Healing

This article is about the game mechanic. For other uses, see Healing (disambiguation).

Healing is a gameplay mechanic for replenishing the health of a character or NPC. Every player is equipped with a dedicated healing skill slot. (Default 6) Skills, Traits, Upgrade components and Consumables may alter the effectiveness of incoming or outgoing healing. The Healing Power attribute directly increases effectiveness of all healing done by a player.

Healing scales linearly with healing power depending on the source. For example, each point of Healing Power adds 0.125 healing towards Regeneration.

Total healing done = [(mechanic-specific base healing) + (Healing Power) * (mechanic-specific coefficient)] * (sum of healing multipliers)

The healed amount appears as a green number aligned with the healed character on the screen. No numbers are shown for characters already at full health.

Healing skill[edit]

The dedicated healing skill occupies the sixth slot on the skill bar. All professions have four unique healing skills to choose from, while some races provide a fifth choice as a racial skill. All elite specializations provide an additional healing skill. These profession skills generally only heal the caster, with a few exceptions such as Healing Spring, "Receive the Light!", or Signet of Vampirism.

In addition to the dedicated healing skill slot, all professions have some means to provide minor, supportive healing. For example, a warrior may use shouts to heal allies while Vigorous Shouts is traited. Engineers may grant regeneration to allies near them with their tool belt skills.

In order for players to be able to effectively sustain other characters in prolonged or intense combat situations such as World versus World or raids, the "healer" is often required to invest in healing centered gear, consumables, trait lines, and other Healing Power effects. As an example, all elementalists can provide healing through their Water Attunement skills, but with a higher Healing Power attribute, or with the selection of the Water specialization, those skills become far more effective.

Various traits and upgrade components which proc their effects "when healing" refer to use of the dedicated healing skill instead of any other source of active or passive healing.

Sub-mechanics[edit]

The regeneration boon replenishes health over time and is affected by increases of outgoing healing such as Sigil of Benevolence.
Life steal is a more offensive manner of healing which occurs when successfully hitting a foe.
Healing modifiers stack additively, which includes Poisoned and Agony. ^[1] However, when affected by both Poison and Agony, their effects are not added individually but instead treated as a single negative 80% modifier.
