is a DK healer a good idea with new dlc?

hamburgerler76 · February 2016

so I have always wanted to be a Dk healer but lets be real you will never be looked at for the more harder vet end game content. I was wondering with the new skill changes is it finally possible to be on the same level as a temp? If so anyone have any suggestions on build's, skill bar set up's anything to help

thanks!

If anything, dk healing got nerfed xD But got some awesome group buffs!

Dk healers are ok. This recent PTS update hasn't changed all that much.

My bar is usually:
Mutagen, Ward Ally, Blessing of Restoration, Igneous Shield, Cauterize, and Magma Shell.

Second bar is destro staff:
Elemental Drain, Obisidian Shard, Energy Orb, Draw Essence, Proximity Det, and either Sturdy Horn or Repleneshing Barrier.

DK healers are good now, keep Igneous Shield up every 7 sec for the Major Mending buff. Only new thing is the heal from Sea of Flames and Magma Shell becoming alot better as it put shields on your group instead of one guy via synergy use. But you need to be in the thick of it for those two to work (8-15m)

Yeah, you need to be standing close. I've had some encouraging results combining Cauterize with the Redistributor set.

bin looking to turn my dk into a mag healer for a long time now for the extra challenge. I have a temp healer and have bin running dungs with him for a lil over a year looking for something new but still in healer domain.

I'm testing a healer/support build on the pts.
Resto: mutagen, cauterize, quick siphon, healing ward, healing springs, magma shell
Destro: elemental drain, igneous weapons, igneous shield, engulfing flames/talons, force pulse/impulse, standard of might.
