Heal Quickness Herald PVE Build Guide - Guild Wars 2

- // Balance Patch Update
The quickness generation was moved from Draconic Echo to Elevation Compassion in the Herald Grandmaster Trait Slot. Time to switch traits. The method of quickness application has changed as well. Now instead of applying quickness by consuming your facets you now do it periodically when you have -6 upkeep active. This means you can now apply quickness through Impossible Odds, Vengeful Hammers and Protective Solace. Upkeeping combinations of Facets in Glint will also let you pulse quickness. This build is getting another update mid-July which will reduce the interval at which you apply quickness and increase the overall quickness duration. I will update our Herald builds after then. In the meantime. This gear loadout will work just fine.
Heal Quickness Herald is the most reliable, effective and easy to play support builds in the game. You're obscenely durable, have a simple rotation and have an incredibly easy time keeping up 100% Quickness, Might, Fury, Protection, Regeneration and Swiftness. Not only that, but you also have access to so many blocks and forms of damage mitigation that it is the easiest build to tank on in the game.

I didnt hear it mentioned, so I'll mention it here.
If you need more condi cleanse and ventari true nature plus staff 4 (renewing wave) isnt enough, save staff 4, use ventari bubble (protective solace) and then use staff 4 for an additional cleanse by blast finishing in the light field. Works in any light field but most reliable one is your own😁.
Good guide overall, well done
That's a very good point about blasting Staff 4 in the Protective Solace light field. Will need to make sure I crack that out on Slothasor haha. Glad you enjoyed the guide.
Perfect guide on underrated channel. Thank you for explaining multiple gearing options and rotation.
Why thank you :) Turns out there was more gearing options than I initially thought when I started making this guide.
For anyone new to the game, like me, this class branches off of Revenant. A class that is obtained in the Heart of Thorns expansion.
I find myself looking forward to each build you put out. Good stuff! Thank you.
You're most welcome :) That's so kind of you to say. Thank you.
Thank you for this comprehensive guide! It was great listening to the explanation in a nice pace of what skills to use in what order. I will be re-watching it again once i start gearing up/practising. Looking forward to the next one. Regards, MissBadger
Thanks so much MissBadger :) I'm glad you enjoyed the guide. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about Heal Herald when you start gearing it. I can rant about this class for days haha.
I've always hated herald, and always played renegade but with all the changes and seeing it can now play qheal, I'm definitely gonna try it! Thanks for the guide
Also, how didnt I find your channel sooner? Definitely a follow :)
Amazing, thanks for the guide! Quickness Healbrand is my main, and honestly, this build looks as good, or maybe even better. Uses almost identical gear, too.
I feel that heal quick fb is better than this build still.
Thanks so much! It's so good that you can mostly swap the gear between the two builds.
YES! Just in time to try yet another banger of a revenant build!
I can vouch... this build is an absolute banger haha.
Your guides are so amazing. Hopefully the community will overrun you with praise at some point
Thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say.
Betcha this will age well
Thanks for this guide. I reslly wanted to maintaing maining my revnant for raids and feactals and with this buils i can tank and heal which is amazing
You're very welcome :) so glad you enjoyed the guide.
Very nice guide, Ventari empowered elite skill also now grants 3 stacks of stability so you don't HAVE to use jalis for stability BUT it's still easier to stab your group on jalis.
Thank you :) It's so good having access to Sability of Ventari now. It does take a little getting used to as you need to make sure your Tablet is Empowered before you can actually give Stability. It does mean though that you can have the best of both worlds with the insane Ventari healing and Stability access though.
Lets goooo I was looking forward to this build for a long time
Haha well I hope you enjoy it! This build has been carrying me hard whenever I need to tank on stream and am super distracted by chat.
Very nice! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Man I think I need to try Herald, these latest builds look like so much fun!
Herald is really OP man. Damage and utility is bonkers.
Definitely recommend. I tanked with it on tonight's stream and it was the easiest time I've ever had tanking. Absolutely incredible.
Never played any kind of healer/tank in any group content, but this awesome guide (as usual) excites me!
I don't raid (yet) nor do fractals above T1 (lazy, too busy farming and fishing!) and very occasionally do strikes with chill guild. Mostly as alac/dps specter. Given my inexperience with tanking/healing, and I'm generally not great at keeping eye on what is happening to party members lol - tho slightly improving with my wells - you'd recommend the harriers build? Got two pieces of heavy legendary gear so far, and no problem stat-swapping (or crafting extra pieces of) ascended armor (my Ventari-themed rev - untouched for years - is running cleric it seems!) No issues with weapons and trinkets.
So glad you enjoyed the guide! I do enjoy some alac/dps specter as well, the barrier you can pump out is amazing. If you're just starting out on Herald and don't want to tank I'd recommend going full Harrier's. If you have legendary gear you can swap pieces out for Minstrel/Giver's if you want a bit of extra survivability. If you went this route I wouldn't go above 1500 toughness or so. Any dedicated tank should easily be able to get above that in if not... they're trolling haha.
another professionalism guide as always 😃
My favorite build. I won't lie!! :)
You have excellent taste it appears then haha. This one is by far my favorite build to tank on in the game.
Done and done.. I've gone with the giver's minstrel blend. Nice and tidy
Awesome @CoachDestiny! An excellent choice. I'll be leaning on this build hard whenever I need to tank raids on stream haha.
Been looking for another support healer to play after Druid. This looks pretty fun.
After the last round of balance changes this build is even better than ever. Just make sure to swap Draconic Echo for Elevated Compassion to upkeep quickness.
Hi ConnorConCarne! Thank you for all the great content! I just want to ask, I`m planning to practice on Heal Herald /Heal quickness in open world, what gear would you recommend?
Hey there. You're most welcome. If you want to play Heal Herald in open world I recommend grabbing some Celestial Gear. That was you can still heal and do decent damage to melt mobs in a reasonable
time.
I love these videos
Thanks so much :) I'm so glad you enjoy them.
Nice one!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
This is the build I've stuck around for, been mocked for being a stone rev... no longer.
After trying out Heal Firebrand, Druid and Tempest, Heal Herald is still my favourite to play. Let's hope it stays that way after the upcoming balance patch.
I think Heal Herald will end up with an overall buff from this patch. Having the opportunity to provide quickness in other legends just gives it more options.
@@connorconcarne I fear that it will be way harder to keep all those juicy boons from Glint up permanently, since we won't have Draconic Echo anymore for the quickness builds.
Is there a reason you don't consume facet of nature immediately after the first set of skills at 18:51? Isn't it better to just consume it right then?
Heal Herald is my favorite Quickness Healer. It's great on every encounter that doesn't need you to provide Aegis.
Aegis too strong 😢
Most hb don't use it effectively though
Agreed, it's by far and away my favorite Quickness Healer. The only time I swap off it (unless I'm working on a different guide) is when I specifically need group Aegis or reflects.
@@connorconcarne projectile absorbing barrier is pretty dope, but reflects can be game breaking against certain mechanics
I used to play heal/tank Ren in raids with exp groups
Hey I'm still new to gw2 and I want to try this Herald build as my 2nd character. How does the new patch change this build's gear?
This is easier to play than Quickheal Firebrand. And I main Firebrand but after getting legendary gear and trying Herald I was so shocked how easy this is.
Totally agree, Heal Herald is by far the easiest class to tank and provide quickness on IMO.
@connorconcarne i play HFB, I like to try different builds. Which build do you think it's better for Fractals n Raids between HFB n HHerald?
Maybe I'll play HH. HFB it's sometimes bored 😬
I play both Heal Herald and Heal Firebrand in Fractals/Raids and they both work totally fine. In Fractals I'd give the edge to Firebrand because it has more access to 'on-demand' stability with Stand Your Ground + Mantra of Liberation whereas Herald needs to swap legends to provide it. The aegis can be nice to skip some mechanics as well. The other day I ran Herald for all my Fractal CMs + T4's and it was smooth as butter as well though.
In raids I tend to prefer Herald on any fight where I don't need Aegis or Reflects (mostly Matthias), or if I don't need uber quick access to stability (Slothasor). I have a much easier time keeping up quickness given you apply it in a much larger radius and you massively overcap on boon duration. I also find it to be much more durable with the channeled block and Glint Heal.
@@connorconcarne I never expected such a complete answer. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond, it's amazing to know that the GW2 community is amazing. Infinitas gracias 😊
Good thing: Another overpowered Revenant build majestically covered in the channel
Bad thing: We're running out of overpowered Revenant builds D:
Haha, we still have a few Revenant builds up our sleeve (Power Vindicator, Condi Renegade and Condi Quickness Herald). After that we'll need to branch out into PVP and WvW haha.
@@connorconcarne Yes please! All of it!
How do you craft a Giver's armor?
This build is changing substantially in the next patch
Absolutely! I'll definitely be uploading an updated guide as soon as possible.
Hey connor! is there any way i can make this work with cele and a givers staff? what am i losing out on
Celestial Heal Herald works quite well. It's actually what I used for the new Fractal 100CM the other week. The main thing you're missing out on is some reduced healing in exchange for more damage compared to the Harriers or Minstrel/Giver's sets. Celestial Herald is absolutely incredible for solo play as well.
Can I use elevated compassion instead of draconic echo? I'm using minstrel/givers build.
you NEED to use elevated compassion right now. because thats how you generate quickness currently.
To provide quickness, you need to use Elevated Compassion. It's the only source of Quickness.
is apothecary's viable for this build?
As a HFB-Main, I never thought I would flirt with Heal-Quickness-Herald
Yet here we are
It's so nice to have a decent alternative to HFB. I find providing boons on this build to be so much more consistent.
Side note but that armor looks really nice. Is it an outfit or in game armor piece?
Why thank you, here's the armor pieces:
- Dhuum Shoulders
- Requiem Chest
- Etherbound Gloves
- Ornate Guild Tassets
- Etherbound Boots
@@connorconcarnethanks!
You did not mention the best stat combination - Apothecary's :) . You have low BD with it, but very good DPS for a healer. Especially good for greeding with damage a bit, while also being able to quickly heal if necessary.
I approve.
Hello, did they change it again? I mean removed quickness from Elevated Compassion? I just came back into the game
Welcome back to the game! Elevated Compassion will still give quickness in PVE. I don't believe it does in WvW and PVP through.
Full minstrel, immortal
Honestly, this is probably the most durable build I've played in all my years of GW2 haha.
@@connorconcarne We need revew after new patch x.x.x.x.x pleaaase
can you use cele stats with this build?
Sure thing, Celestial would work just fine. It's what I used all the time when I was doing Silent Surf Challenge Mode
Hello, is the Celestial gear viable for this build?
Celestial Gear would work just fine. That's what I used for ages when I would use Quickness Heal Herald on Fractal 100 CM.
where to find superior rune of the monk ?
You can buy Rune of the Monk from the dungeon armour merchant under the Ascalonian Catacombs tab.
Is this updated to November 2023 patch?
hi hi, is this build still viable after the 27th update?
Video Description will tell you :)
@@rechenjoe ty mate
The build is still fantastic (and slightly better than it was due to Ventari giving Stability now). After the next patch it will be even better with the reduced Quickness application interval and free boon duration you'll be getting.
How viable is this build for solo/open world content?
Hi :) In general, I wouldn't use a Heal Build in solo/open world content. It will take you too long to defeat enemies as this build is more focused on supporting your team. The Power Quickness Herald build however is amazing in Open World.
what is this staf skin?
That would be Nevermore, the Generation 2 legendary staff skin.
What is a Tablet?
That would be the healing tablet you summon when you enter the Ventari Legend.
People are sleeping on Rev in general. It is literally the best class amongst all in current. What I mean by that is... It has extremely good builds across all specs including damage, quickness, and alac boon supports.
Even Alac Heal Ren is amazing. In my opinion, quickness dps supports outshine alac dps in GW's current state, so I'd almost always recommend Alac Heal over Quick Heal... But Herald is amazing so it doesn't matter too much.
TLDR. Rev is amazing and can do anything across any Elite Spec. Don't sleep on Heal Alac Ren.
Totally agree that Rev is the best overall class at the moment. Such build diversity, can cover off on every role and be good at them at the same time. I do need to spend some time messing with Heal Alac Renegade. I've always enjoyed playing it in the past. Just wish it covered off on a few more key boons haha.
@@connorconcarne i usually do a cele/pack rune set up which covers the might with Kala F2, other than that.. Kala also it keeps up great alac, prot, fury, and regen. You could also get more regen uptime with ventari, and optional util from jalis.
I hope this build becomes more accepted by pugs. tired of HB
I think more and more people are happy to take this over Firebrand. I'd personally be more confident in a random Heal Herald to upkeep 100% quickness than a random Heal Firebrand. The large boon application radius and insane levels of boon duration give you so much room for error.
I'm not understanding where you're getting quickness from. Did I kiss something?
You'll get quickness from having 6 or more points of 'upkeep' and having the trait Elevated Compassion. Just have the energy arrows pointing to the left and you'll pulse quickness.
just recently returned there is dooming about quick herald what changed ?
