Return of Reckoning

Playing a healing WP the regular way is consistently simple.

Hey there,
From my perspective i would always go for a rp/zealot. Atm rp has the best meta with bis in game. That has a small drawback in ap consumption but you can easily counter it.
In WB play is the best option when combined with WP. RP/AM combo works fine as well.
The trick with RP is to master healing while moving since the class is mostly aoe healing stationary. Read the tooltips study them, pay attention to your tactic procs and you are gtg.
Besides a good healer is an alive one. You dont die if you position well (remember this).
In small scale i am afraid i have little experience so i will not answer you. I believe many players could easily suggest you the best class.

The game was very different when the classes were designed. A spammy healbot was absolutely required back in the days of rain of fire stacking. Now without having to deal with sudden bursts insane aoe damage its simplistic. The other healers m2 also fall into that issue.
