Tank jewelry used by Healer

[Sanghelios]

Hey guys. Just wanted to ask you something. Should i use tank jewelry in pvp while i play as whitemage? I do have an ilvl of 108 in pve and already used the 30 level-up points on vita. I just tested it with 3 tank accessories in fl and my outcoming healing was still enough in my opinion. So it is worth it?

[Riepah]

Sure, go ahead.

[Artiste]

No.

Ok, I'll explain why :

As healer, usuaully, you dont take a lot of DMG, the only thing you need, is to survive big undodgeable AOEs, with the basic HP with have and the vitality on your gear, it is enough.

The healers jeweleries doesn't give only Mind (and maybe 18 for a ilvl 110 isn't that much, but 90 for 5, it is a lot), it give also some other stats, like for me, mainly Piety, some more piety can save some fights that goes wrong (but if it doesn't go wrong, in most of fight, you dont need those small more piety, but we never know what can appen, you may have to heal more/raise someone)

If you want to make a Spell speed build, the SS you get on the items are needed.

More vitality gonna change what ?
Imagine, I have now 5h HP, I take an AOE that deal 2k5HP
I have 2k5 HP left, and my party members also something like that, I just do Cure3 or Medica 2, and we're all full life again.

If Instead I have 6k HP ?
I'll take still 2k5 dmg, I'll have 3k5 HP left, and everyone will be full life again, me also, nothing as change.

If it's dodgeable attack that you take, just dodge.
And if you want to survive more if you take aggro : That not gonna save you, you're cloth, trash monsters can kill you in 5sec.

Uh, cool story bro, but this is the PvP forums.

Yes Luna, you can. It can help your survivability, which is paramount.

yeah use vit gear. the reduction in healing isn't a significant loss. with vit gear it will put you at about 5004 unbuffed and if you're at full hp+stoneskin you can survive an LB1 which comes in handy for goons who try to merk-lock you in a stun+LB1 combo. without the extra vit, that combo is a sure death because the stun won't wear off in time to get off an Attunement and a Purify+Attunement will take entirely too long to cast due to the double animations and game delay, but with the hp+stoneskin you'll survive it. also having more hp will allow you more time to focus on healing your party without having to worry about healing yourself too often too much.

I also use tank accessories at the suggestions of some kind people here. The HP buffer it's given hasn't been needed YET, but as you say, the difference in my healing throughput is negligible so you might as well.

Pvp, NVM, clicked on " new message ", and saw the tittle... That's why, becoz I already saw a healer in vitality build for pve

[NorthernLadMSP]

Yes, it will help you survive longer, because after all, you are everyone's number one target.

[Sanghelios]

Thanks for your answers.

It's pretty much the only acceptable way to go at this point. If you don't wear tank accessories, you are at a disadvantage.
