Weapon and Skill Details

Healing Signet or Healing Surge.(healing signet outshines healing surge in very long term fights, and we all know that, shout war shines in long term fights because of his low cd)

 

FGJ SIO- standart choice for shouts, very good utilities overall.
Balanced Stance- in this traits setup there is nothing better with stability that u can take.
Battle Standard- u won't feel the damage drop because of using this, because u have DOTE in traits.


II. Traits

Adept Master Grandmaster

Trait Details

Swap Last Stand for Cleansing Ire if u have many good guardians in group.
Cleansing Ire is good because u will build adrenaline much quicker which makes ur Adrenal Health better overtime and u can cleanse ur condition more often. However, using cleansing ire is arguable because as healing shout war u have a lot of condi removal and with cleansing ire i feel like you will "over remove" conditions. I'm leaving it for personal choice.

Upgrade Item Details

For infusion slots u can mix whatever u like, it dosent matter tbh.
Try diffrent combos for sigils in hammer(energy,impact,fire,doom,geomancer etc)

 


Why 3 celestial trinkets?
Because heal shout warrior takes advantage from every single stat in the game.\
Sword from condi dmg, im using Flurry and Sword AA quite often.
You have decent damage and GOOD support.

 

Standart trooper setup on soldier's armor. Much tankiness and decent damage.
Since ferocity patch, there is no point to take prec oil and prec stacks, power is in very good spot right now.


V. Basic Gameplay

U have to move 24/7, near commander, use sword 2# to escape, close gap etc. Don't risk your life while ur using baner.

 

As heal shout war ur job is to blast everything that is needed. You have to prioritize water fields then fire fields then rest. Don't hesitate when you have to use ur earthshaker for blast, just do it.


Main Skill Rotation

Hammer Swing½
Bash your foe.
Damage: 333Range: 130
Hammer Bash½
Bash your foe again.
Damage: 333Range: 130
Hammer Smash½
Smash the ground and damage nearby foes.
Damage: 444Range: 130

There is no main skill rotation. Skill usage deppends on the situation. Everything is gonna come with experience.

 

However, do not open fight with shouts, wait for condi removal/heal opportunietes. Especially if u went Cleansing Ire.
Also, it is better to use your eartshaker when enemies have no stability, but if u need to cleanse just do it. Keep in mind that u need to HIT enemy to remove your conditions. (if u have blind on, you won't get condi removal, wait till blind goes off)
