I recommend using spear for heal willbender! Its also got very high healing, and grants fury, unlike this build, which lacks it for the group. Also, there's a page for heal willbender on Snowcrows, it includes some hammer goodness in the guide.
something nice about this build is that once you've geared it up you almost have everything you need to play heal fire brand you just need different weapons and you can buy givers candy cane exotic weapons which are very cheap (ascended on healers makes little to no difference, only get it for playing fractals) so if you want to move onto a more complicated build you don't need to invest much more gold to do so
Ring of Warding has been updated but no tool tip. 200 defiance break on initial use and 150 if they pass through, don't know if it works but if the ring passes through the boss it might trigger the extra 150.
No, no! Stat-selectable (exotic) gear is bought from Verdant Brink (Bladed armor) or Dragon's Stand (Leystone armor) + Ebon shoulders and that horrid Ice Golem mask :D (Love your vids btw
Cool shit bro, still sticking to Fb quickness/heal tho 😅 and been using the core hammer honors build minus the alac it's just so easy to use just press 1 lol hope your guild is going well dude I was told I got an invite but idk if it differs if you're on another server? I didn't receive anything in mail for inv, I'll hop on Dord and see what's good.
I've been doing firebrand with quickness but using hammer as my main weapon with mace/shield for extra healing and support. It's a lot of fun. Minstrel accessories with Harriors armor/weapons so I still have some damage.
yeah personally i still prefer the quick firebrand healer, but this build is still good to have to started with healilng or if aheal is the only remaining role needed. As for the guild invite I thought i sent you one, try posting your gw2 account name in the guild invite discord and i will try again
You have forced movement that will make tanking difficult from f2. Also, you should use giver's stats if you want to tank anyway, minstrel's will cost you boon duration.
Truly the easiest healer to start learning but two points of I may…. - it is the only healer that suffers from insufficient healing output on harder fights. It will be fine for 95% of the fights but on the rest of the 5%…you WILL struggle - it does not have 3 flex slots unfortunately. It requires „hold the line“ ofc for protection and regen uptime. You just did not have this issue here because of a herald or chrono support im your subgroup
Holy Reckoning doesn't share Fury, you either slot Feel My Wrath or swap Staff for Spear, otherwise you've got 0% shared fury, **really** bad for a healer.
@needingmorepatience Yeah, Signet of Courage's passive healing is really low, the active is nice but it's not a big part by any means. You've got a lot of other active healing sources: Hammer 2, Staff 2, Staff 4, Dodging, Receive the Light and Bow of Truth
Would have been nice to mention the core class, not everyone knows what a willbender is and what level you need to be to play this. Not everyone is a seasoned player 😍
Glacial Heart is a group heal alongside a self heal 3:51. So hammer 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 will all heal your group, as well as staff 5.

snowcrows game play guides are absolutely amazing thank you so much for the hard work you put into making them
Fashion is on point though 🔥

whats that emote at 0:09
elite skill
Would you consider Minstrel tanking in this build?

@NateDin good point
i think the movement of willbender wouldn't be ideal for tanking. The heal firebrand would work a lot better for that
didn't I tell you to make the video's longer because I sleep here ????

Would it be possible to switch out Signet of Courage with Feel My Wrath and still provide good healing?

The gw2kill builder doesn't work :)
Remove the and press enter.
