REAL TALK: 1) I am sorry it is 20 minutes long. There was just a lot to cover. 2) Even as a healer, you can buff yourself up with Nutri Soder and compound soder to increase your Restoration. 3) Artifacts and SP are REALLY important to be able to heal Elite raids or difficult end-game content. Get your Artifacts to 200 and SP to minimum 400 for effective healing. 4) Do NOT spam your powers. Those healers who do so put everyone at risk because when the actual healing will be needed, you will be out of power. Instead, learn your powerset, see which heal over time lasts for how long, don't spam. 5) If you have low sp, do not spec for Brawling into MA but instead go for Handblasters and put 1 or 2 sp in that. 6) For Augments, use Restoration based augments. For Base mods, use Power and Restoration. 7) Above all, make sure YOU survive while healing. If you are dead, there won't be anybody to heal. So follow the mechanics of your raid/alert while you heal. Happy Gaming! - iEddy
Thanks iEddy for the content, much appreciated. I’m a 9th year nature healer. Just wanted to clarify and provide guidance for those reading. Blossom is a priority heal for every single person who has pheromones (your healing over time) on them. This ends up making blossom an 8man priority heal. It does not only heal you and one other most injured. If you use Orb of Orion, it will heal people individually for it’s duration. As opposed to you doing it yourself without the Orb of Orion to capture everyone at the same time, every time. 5 pheromones exist in total (Savage Growth, Metabolism, Cross Pol, Flourish, Bloom). Only 4 will co exist at the same time (Savage Growth, Metabolism, Cross Pol, Flourish). Bloom and Savage Growth pheromones overwrite each other. Savage growth, Blossom and Swarm Shield are not close range powers. They are extremely long range. As long as you have line of sight on your team, you can use any of those three ability’s to heal and shield from as far away as you want. Again, this only works for Savage Growth, Swarm Shield and Blossom.
Great detailed explanation. Thank you. One question, as per my knowledge, savage growth is bugged and is not supposed to be long range. It used to be extreme close range many years ago, you would remember. So the question is did they change that and mentioned in patch notes or is it just an accidental happy bug that its full range heal now?
@@iEddyGaming Not a problem. I don’t think it’s supposed to be this way, but I’m cool with it. Not many would notice this. I’d lean more towards happy accidental bug. Doesn’t seem like they’ve taken too much of a look back at nature since revamp away from advanced mechanic days 🤷🏽♂️. Only thing I really want them to do is to change how swarm shield looks on players, make it look more like a noticeable shield like the other healer powers.
Idk how accurate this post is since it was posted a year ago. But blosom clearly says it will only heal you and one other person. So does this heal the group or only you and one other?
I always keep flourish and bloom in my loadout because these two also heal the pets and npcs so they don't easily die during alerts and result in loss of overall dps output
My Playstyle is something I like to call a shield healer. It's a healer that can heal others but focuses a lot on moves that mitigate/absorbe damage for their allies and themselves more so than just pure healing so their healing output is lower than other healers because they have more defensive options like shields and bubbles/barriers and stuff that mitigate/absorb damage for your allies. Like Scholar from FFXIV or Discipline Priest from WoW so what power would be good or close to that?
I want to go nature but the power cost and animation are just bleh but I know it’s good healing power and I have the proper gear and sp to manage just fine but will see I think I’m switch just to give it a go why not awesome video to Ed :)
Hi eddy, thx for all your vids! I'm looking for a power that can be very good at healing in groups (alerts, raids) but also that can make good damage to make solo/duos missions easily (or even in alerts and raid if its possible). Would being a "battle healer" be viable in T5 T6 or do u advise me to focus on heal and not on heal+dps? And second question, which power would u advise me ? I have low skill points (120) and no artifacts maxed. Thx in advance for your answer and thx for doing your nice vids they are very useful
Hello Jerome! My suggestion would be to go Celestial. It is great healing power and one of the best dps power in game. Going Battle Healer is ok as long as you have skill points to help you with healing + damage. Since you are still working on SP and Artifacts, I would suggest you stay full healer or full dps. Focus on one role first, get those artifacts up. There might be a 2x Artifact XP event coming soon, so you might wanna wait for that. Good luck =)
Nice vid. Although I don't think nature is as strong as the other healers, it can still heal all content. I am nature right now, and have healed it all with no issues. By the way, Savage Growth is supposed to be close range, but it's actually broken. I did a test with another nature healer and we could use it to heal from one side of Washington DC to the other side! (I stood on the road next to Giganta and he stood on the road next to Grodd) Corner to corner, full line of sight, maximum range, it still healed... No other power did. I don't know of any other heal on any other powerset that has anywhere close to that range. Keep in mind, this was at the start of the episode and haven't tested it since, so it may have been silently fixed in a patch.
@@dcuoffendinghabits7949 I agree, Nature is not about just smashing buttons, it has to be done with class lol. Nature and electricity to me are the top healing powers in no order atm followed by water. I have around 113k resto and buffed I get 142k+resto, that with trans, phr and page it is a beast, I can literally solo face tank as nature the dk bosses at the new dc instance because the H.O.L. (Healing over time) dots are just op. In source wall, put me a battery troll and I can go Ultra Instinct healing mode with nature lol. Thinking again, nature is not for everybody. You gotta know what you are doing.
Thanks man! Beard is called Jolly Beard available during Christmas event. You can also get it in broker if anybody is selling it. The Hairstyle is from 31st Century Legion's vendor.
Page/PHR/EOG, with all the HoTs you shouldn't need transformation card, and orb has been useless for awhile. Yes with nature your priority heals multi targets, BUT orb still isn't better than PHR/page/EOG not for end game
If you are new that means you need to work on your combat rating, artifacts, augments, skill points, etc. There is a lot to work on while practicing how to heal. The video shows you your end goal. Work your way towards it.
hey IEddy, its Niftiac or Torosis here. What's good? I agree, I put the extra SPs in Dom too, but I think I'd rather put extra SPs in Health over Might & Power as I don't run Orb Of Arion and I'm rarely out of power. What's so good about Purple Healing Ray is its a free priority heal or a group heal since it resets the cooldown the of that move used with no power cost and gives I think a 3% power boost. So I agree, that it works well with Orb in that aspect. Before I quit the game pre covid (I recently came back), Blossom is theoretically a "group heal". The description is really hard to understand fully. I don't know about now since I haven't tested it out, but I tested it out pre covid. So long as any members in your group (2 man to 8 man) has Phermones, they will receive a priority heal. Now the caveat is that some will receive a bigger burst priority heal than others, not sure why. But that makes nature OP in my book. I like your LOs for basic nature healing, I personally use bug form to apply more Phermones. Oh last thing, it seems like the Phermones from Savage Growth and Bloom does not stack. Which is very odd, cause all other Phermones from the other moves stack. IMO, nature is the most versatile healing power. I know two others who are effective nature healers who has different Arts and LOs than me, and all three of us heal well. Case in point with the Arts: 1. I run Page, PHR, and Cloak, 2. another runs Page, PHR, and Orb, and 3. the third runs Page, PHR, and Trans. (I think Strat card is ok too, I'd run Strat if I didn't run Cloak) (PHR=Purple Healing Ray)
Hey man! Long time. Good to see you. Yup you are absolutely right. I noticed that too that savage growth and bloom didn't stack. The problem with Nature is that its heavily HoT dependant. So in new elite raids where even adds does massive amount of damage, people die pretty quickly with burst heals. That's the only reason I preferred using Orb. Things were way better back when there were no artifacts. Nature healing was top notch and was easily one of the most used healer power. Remember Devour Power? Dude was beast of a Nature Healer haha. Anyways, yup my loadouts are mainly focused towards beginners and or people who are having trouble understanding the powerset. That's why I try to keep it simple and explain as much as I can. Anyways, hit me up ingame whenever you need me. You are welcome to join my league if you need one. Be safe bud.
@@iEddyGaming I appreciate the league joining so much. Actually, I just used a free jump to 310 on a water guy. I missed water. I dont remember Devour cause I jumped on nature late. I was always sorc healing over 6 or 8 years ago. then like celestial for a good 3 or 4 years. and then water for like two years and finally found nature. like maybe a year or two before covid started. i love healing...got a character in 4 of the healer powersets. I'm just missing celestial now. And the entire time, I have an electric alt throughout all these years since like a year or two of its inception. If its ok with you and your league, I would like having my water alt there. Actually, I know what you mean about the lack of burst heals. I healed the new elite raid successfully last night. So the good thing about Blossom is its basically a burst heal for the group. I try to keep Flourish on cooldown to refresh Phermones and use Blossom with Metabolism as much as I can so its easier for me to spam Blossom when I don't have Orb. And my oh crap moves would be Swarm Shield and Regeneration. That's why I run Cloak. The best thing about Shield and Regen is they are usable while controlled. So like that one add that stuns you on the first boss fight, and then the second to last fight and last fight, I have two moves to help the group when I'm being crowd controlled. But yes, you are right. I like how you keep it simplistic for beginners. Sometimes I check out your videos to see if I missed anything for myself, and sometimes I do miss something. Yes, I'll hit you up in-game some time. Be safe!
Thank you for your kind words. Here is my munitions guide: th-cam.com/video/zIv7DcO_kR8/w-d-xo.html Don't worry about the year mentioned because this build still works as there has been no changes made to Munitions by developers. 😊
Precision DPS: ST = Dual Wield Flurry-Shot Mastery - AOE = Brawling Shrunken-Storm Mastery - Melee = Two-Handed (fill out the whole tree and tap until you can spin.) I forgot what the move is called. Might DPS = Dual Wield. (One tap range before you use each power.) Healer = Brawling Shrunken-Storm Mastery. Controller = Brawling Shrunken-Storm Mastery. Tank = One-Handed (just first spec so you can lunge and block-break enemies.) I hope this helped! And just know, only because these are the “best” weapons doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use whats fun/comfortable to you. I know this comments a bit late as well but if you see this, have a great day!
Just wanted to add that there's another loadout that nature healers can use, if you are highly proficient you can use a no shield loadout Savage, Cross P, Metab, Flourish, Blossom, and Pheromone Bloom I personally suggest using Trans/PHR/Orb for Arts but you can swap out the Orb for Page or Clarion If you run the loadout as described from left to right you can clip the first 3 powers or the last two for the OH $hit moments and if you run both clips you can save PoT by spamming flourish to refresh your HoTs Also of note, by using PHR with Orb you can save Pot due to the cooldown mechanics, I believe
REAL TALK:
1) I am sorry it is 20 minutes long. There was just a lot to cover.
2) Even as a healer, you can buff yourself up with Nutri Soder and compound soder to increase your Restoration.
3) Artifacts and SP are REALLY important to be able to heal Elite raids or difficult end-game content. Get your Artifacts to 200 and SP to minimum 400 for effective healing.
4) Do NOT spam your powers. Those healers who do so put everyone at risk because when the actual healing will be needed, you will be out of power. Instead, learn your powerset, see which heal over time lasts for how long, don't spam.
5) If you have low sp, do not spec for Brawling into MA but instead go for Handblasters and put 1 or 2 sp in that.
6) For Augments, use Restoration based augments. For Base mods, use Power and Restoration.
7) Above all, make sure YOU survive while healing. If you are dead, there won't be anybody to heal. So follow the mechanics of your raid/alert while you heal.
Happy Gaming!

So is it best not to play heal role unless your sp is high?
You can still play healer role as long as you know what you are doing. High ranked Artifacts will help alot until you get your sp up.
Which healing power is best in your opinion?
Celestial is my favourite because it works in every situation. Water is really good too.

@iEddyGaming so I know this it going to sound dumb but when your a healer in an alert or raid you really do not fight you just heal?
Yup. You just heal while doing some weapon damage. Other than that use orbitals, henchmen, etc. for extra damage. But thats it

What’s the best weapon
For what role?
Precision DPS: ST = Dual Wield Flurry-Shot Mastery - AOE = Brawling Shrunken-Storm Mastery - Melee = Two-Handed (fill out the whole tree and tap until you can spin.) I forgot what the move is called.
Might DPS = Dual Wield. (One tap range before you use each power.)
Healer = Brawling Shrunken-Storm Mastery.
Controller = Brawling Shrunken-Storm Mastery.

I hope this helped! And just know, only because these are the “best” weapons doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use whats fun/comfortable to you. I know this comments a bit late as well but if you see this, have a great day!
Just wanted to add that there's another loadout that nature healers can use, if you are highly proficient you can use a no shield loadout
Savage, Cross P, Metab, Flourish, Blossom, and Pheromone Bloom
I personally suggest using Trans/PHR/Orb for Arts but you can swap out the Orb for Page or Clarion
If you run the loadout as described from left to right you can clip the first 3 powers or the last two for the OH $hit moments and if you run both clips you can save PoT by spamming flourish to refresh your HoTs
Also of note, by using PHR with Orb you can save Pot due to the cooldown mechanics, I believe
What about Allies?
