What is the best healing skill line for subclassing?

Which classes healing skill line is the strongest and best for subclassing?

Munkfist

There are many options, but I stick with Restoring Light (Templar), Siphoning (Nightblade), and Green Balance or Winter's Embrace (both Warden)

Big buffs, big heals.

A lot of people will swear by Green Balance for the Toughness passive. It’s the reason a Warden healer was all but mandatory in pretty well every trial for ages.

After that, Restoring Light would probably be the second choice.

For PVP, Siphoning and Storm Calling.

Restoring Light/Green Balance/Siphoning is meta
bone tyrant sometime can run
And maybe Colo or atro dd line if your group need more there buff
But I choose Green Balance is best,jut only the passive is completely irreplaceable.

LunaFlora

my healer build uses:
- Green Balance.
Budding Seeds, and Mushrooms.
- Curative Runeforms.
Arcanist's Domain, Runemend, the Glyph ultimate, Chakram Shields.
- Restoring Light.
Cleansing Ritual.

plus all the passives from those lines are useful. cant imagine not using Green Balance on a healer due to the Minor Toughness buff.

Green balance, Restoring Light, and Siphoning will be universally applicable across PVE or PVP because additional ulti-gen is a big part of the current meta, and siphoning helps your sustain substantially, which is a critical attribute for healers IMO.

Outside of those three, situationally, the necro healer line (living death) can be really strong and helpful (necro res).

I'm not a big fan of the arcanist as a healer, but the channeled carpet heal can be REALLY strong if you build for it.

I have also tooled around the idea of building a shield-centric healer out of a DK, but I haven't gotten a chance to experiment with it, since I've only just completed levelling all my subclasses.

depends on you base class. I like the arcanists tree with sorc pets on nightblade
