I see normal mode as a stepping stone to hard mode and if you plan on making a hard mode healer, or an ultimate mode healer, then I strongly advise you not to make a normal mode healer; as it will become useless, once you move on to the next playing mode.
*I finally started Hard Mode and I decided to make a healer, can you help me?
Welcome to hard mode, you can now enjoy pvp and start making different unique character builds!
Now you should decide what kind of healer you would like to make.
I do not personally support Battle/offensive Healers, they can be an interesting class to play but I find them to be weak, so I'm going to skip that.
PvE healer:
I wouldn't personally bother making a hard mode healer for pure pve but here a a few builds that should work good in parties and solo:
5 wis + 2 rec, is a good build for whatever kind of healer you're planning on making. In pve, you'll like this build because you won't be dying to mobs and you'll still heal plenty to keep your party alive. This is a good pvp build and a good pve build.
4 wis + 1 rec + 2 int, this is a nice build for a pve healer who sometimes likes to solo mobs. The wis is enough for you to keep most parties alive and the int will make killing mobs much faster. It's a hybrid and I don't really like this type of build but it's nice for the solo pve healer. You have no real strong points but you can do a little of everything.
6 wis + 1 rec, this is probably the best support pve healer. You have a little extra defense and health, so mobs don't kill you and you're going to heal more than enough to keep any party happy with your heals. Not gonna be fun soloing on this kind of healer though.
PvP Healer:
Now for my favorite type of healer, a pvp healer. I find this build to be most effective. If you've experimented with different pvp builds for hard mode healers, please share your experience.
4 wis + 3 rec, you may argue as much as you want but I find this to be the best healer for pvp. You are basically designed to keep your party alive, while staying alive yourself. This is a party healer, not very effective solo.
In pvp, it's not so much about how much you heal for but about keeping your party alive long enough for them to kill the enemy, while staying alive yourself.
A dead healer is a useless healer!
