Have any healers effectively incorporated psijic skills in their lineup?

Caroloces · January 2019

I've recently finished the psijic skill line quest, and am now trying to level up those skills with my templar healer. I've been intrigued with some of the healing aspects of some of those skills, and I'm wondering if any of you experienced healers out there have started using any of those skills as a replacement for and/or addition to your regular healing lineup? The one skill, mend wounds and its morphs, seems like it might fit in the lineup, but I do miss doing light attacks when I have this activated. Do any of these skills mesh well with traditional healing skills like BoL or Healing Springs?

My templar healer has about 13 skills she'd like to slot in her 10 available slots - before any consideration of Psijic skill line. Short answer to your question for me is no. Mend wounds specifically is clunky to use and, as you say does not play well with normal damaging light attacks. Tried and rejected it.

I'll sometimes use the mend wounds skill in like... vAS when people are scattered a lot. Time stop in some of the DLC dungeons (it's really nice in MHK HM when adds come down). In a regular, everyday setup tho, not usually. They have their niche roles for my playstyle, but that's it.

I use Channeled Acceleration in BGs (it replaces Rapids in my lineup). It's pretty helpful when you're a slow, heavy armor healplar trying to keep up with and heal your speedy medium armor wearing team.

Mend Wounds is nice and all, but it's too cumbersome to use effectively when you're in larger groups. And next update, with the enchant changes on 1H weapons, Healers will prob have to pitch in with debuffing bosses so we can't afford to lose our Light/Heavy Attacks

In PvP tho, there are 2 skills that I do like to use: Time Stop (Borrowed Time) in Cyro and Meditate (Deep Thoughts) in No CP mode

This is a good thread, I've not seen many threads about this healing or otherwise. I was wondering the same thing about DPS applications.

Mag DPS (in PvE) uses Channeled Acceleration and Elemental weapon, one on each bar (that little bubble shield and the brief moments of Major Protection while casting/channeling are pretty nice). Not sure about stam though.

I was excited to get Mend Wounds, especially for PvP. As others have said, too clunky ...and the heavy attacks don't restore Magicka
