You need HoT heal and burst heal, so spores+vigor or rally+vigor
Also assuming you mean self healing, if you are more interested in group healing then spores is obv better than rally
overall, there is also no need to get forward momentum if you can use shuffle
I have 2 stamina Wardens. We have a lot of heals on our disposal.
- Secluded Grove and its morphs. Nice cheap heal ulti, very usefull in all situations.
- Soothing Spores - nice burst heal, stamina based, not bad for group use as well if you stay behind allies.
- Living trellis - I adore this one. HoT that can be used again for burst if needed. Not too expensive as well, since it is magicka based
- Vigor - What can I say, I like it and it works nice on Warden as well as on any other class.
- Rally - Major brutality and a potential burst heal, if you use 2h. I tend to pair it with vigor, for most efficiency.
Depending on what I play ( solo/small group/zerg) I use 2 or more heals. When I go with a group with dedicated healers, I keep it as one burst and one AOE heal. When I play in a group with no healers, I go full stamina heal, and it is very nice arden is capable of that. I would love to see no nerfs to Warden heal ulti, but I guess too many mediocre one button sorcs cried for this nerf.
Vigor is 360 AOE HoT and it works really great paired with Vigor. On the other hand, Soothing Spores heals you at once. They can work better as ohshiet button, but Vigor's HoT gives you window to do other stuff, such as fleeing to a LoS position, fighting etc. Call me old fashioned, but I like rally + vigor on my sWar at all times. And secluded grove is my backbar ulti all the time.
