Hey,

I've been trying to make my elementalist a healer for a while now (for reference: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=112194 ). Basically, you run a build with endless energy, you just gotta find a way to translate all that energy into healing.

This topic is mostly to share my latest e/mo healing build, I think I could measure up to monks with it healing wise. On the other hand, unlike monks this build will never run out of energy. Two sides of that because monks could remove conditions and whatnot aswell.

So on to the build!

Attributes:

12+1+3 Energy Storage
12 Healing Prayers

Ether Prodigy {ELITE}
Jamei's Gaze
Heal Other
Healing Seed
Healing Breeze
Heal Area
Aura of Restoration
Rebirth

As for weapons, the weapons I use have everything you could want. What you >need< is 20% enchantment, nice mods are +1 healing +health + energy. The combination I use is obtainable for 15k so that shouldnt be too hard.

Other skill that I used to use are Infuse Health and Heal party, both Jamei's Gaze and Heal Other are nice healing spells and make sure you never get caught on cooldown. Aura of Restoration together with Healing Seed is a nice 200 self heal. Basically you got 95 energy, and 10 pips of regen so just keep spamming your spells in the battle. Heal Area when you you're being focused... pretty self explaining.

Comments appreciated ^^

The build would be a nice addition in a group since it relieves some stress from the monks. Though a monk out heal you easily. I would rather take one or two healing spells and keep some attack spells or support spells on your bar instead.

This way you are still assisting the monks but you are also active in the fight.

Just my opinion though, so don't let it influence your idea. You have to make the best of your build and unique builds are always nice to have.

With that much energy storage power, I'd suggest trying divine boon for an extra +30 hp per spell, heal other is spammable enough to be the main heal, and Secondary healing may come from vigorous spirit. Healing seed/Heal area seem kind of wasteful time spent casting compared to casting heal other. Good build, but I think it can improve by taking out seed and area.

Divine Boon
Vigorous Spirit

Heal Party!

I also think you should put in some other skills. Windborne Speed, for example, or Blinding Flash. Or a ward.

I agree with Higher int.

I've been running a "healer build" so to say with my E/Mo it's mostly a pvp support healer build really, but ive recently been looking for a more powerful healing build

From what I can tell the most efficent healing for an Ele is to spec to about 9 in healing prayer and 9 in divine favor 7-9 in energy storage and rest in ice magic.

Always keep the divine enchatment that gives like 32-65 bonus for casting healing spells up, use orison and kiss of dawaya as ur main heals and either HO/HP or HB for your 3rd heal. I like to use restoration for my rez and combine it with Mist form as my elite so I can battle rez effectivly. (just make sure u have enough in ice to get mist forms duration to about 10 seconds) and I use ice spear and frozen burst for offence and roots to keep things off me.

But elementalists dont get Divine Favor... it will just heal for another 25 for 2energy and -1 energy regen. Compared to... Heal Other, for instance that heals for 60 every 2 energy... that doesnt seem like a good deal at all.

I'm not entirely certain how I'm supposed to boon heal like suggested. I guess it's wishful thinking. I'm sorry H2BH but the build that you are suggesting cannot work at all because of this.

I'm not entirely certain if a monk could outheal this build. For a monk to spam heals like this build can with heal other and janei's gaze he'll need to use divine boon. Using 7 energy spells and having -1 energy regen with half the energy pool an elementalist has and less pips of regen. Especially when you factor in that Ether Prodigy is probably the best energy management out there the elementalist does have the advatage when it comes to pure healing. The thing is, monks also protect heal conditions and cure hexes while healing.

Just some one liners

Heal Area - isnt a heal for someone else, it's the only self heal I got. Together with Aura of Restoration it heals for about 200.

Heal Party - as you can see in my old build. I like Heal Party spam. However, now it is a 4 second cycle (2 second casting time, 2 second recharge) where-as before it didnt have a cooldown. Even though you have the energy for it, it's just a really slow heal, and only for 67.

Healing Seed - I like how I'm able to somewhat protect with this spell. Good usage of seed can negate so much damage. It's basically, Healing Seed on the main target, breeze the targets that are getting some fire and heal other the rest. Vigorous Spirit might work really well, I would need to try that.
