[Order][Opinion] Which healer for duo/smallscale?

Post#1 » Fri Mar 29, 2019 12:34 pm

Just curious to hear some opinions on which pure healer most perceive to be better in a duo or in small scale (6v6, etc.). I know WP is generally best for warbands.

I generally prefer to be as hard to kill as possible, so that gravitates me toward my WP. But I've found it sometimes difficult to heal a single person through heal debuffs and a little focus, plus there's some healing downtime when recovering RF. Granted, my WP isn't max level yet.

Runepriest feels great, and I find it easier to keep others up, but I find myself more likely to die under focus fire compared to WP.

So, what is everyone else's more well informed thoughts? I can take opinions on AM as well.

RP cuz WP would be a waste for duo. Once you'll get higher a higher rank and armour talis on that rp you'll be more tanky.

AM is bad.

What class are you duoing with?

because honestly, a mdps or off tank plus a grace WP wouldn't be the worst combo.

Grace retains some damage if spec'd right and the melee heals can keep you both up if played correctly.

Why do you feel a WP is a waste for a duo if I may ask?

It really depends on the day. My friend kind of plays whatever. I'd definitely do Grace if he was playing a tank, though. Sadly he prefers DPS, and I've found my WP Grace specced just kind of melts if RNG isn't on your side and the enemy parties a lot or has exceptionally high defense.

If you aren't at least level 40 with with maybe 50+ renown, Grace isn't for you. Grace is pretty gear and renown dependent. If you also haven't gotten the Beastlord set that's also a major contributor.

I'd give Grace another go around once you get to that point. Also check out the Grace guide.

RP would be the most mobile as they can use their best abilities on the move. Assuming you are not outnumbered, the RP can maintain distance while spamming Grungni’s Gift crits. Not to mention the stun ability to help close distance.
Brynnoth Goldenbeard (40/80) (IB) -- Rundin Fireheart (40/50) (RP) -- Ungrinn (40/40) (Engi)-- Bramm Bloodaxe (40/83) (Slayer) and a few Empire characters here or there, maybe even an elf.
