Ratings
Can provide a very wide spread of boons along with consistent healing and barrier, though it can feel like two different healers mashed together. Relies on ally targetting to unlock its full potential and GW2 wasn't really designed for that.
Definitely can get the job done and keep your party standing while providing alac, fury, vigor, regen, and protection and respectable amounts of CC. Great burst healing through Consume Shadows and resurrections potential with Shadestep. However, it lacks consistent stability along and the five second delay in your biggest burst heal, quickly reacting to panic situation is a bit sketchy in high pressure situations.
Along with the fact that Heal Alac Mechanist and now Heal Alac Druid can perform better in most, if not all situations, and that some of the biggest strengths of this build can also be achieved with a DPS Alac Specter build, I find it hard to recommend this build for optimized groups.
That being said, it's perfectly passable as a healer, and its a very fun, fast paced playstyle that's easy to pick up. If optimization is not your goal and you'd like to try something completely different from your normal heal builds, this may just be the build for you.
Please don't listen to the guy that gave this build 2 stars.... He must be trolling. This build is perfect for healing and supplies Alac for the group.
So far from testing , this works. Did good with Eod strikes, but have not tried raids yet.
Very fun elite spec to play, and i would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try out healing/support. Most people that say this spec is not good are just toxic players that never pull away from the meta. People seems to forget that the point of the game is to have fun, and this spec has a ton of it. Make sure your squad/party stands in boons , and dont be shy to use them. I was able to complete all raids,strikes, and all t3 fractals with no problem.
You can Zap People back to life in down state. Very fun spec for Eod Strikes, and would say100% viable.
Really good Build for strikes and t3+ fractals. Loving the single target heal and Insta res it has. Overall this build is fine for raids ands strikes bringing Alac to the table.
Had a lot of fun with this build paired with druid as the other healer. Easily made quick work of of the new Eod Strikes. I would recommend giving this build a try for healing/ alac.
Can work in a pinch but doesn't do anything that another class just does way better. Better off going condi boon support to still decent DPS and provide alacrity
i really like this build for fractal and strike , it just work, kinda hard to get ppl to stay in well for boons but i guess people will get used to it
it heals more then youd think
my favorit by far from this extention
