The BEST Vengeance Healer Build! Pure Warden

Highest magicka pool, boosted magicka recovery, and 16% more healing done
What is Vengeance?
Vengeance is a PvP campaign where there's no gear, no Champion Points, and no morphs. Everyone has normalized stats and you pick a loadout — Soldier, Vanguard, Battle Medic, or Scout — which determines your stat spread and role. The AoE damage cap just jumped to six targets, but healing is still capped at three. That asymmetry makes healers more important than ever, and it makes your class choice the single biggest factor in your effectiveness.
Loadout: Battle Medic
Battle Medic gives you the highest magicka pool, boosted magicka recovery, and sixteen percent more healing done. This is the only real choice for a dedicated healer in Vengeance — the other loadouts are built for damage or tanking.
Perks
Combat Adept reduces all your skill costs by five percent — essential for sustain when you're casting constantly. Spirit Mastery cuts your resurrect time by twenty-five percent, and in Vengeance with that six-target damage cap, you will be rezzing a lot. Bolster Armor adds an extra fourteen hundred armor so you can take a hit and stay on your feet.
Front Bar — Active Healing
Your front bar is your active healing bar. Fungal Growth seeds a large area of mushrooms in front of you, healing up to three allies. Blessing of Protection slams your staff down for another burst heal on up to three allies. Regeneration is a heal-over-time on a single target for six seconds — keep this rolling on whoever's taking pressure. Living Vines grows vines on you or an ally, healing them over five seconds. Falcon's Swiftness gives you Major Expedition for six seconds — thirty percent movement speed so you can reposition when the damage is coming from everywhere. Ultimate: Vengeance Panacea releases healing energy that swirls around you, healing up to three allies in a burst.
Back Bar — Buffs and Sustain
The most important skill on this bar is Lotus Flower — this gives you Major Mending, Major Prophecy, and Major Savagery for twenty seconds. That's sixteen percent more healing done plus a big boost to your critical rating. Keep this up at all times. Vigor is your self-heal — a heal-over-time on yourself for six seconds. Evasion gives you Major Evasion, reducing damage from area attacks by twenty percent for twenty seconds — critical when the other team is hitting six targets per ability. Betty Netch calls a netch to your side, giving you Minor Berserk for five percent more damage and removing a negative effect. Healing Seed summons a field of flowers that blooms after six seconds, healing up to three allies in the area — it's a delayed heal, so place it ahead of the fight, not during it. Ultimate: Vengeance Secluded Grove is your emergency button — it drops a healing forest that heals up to three allies for over sixty thousand health over six seconds, and it only costs ninety ultimate.
Why Warden?
Warden is the best class for Vengeance healing because when there's no gear and no morphs, your class skills are all you've got to stand out. Warden brings the deepest healing toolkit in the game — burst heals, heal-over-time, smart heals, a delayed area heal, and Major Mending through Lotus Flower. No other class covers that many bases in a system where everyone starts on the same playing field.
