Why is my vigor not healing me as much as a resto staff?

It just doesn't make sense that my 2-handed sword or bow can't heal the same as a healing staff! Please explain.

    Oh and yes I'm joking because too many ppl can't look at anything objectively, so hopefully this will make ppl rethink some things....

    It doesn’t make sense that you use a magic stick to heal yourself.

    Just go to the hospital and GTFOutta here with that holistic herbal crap.

    Wheres my stamina healing club? Idk what you mean by healing as much as a resto either, because the resto staff is pretty much all healing skills and a healing ulti. I know you're being sarcastic but it just seems like an odd comparison.

    Vigor is just a stamina heal, really the only one we have to heal others outside of class skills. For weapon skills we have some random heals tossed in with damage but only self heals, and the only good ones are rally and draining shot. Draining shot is good, for sure, but unreliable. Rally is great for a self heal but if you want to heal your allies, while playing a stamina class, you are stuck with vigor or warden.

    Ring of Preservation also heals you now every 0.5s. While also granting you minor protection and doesn't require i specific weapon. but alas its stationary

    Ya I saw that but its just not going to be reliable. It will be cool for certain play styles and situations but not comparable to vigor. Especially for solo. But its a good change, ring of preservation i mean, its just not the one we need.

    So THAT’S what the non-staff weapons of Olorime/Sanctury/etc are for. Beating some sense heath into people.

    I heal myself by running away and hiding until all the nasties are gone.

    My main thing is, self healing in general was vastly overpowered early in PTS. You still have tools to self heal, but having a healer on your team to supplement self heals means something now. In the grand scheme of things, nobody has gone through every gear set/weapon trait/mundus sign/cp combination yet to boost certain attributes in certain areas. I guarantee self healing will still be possible, but I'm honestly glad they ended pts by giving healing back to the people that main the role.

    One you sacrifice for a weapon, one you can use with any weapon... one's purpose is healing, one's purpose is damage.

    Makes sense to me

    One comes from your magic and the other one is healing sweat. You flex so hard your sweat leaves your body in a splash of healing aura which is amplified by the power of your weapon.

    IDK... Its just a game.
