Welcome back friends! This episode is based on my favorite healer this patch, the one, the only, Heal alacrity scourge! It is an extremely potent healer! A common misconception is that it cannot overheal well. That is WRONG. Good barrier means you can heal the other sub MORE. If your first sub is barrier protected it makes it easier for heals to spill into the next sub. That being said swiftness and stability are applied weirdly and im hoping anet make them easier to apply. Taking a herald with you makes your team unkillable! Thanks everyone! Please subscribe if you haven't already, and join the discord if you have any questions you'd like answered! Until next time friends.

I play a similar build, the only the really different is I take a Staff with Soul Marks instead of Unyielding Blast, and with F1, F2, Desiccate and Serpent Siphon I have enough Might Generation, and enough Life Force to basically just press all my Shades off of Cool Down. Did not realize that Warhorn 5 also Healed my Allies too, I will need to Weapon Swap more often. Overall, I think Heal Scourge has become one of my new Fav Healers of Choice, and if you go with either a Quick Brand or a Quick Herald then the lack Aegis or Stab is not that bad, and has been absolute Clutch still on Boneskinner groups or other Instants where groups can get downed to a bad mechanic.

Serpent Siphon is definitely not mandatory. You want to bring it along with Trail of Anguish for many fights where aegis and stab are very useful, but otherwise you can swap it for something else. Spectral Grasp can be taken for more CC, Corrosive Poison Cloud for blocking projectiles, Sand Swell for kiting and mobility etc. In general heal Scourge allows more freedom in utility skills than for example heal alac druid. The only problem I have is that there is really no elite skill that would be particularly useful, so you take fleshgolem for additional CC, Ghastly Breach if boonstrip/additional might is required and/or when you don't need CC.

There is no secondary utility that you can take that is better or performs better than serpent siphon. You have one free utility slot already to fit something else. Serpent siphon provides might via barrier trait, aegis, barrier, condi cleanses, and regen all in one cast. It's value is much too high and unless you absolutely NEED to have two specific utilities to the encounter then I cannot in good confidence reccomend the general public remove serpent siphon for something else. If necro utility got buffed even further I'd be inclined to agree but as of now while technically you do not need it, it's probably a net loss to remove it unless you have a specific purpose. 😉

One thing I'm still a bit fuzzy on regarding how heal scourge works, and hopefully someone can explain. My understanding is the heal scourge is there primarily to provide barrier.. not actual heals. So the emphasis on plus heal stats, what all does that affect, exactly? Do heal stats affect barrier in some way? Or is it just there for Well of Blood, and for the bit of regen provided by Serpent Siphon?

If your heal scourge is a good friend, he can use relic of Febe for perm swiftness. But I agree anet need to buff warhorn or trail of anguish.

@Cross_111 Жыл бұрын
Could work but its better to focus Because dps stats are not really significant - you lack the traits to do dps Therefore while it works (boon should be ok - healing could be better tbh) its preferable to make dedicated gear (harrier, minstrel, giver) - whatever you prefer (tanking or not) But to have celestial gear is never a bad idea for a good open world/wvw scourge/harbinger

Quick mention, on ashcg you DO NOT need Siphon nor WH5 to provide alacrity to your subgroup. Which means you can replace those for much better options like tp, cc or signet or simply ignoring SH5 in your rotation most of the time. :) (This is in the case aegis is not required obv)

I agree. You can use BiP to generate more might and than dessicate and signet of undeath for revive and lifeforce generation. Anyway i think using siphon is a must for the protection uptime it provides.

You need Serpent Siphon most of the time because of aegis. If the fight doesn't require you to go aegis you can obviously take more CC or even minions for additional dps. Signet is kinda pointless, bc dagger heal Scourge has more than enough life force to freely spam all shade abilities and fully cap the life force.
