Default Best warrior forms of self healing?

Anyone know what the best skill for self healing as a warrior? The only two skils i know are healing signet and lion's comfort. I'm used to playing a derv, so having no constant regen is weird to me lol. Anyone know what skills i can use that isn't spike healing? Skills that compliment the warrior? No wammo stuff please

thats your answer. LC or HS is it. anything else is a waste, and i wouldn't even suggest those two skills. welcome to warrior, where dealing damage is what you're made of.

A warriors best form of healing is healing from his monks.

how do you expect to get nice healing without W/Mo?

I would say [vigorous spirit] and/or [healing seed] and/or [seed of life]
they compliment warriors pretty well

otherwise you could go W/A and use [deaths charge]

or go W/R and use [melandrus resilience] and/or [troll unguent]

The Seed spells effect other allies only.

Shadowsteps are usually used for offense.

For your /R one, I'm scared.

Let your Monks do the job. If you're really concerned go take Lion's Comfort.

Vigorous spirit isn't going to do anything if you need a heal and you're backing up towards your monks to avoid being killed. Healing seed and seed of life are target other ally.

Death's charge is a bad heal because if you need a heal, the last thing you want to do is shadow step to an enemy capable of killing you.

Melandru's resilience takes away your elite and IAS spot, not to mention it's useless if you have no conditions or hexes on you. Even if there are a few, healing over time < direct healing, which is why troll unguent is bad too.

On my other "main" character, a warrior, I use either Healing Signet or Lion's Comfort...depending on how much other adrenaline I'm using on other skills.

LC should be pretty much it. HS is pointless nowadays because the rest of the tactics line sucks. Plus, LC pumps adrenaline too, so as long as your not relaying on many signets, it should pretty much be your main self-heal.

Even so, Monks do most of the healing anyway, and if your getting enough aggro that you are dieing, it generally means that a monk or two is dead.

One common mistake amongst warriors is the need of having a self-heal for resist the loads of damage from monstahs. You, as a warrior, must rely on your monk´s healing skillZ. If your monk dies, or if he is baed, you´ll die anyway.

LC is 1337. It powers up your adren skills, heals for a decent amount, it's in Strength (which you should be pumping anyway), so this is the best one IMO.

The following applies specifically to Teh AB Warriorz, who have to do a lot of running inbetween fights:

While I do agree with others that a Warrior should leave the healing to a monk or even a Rit there are some builds that allow for some big healing...

[vital boon]+[Signet of Pious Light] can be a very huge heal if your running a [Ebon Dust Aura] or [Vow of Strength] build.

The ebon dust build is mostly a farm build with cyclone axe and weapon swaping between earth/zealous.
VoS build is with a scythe and [i am the strongest]+[Aura of Holy Might] + [flail] Raidiant armor and a zealous scythe

If you want a self-heal, the only worthwhile thing to take is LC. Heal Sig is ok but its Tactics, and there isn't really much reason to use it these days (even if you have a Tactics shield, losing 8 armor isn't a big deal). Relying on secondary skills to heal = fail.

Great! - I have to follow Marty -like that's not enough pressure....
"ok, next up is Marty Silverblade!" our next best hope for the future of Warriordom - and afterward - A new warrior trying to make a change using the Warrior equivalent of Ghandi, or Joan of Arc. - the poor new guy!

My take: If you're playing with a well rounded group you'll never need a self heal. Your hero monk will take care of you - no worries :-) / now if you put a terrible build on your heroes, then you get out what you put in -- crap...

^Yep. Ive vanquished almost all of tyria, and I have stopped taking a self heal anymore. You kill stuff. Your monks heal. You win. It's pretty simple.

[Lion's Comfort], and even that I usually just use when I need a bit of extra adrenaline quickly, say if for whatever reason [Dragon Slash] still needs a few hits to charge.
