Heal Renegade - GW2 | Discretize [dT]

The Heal Renegade plays with a mix of harrier’s and cleric’s gear for maximum power and healing power while still hitting 100% boon duration.

Since the damage and life steals of Soulcleave's Summit are based on the Heal Renegade‘s own power and healing power, the Heal Renegade aims to maximize those stats.

Feel free to run full Harrier if you are confident that you don’t need the extra healing power or toughness from cleric. The more agony resistance you have, the more cleric you can afford to run and still hit 100% boon duration.

Healing Basics

Your healing skills in order of effectiveness are:

With Soulcleave's Summit you can sustain your group for the whole time you have energy on Legendary Renegade Stance . When you are about to swap off, you should use your Breakrazor's Bastion on the group as it lingers even when you swap to a different legend and will maintain the heals. Legendary Centaur Stance has a good proactive way to lessen the incoming damage by proper usage of Protective Solace . You also have heals when you use your basic staff auto attack Rejuvenating Assault (note that this is the last part of the auto attack sequence).
