I'll add as a caveat to this list that when it comes to GvG, heal selfishly. Prioritize your healthbar over the healthbar of your squad. It sounds counter intuitive, but healers in PvP are essentially tanks that the enemy can't ignore. Normally tanks don't do much damage, so they can be safely bypassed to kill dps first, and then get mopped up later. Healers can't be ignored because of our ability to keep our own dps users in the fight, so any competent guild is going to try to dive healers especially hard. Use all of your cooldowns keeping youself alive and in the fight for as long as possible, as any single-target damage you absorb is damage not focused on killing the dps characters that are the real threat. This also means that your positioning matters a lot more, as you know with 100% certainty that multiple dps characters WILL come to kill you every fight. You can use this to your advantage by positioning on the outside of your backline, so that any aoe skills targeted at you ONLY hit you instead of your main ball, while also drawing valuable dps characters to the outside of your main formation, where they are most vulnerable. Your primary concern should be keeping yourself alive in GvG, you can't heal your team if you are dead. If you're the first to die in your squad because you sacrificed yourself to save them by comprimising your own position, or burnt important cooldowns to keep their health topped off 100% of the time, then you probably let them down.
What’s the best way to ally target heal on controller? I always had issues figuring out how to reliably enter and scroll in the party menu so I just switched to AOE heal/support only. For most PVE content it’s enough anyways, but I would like to play the role to its full potential.
I changed the target selection to be regular up and down on the d pad, with no modifier. Unfortunately I have to hold L2 to use potions but it's okay. When I do harder content like pvp or tier 3+ trials I swap to KBM because it is far more reliable
I actually dropped healing touch completely for my gvg build. I would use it to top off and then right after, someone would need big heals and swift would be on CD. So I would rather not have my oh shit button be on cd when I need it…

@ Ah ok didn’t realize that was an option, thanks!

You always want to top off your allies 😳🤣
This sounds like it was written by chat gpt
how to I increase my chance of getting world or arc boss drops as a healer?
Make a DPS build.
join a guild
Make sure you’re in a party and throwing heals out as often as you can, bc heals increase odds. Don’t die as it greatly reduces contributions
@@PapaRabii is over heal counts?
Dude u have 13k hp as healer😂 u permadeath
dude u need to be more observant at the end it shows his health is over 17k and mana just over 9k as well
