What Elite should I use on my ( n/rt ) healer? I find that with her existing healing spells and Dwayna's Sorrow on the MM I have more than enough healing. Also, since she is spamming Weapon of Warding I do not want her to overwrite it with Weapon of Remedy at always the wrong time.

I could go Offering of Spirit but I find she is kind of stuipd when it comes to using it and N/x really don't have energy issues anyway. Preservation is fun when in 4 man but 8 man it sort of bites for targeting the correct person. Leaves something like Icy Viens, I prefer not to have my healer on Defensive though...

Any ideas?

I use the following build, 14 SR and 12 Restoration, all health runes with Oola's staff without ever an issue. Even when there is no minions dieing.

[Xinrae's Weapon][Weapon of Warding][Mend body and soul][Spirit Light][Life][Foul Feast][Flesh of my flesh][Signet of Lost Souls] Or [Wielders Boon]

Haven't tested it enough but does having the soul reaping on your healer hero outwiegh just using a ritual primary healer? Because you only get the energy boost 3 times every 15 seconds from soul reaping. And since they are holding an item 80% of the time their energy pool is already low unless you use attument runes, or throw on a couple radiant runes to get 2 or 3 more energy instead of 10-15 more hitpoints. So is getting 12 points of energy per kill going to waste sometimes?

Granted going from 12 to 14 (or more if you use something other than a minor rune) in resto isn't a huge jump in healing but is the energy conservation really that necesary? But then again I usually have eve also and she spams blood ritual nicely.

But would be interested to see if anyone has tried it with 2 necros and a rit in place of the helaer necro.

If I only have access to 2/3 of the necros (comp problems, EotN won't load) which of the builds should I use? I've been using the SS and MM, replacing the restorer with a tease hero.

Thanks

Is this viable with only 2 Necromancer heroes and one Ritualist? I only have Master of Whispers, Olias, and Razah. No Livia. );

Yea but I mean if you want [ancestor's rage], [splinter weapon] and goodies why gimp your bar so much it can even accomodate an elite or a party wide heal right?

Leave resto to do Resto put AR/SW on the SS or MM you get more effectiveness out of your heroes this way.

It doesn't really matter if you put it on the SS or the restore necro since the only skill from channeling in sabway is SW. Daesu, why do you always try to de-rail every discussion with an irrelevant argument?

That guy was killing his resto bar with [ancestor's rage],[splinter weapon] so I refer to both of those skills while explaining why it isn't worth it to kill his resto bar with them. [ancestor's [email protected]] being a waste unless you have plenty of spare free skill slots to fill is another story. :P

Also stop talking crap, it does matter where you have splinter on SS or Resto. If SS casts splinter your resto can take [weapon of warding] put more attributes in SR. 13 SR > 9 SR, more damage mitigation is also good.

All I gave up for a second copy of splinter was a second copy of Foul Feast since my MM has it anyway.

While I can sort of understand all the [ancestor's rage] hate, why is it considered gimping your reso bar by dropping your Soul Reaping by 4 and gaining an additional level 10 [splinter weapon] for all your range minions?

If you and all your Bone Fiends are putting out X more damage from 2x [splinter weapon], then its safe to assume things will die faster and you will need less healing. Kill faster > over healing ( its the old proactive - reactive debate )

With 2 Nec’s spamming [splinter weapon] on me (ranger), and most Fiends in the group I have notice a large damage increase and have never seen my N/RT healer run out of energy even in HM dungeons.

Like I said IMHO

Well, whichever hero takes [splinter weapon] is going to have to sacrifice attribute points somewhere else in order to put 10 in channeling. That basically leaves you a choice of 8+1+1 SR if it's the resto, or 8+1 if it's the SS (since you'd certainly want 12+1+1 curses on that guy). I'm really not seeing a tremendous difference there.

Some people put [splinter weapon] on BOTH the resto and the SS, though I don't do that.

Yea but since your resto is in much bigger need of energy compared to SS I would much rather have SS with splinter and resto with wow and more SR and as I said it frees up a skill slot on the resto.

Like I said IMHO It seems you have no idea what the (mod edit)you are talking about. You dont need double [splinter weapon], one is enough. If one of your necs casts splinter on you and you make the other cancel it out and re-apply it gg on failing.

And you are missing my point, I was saying that gimping the resto bar like you did so it has no elite, no party wide heal is just dumb but ignorance is a bliss I guess.

Do you actually read shit or do you just spout abrasive answers just to be cool? I can see why you get banned so much......


Reading comprehension ftw huh? As I said in my last posts 2x [splinter weapon] is for me and the ranged minions in Sabs revised MM build. 1 x [splinter weapon] is not enough to keep 11 things enchanted. I guess your interweb hate made you skip that part.

I do know “wtf” I am talking about since I have completed all 4 games in NM and HM, we just happen to think differently. Me with an open mind and talking about new ideas even if they are wrong, you with your set opinions and talking down to people. What I was stating was opinions and not forcing it down the readers throats, I accept I was wrong with the ancestors rage.

See that’s what mature discussion is , you should try it some time.

Standard N/Rt Resto Healer, combining powerful bars-go-up with strong party healing, and the option to function as a hybrid heal/support character.

I sometimes replace WoR or Foul Feast with a second copy of Splinter (i.e. one here and one on the SS). On occasions where the hench Monks are adequate and I don't need a third healer, I run a Motigon or a Cruel Spear Paragon in place of this character.

Be sure not to overlap Foul Feast with the MM if you're running the second MM build. Oh and I guess Sab is wrong too...... Its all about you bud

This is the base bar I use for my resto:

[xinrae's weapon][splinter weapon][weapon of warding][mend body and soul][spirit light][protective was kaolai][life][foul feast]

What can I say, it works. I've finished all HM in Guild Wars (every zone, every mission, every dungeon), and she rarely runs out of energy. She spams [foul feast] like a champ, and with 8+1+1 soul reaping she gets 2 energy for each condition removed.

Obviously there are two schools of thought here, and my point is that both are viable, not that one is necessarily better than the other. I can certainly understand why another player would rather put [splinter weapon] on the SS. But the first Sabway hero I'm going to swap out in a specialized zone is the SS, and I still want to retain [splinter weapon]. I almost never swap out the resto.

olias takes like one quest

master takes a bit but its worth it

and livia takes two quests once in asura parts.

and you can take those on your curses nec.

I'm missing Livia; I do not own the Eye of the North expansion. I'm hoping to get it soon. In the meantime, I am trying to accommodate with the heroes I have.

I have Master of Whispers. I run him as the SS Curses Necro.
I have Olias. I run him as the N/Rt Restorer.
I have Razah. I'm trying to make him a Minion Bomber, but I also want [[Protective Spirit] and [[Aegis].

I substituted [[Defile Defenses] for [[Weaken Armor] because I do not own EotN.

I substituted [[Defile Defenses] for [[Weaken Armor] because I do not own EotN. I would drop [weaken armor] and [splinter weapon] for [aegis] and [protective spirit]

maybe even drop [rip enchantment] for [mark of pain]

and you can always bring [splinter weapon] on your healer or mm...but [mark of pain] is kinda a substitute.

@infamous-I'd keep [Splinter Weapon] but I agree about dropping [Weaken Armor] since there is no point to it.
