I am a warrior/assassin that has the campaigns Prophecies and Factions. Everyone is saying there is no use for tactics any longer. But what about Healing Signet?

What warrior skill is there to heal yourself that isn't Nightfall-based like Lion's comfort?

Tell me!

Warriors don't need a self heal.

I'm serious. For instance, a 1v1 scrimmage or something. You need self heal! I want to know something besides Lion's Comfort or Healing Signet that you can use as a self heal that is not relying on a secondary profession!

Well, since there are only two healing skills for a Warrior that doesn't want to use his secondary profession and you don't have access to Lion's Comfort, I think you are stuck with Healing Signet.

the only reason i ever needed to bring any healing on my warrior has been in some very hard dungeons in hard mode (i went /D and brought vital boon+sig of pious light), or now since the lions buff i sometimes bring it with my
D-slasher.


warriors don't need a self-heal, but it can be used. If all you have is healsig, don't use anything in pve.

Its not bad skill ... it is just pointless skill to take.

There is difference.

pretty much... I have the same problem with my warrior... I just use a defensive stance (of the same name) to ''cover'' Heal sig and avoid interruption. Thats the best option I found.

Healing signet isn't that bad, but you'd have to spec into tactics.
With the recent nerfs of tactics skills and buffs of other skills, tactics has basically become obsolete.

You shouldn't be running self heal on your Warrior bar.
You would want to carry it to optimum efficiency in a manner of supporting AND offense to a huge extent.

The only reasons Healing Signet is bad are because it's Tactics and because of the massive damage you'll end up taking because of your armor being set to -40 while using it in any situation where you need self-healing (and, regardless of what some here think, being able to take a bit of pressure off your Monks, assuming you have any in the first place, is always a good thing. And not every build uses all 8 skills, so it's very possible to add the self-healing or reusable resurrection or whatever without reducing the effectiveness of your main role, if any, in the group).

Best thing to do, though, is to dump Tactics (and get a Strength shield, of course) and invest those points in whatever attribute of your secondary has healing, if you want the self-heal.

Try /D and use Natural Healing if you must have a self-heal. But please don't.

I'll do my job and kill things (and make the rest of the party unkillable via SY, just for fun), and the monks can do their job and keep everyone alive. I don't see the need for a self-heal once you get off the ground.

Um yeah, all the people saying not to bring a self heal/self heals are bad are either incredibly stupid, plain horrible at GW or can't read. OP is not saying 'should I bring a self heal in PvE when I have TNTF/SY!/cons/2 monks/controlled aggro.

Lions Confort is ok, but the fact that it's adren based makes it a little less reliable. Heal Sig and Natural Healing (/D) are the best ways to go.
