Question about maxed-out skill strengths as I level up

I play a v9 Templar DPS/off-healer with all my healing skils maxed out and I'm wondering how they get 'stronger' between now and v16.

I know I can improve the healing I cast by placement of champion points and it can be buffed by way of armour, potions, enchantments etc, but does purely levelling up increase the strength of your abilities if you were to make no other changes?

I often see gold pledge group requests for v16 healers only. What is it about v16 healers?

Remember red = dead and a dead dd deals no dps.

    Being VR16 gives you more attribute points which means more magicka/health/stamina, it also gives you more champion points and access to far stronger gear than you would otherwise have.

    Generally, people at VR16 have better gear in terms of upgrades too as it isn't really worth making gear epic or legendary at VR15 or lower.

    Given equal-level gear (VR9 for the VR9 and VR16 for the VR16) and having spent all AP/CP with the same skills and equal player skill the VR16 will be a stronger healer.

    The reason people ask for VR16 team mates (of any role) in a undaunted group is that Sub-VR16s are often on their first characters, and unfamiliar with dungeon mechanics and inexperienced with playing their class and role. Veterans tend to grind up their 2nd, 3rd etc characters and avoid doing pledges on non-level cap characters so that they don't end up with non-endgame monster masks. Asking for VR16s is thus a lazy filter for very bad players that can cause wipes and frustration.

    When I occasionally do normal group dungeons or sub-VR16 goldkey runs, I am often shocked by how bad my team mates are, lacking even basic knowledge and experience. I even have to bring food because they often do not use food and potions.

    I prefer to do pledges at V16 scale in case a helm drops. A V15 or V14 player might be able to perform well enough at V16, but much lower and it starts to really show.
