What skills do you use on your healer?

Tasear

Just curious what everyone is using on their healers. Do you find any skills essential?

DoonerSeraph

Blessing of.... Nah, Combat Prayer

My warden bars:

Blue Betty, Mutagen, Healing Springs, Siphon Spirit, Combat Prayer, Light Champion

Expansive Frost Cloak, Lightning Blockade, Vigor(for Powerful Assault), Energy Orb, Enchanted Growth, Permafrost.

I would rate as essential on my build: Energy Orb, Siphon Spirit, Light Blockade, Light Champion, Combat Prayer.

I'm new to healing, but for the most part I run:

Destro bar: Elemental blockade, elemental drain, shards, restoring focus, extended ritual
Resto bar: Healing springs, mutagen, combat prayer, healing ward, breath of life

It seems pretty effective

I'm a Templar, so for me breath of life is the most essential. Also Mutagen and Healing springs

Mutagen.
The absolute only skill that I never remove from my Healers for 90% of content, except in Trials in which it gets replaced by Healing Springs.

The range of skill of PUG groups varies so greatly that every other skill I utilize on my Healers I classify as flex skills.

Refreshing path
funnel health
Healthy offering
Mutagen(or springs for trials)
Combat prayer
WoE

Resto ult/horn/veil/soul siphon

Everything else is flex based on group and content

For pve obviously

AcadianPaladin

Resto bar: Ext Ritual, Channel Focus, Mutagen, Healing Springs, BoL

Destro bar: EleDrain, Shards, Reflective Light, Lightning Blockade, Sweeps

My Templar healer has loads of skills developed but slotting depends on content. My preferred content is duo’ing group dungeons with a friend, pugging normals, WB, questing. That is, lots of varied content but no vet and no trials and generally any time I’m supporting a 4 player group it is a pug rather than a coordinated group. More specifically, I need to deal with a boss in my face (Channel Focus, Sweeps), weak dps (Sweeps, Reflective Light) who don’t know positioning and all the other fun things of ‘casual’ grouping.

The most obvious skill missing here is Combat Prayer. I find that playing with casual groups, positioning to cover most of them is too hard. Also, they generally don’t do enough dps that +8% means a whole lot.

Too many good skills, not enough slots. I’d love to add Combat Prayer, Purifying Light, Radiant Glory. . . .
