Absolutely it will. Without major mending, the nerf to shards, giving the function of shards to orbs, and gutting repentance the only benefit of a Templar is the Extended Ritual Cleanse (that no longer has major mending). A warden can run purge, will provide better group utility, and the function of their heals is ideals for end game.

Templar will still be included, at least in one trials spot. But a warden healer will still be the best now that the unique class defining abilities of Templar are no longer unique and accessible to all.

Even before the nerfs to templars wardens would have made great healers. They have awesome skills in the green balance tree as well as access to good buffs and passives.

And now they the three arguments for templar healer being better are gone its very clear wardens will rule at healing.

It just sad that everyone has been so stuck on this idea that templars are the only good healers. They reject or deny every other healer. But now templars are not king.

And another random thing I keep seeing on the forums
"Templars have a dedicated healing skill tree so they should be the best at healing."
Ya well so do wardens!! And nature healing looks cooler imo anyway.

I think so, but since I have no hands-on access to it — I voted maybe. I can't really say whether or not it'll outperform something or not, when I haven't actually experienced it personally.

Yeh same but got high hopes for warden. In every mmo the new released class needs to be op for a few months.

What burst heal? No more burst heal after pts nerf. Warden just got the best heal and buffs atm.
