn't be posting on a forum. It's going to happen. Actually my main is a monk, and healing is the thing I enjoy most in the game. I however find it really stressfull to be constantly bashed upon by 4 others. Warriors are also a favorite class of mine, though I haven't really gotten around making one for PvE yet. Now as a warrior I simply hate to be blinded, hexed to death and all that kind of warrior hate.

So with this build I avoid both my problems .

And it really is quite a good healer. I may not be able to outheal big spikes ( 5 skill assasin combos, searing flames eles etc. ) of damage but I certainly am capable of healing my team against mostly everything else. And this certainly is one of the most durable healers. Both your heals are basically free, nobody will try E-denial, Organised spikes, Backfires etc. on you since W/Mo is about the last thing you will target in a match, even W/E are targets above me for mesmers.

And ofcourse the reactions of your own team after a flawless ( and yes, I am more then capable at achieving flawless victories with this build, even against capable teams if my own team is capable ) are great .
'Nice healing monk '
'Ow wait, nice healing ele :P'
'Err.... I didn't heal....'
'I'm using Zealous Benediction on *Insert Warrior Name Here*'

And yes there is a point this this build, Fun. And yes, this build is able to heal a team effectively, ofcourse it won't replace a monk but it's an alternative. Did you try it before making these comments? I honestly doubt it.

And this is the reason why I didn't want any critics, It's not a competetive build. It's not made to win. It's made to have fun with and laugh at the opposing team when they fail to grasp it's you healing. And honestly, did you think I did not realise all that what you posted myself? I may not be a rank 9 idiot, a Fierce Gladiator or whatever idiotic title some high-end guilds require, but I do have the thing called common sense to realise that OBVIOUSLY a monk will do a better job at healing, even if it was only for the extra energy, runes and 2 pips o regen.

And who are you to decide what my job in a battle is? I make my build, I choose my class, I choose my skills, I set my attributes, I pick my equipment, I invest my time in playing, I invest my money in buying this game, I use my computer to play it so I would think it's pretty clear that I decide what my job in this game is and not you? If I want to be an idiotic W/Mo healer who is probarly more useless then a tank spamming frenzy and heal sig then let me, I'm not forcing you to play with me or do anything.

Ow and I apologise for flaming, I simply am so sick of people telling me how to play my character. On top of that I play a monk in PvE and all my missions are done with PuGs. So I meet erm... players like this constantly. They are usually the ones who rush into a mob having a great battle plan, wich they unfortunately forgot to share with the group, and then blame the rest of the group and in specific the monk for their failure, after wich they ragequit since obviously they are far too good to play with noobs like me.

Yes, I did read the warning. It's a forum, if he didn't want critique on his build then he shouldn't have posted it.

Yes, I am sick of those threads. But maybe if people actually read them over and used the information in them, they would stop popping up. Yes, Healing Signet is the best Warrior heal and Frenzy is the best PvP IAS stance. Who cares? People that want to win care. And yes, I rarely change my build. I don't change it because it is effective. How does having an effective build translate to being afraid to use new skills?

That's RA for you, you should get used to it and learn to deal with it if you want to become a good player.

If you have common sense, why don't you use a monk? You even said they are better at healing than Warriors are. Why settle for the worst healers when you can have the best?

I'm sorry if I came off as snobbish or anything in my first post, but if you aren't going to play to win then why are you playing? If you're just playing for fun but aren't going to try to win, then you should be playing another game. You'll be ruining the fun of other people if you're not even going to try to win.
