lvl 70 heal builds?Follow

Creating a healing build for level 70 is horrible because
A) Disc builds can't pick up both Penance and Inspiration
and B) Holy builds can't pick up Guardian Spirit and Meditation.
while in both of these builds having both said talents is pretty much a must.

For disc healing your best bet would probably be to do this and use Greater Heal over Penance. For holy it's a bit easier since you can turn your build into a completely AOE focused one where you wouldn't have to worry about picking up stuff like Empowered Healing and Guardian spirit. The best 70 build would probably be a disc/holy combination spec like so.

I healed in a build very similar to the hybrid Moz linked at 70 and when I hit 75 I changed to the equivalent of this:

for Disc and finished up with this:

I tried loads of Holy specs but can't get my head round them. The hybrid works nicely for 70 as you get a nice chunk of boosts to your existing spells rather than going all out for the new stuff. I have also healed in a build similar to your Disc one. I think a lot of it is personal choice. Aspiration is nice but Penance is nicer for me because of its speed compared to a greater heal.

Thanks for the post. I agree you can find lots of information about 80 level builds but almost nothing about how to get there or if you are stuck at 70.

Since I am into DISC right now, and I think it is the perfect build for 60-70 level PUG instances here is my suggestion:

Disc 70

1) I'd dump the silent resolve (replaced with Improved Inner Fire). Yes PUG tanks can be awful, but fade is great. If you are needing to fade that much get the fade glyph.

2) I only put two points in enlightenment, just to get to the next level. If you really like Silent Resolve replace enlightenment with those two points.

3) I'd use the point I saved to Holy Specialization to get the extra percent to crit.

I dunno if I agree with this. We were healing that content just fine without all these new-fangled talents when CoH was the bottom of the tree. I don't see why you still couldn't?

When you look at top end talents from 70 and 80 I would say COH is more of a must than Guardian Spirit for Holy and Penance is more of a must than Pain Suppression imo. Yes both of the other talents are nice, but not as nice. Playing Disc I couldn't be without my Penance as it is such an *** saver in any circumstance due to it's speed and mana efficiency in the same way COH is an AOE *** saver due to its instant cast, especially since they buffed it again. Guardian Spirit is nice but it only saves one person's ***, COH saves a whole group, likewise Pain Supression lets you survive longer but at a cost of reduced threat which is bad for a tank whereas Penance just gives you more health with no penalty, faster and more mana efficiently than GH and also has a good chance to proc DA if you have it and put your stacks of Grace up.
