Normal Mode
On a normal mode character, I would go full wis, no exceptions, 5 wis per lvl! If you decide to create a different kind of healer then be prepared for
Normal mode healers are really no use in serious pvp, they die too fast. If they add a lot of rec, they may live longer but they won't be able to heal for a useful amount of HP, making it harder for them to be useful in pve parties.
note: do not add int!it is a waist of stat points and can easily be added to gear, if needed!
If you go full wis on normal mode, then your healer will actually be useful later on, for boss killing and other pve situations.
Hard Mode
PvE healer:
I wouldn't personally bother making a hard mode healer for pure pve but here a a few builds that should work good in parties and solo:
5 wis + 2 rec, is a good build for whatever kind of healer you're planning on making. In pve, you'll like this build because you won't be dying to mobs and you'll still heal plenty to keep your party alive. This is a good pvp build and a good pve build.
4 wis + 1 rec + 2 int, this is a nice build for a pve healer who sometimes likes to solo mobs. The wis is enough for you to keep most parties alive and the int will make killing mobs much faster. It's a hybrid and I don't really like this type of build but it's nice for the solo pve healer. You have no real strong points but you can do a little of everything.
6 wis + 1 rec, this is probably the best support pve healer. You have a little extra defense and health, so mobs don't kill you and you're going to heal more than enough to keep any party happy with your heals. Not gonna be fun soloing on this kind of healer though
PvP Healer:
Now for my favorite type of healer, a pvp healer. I find this build to be most effective. If you've experimented with different pvp builds for hard mode healers, please share your experience.
4 wis + 3 rec, you may argue as much as you want but I find this to be the best healer for pvp. You are basically designed to keep your party alive, while staying alive yourself. This is a party healer, not very effective solo.
In pvp, it's not so much about how much you heal for but about keeping your party alive long enough for them to kill the enemy, while staying alive yourself
Note: always keep your party Buffed
Ultimate Mode
If you've gotten to ultimate mode, I don't think you need much help from me, you can use the rest of my guide as a guideline for your ultimate mode healer. Simply add 2 more stat points into consideration; I would personally add them to rec.
The new ultimate skills that I know about are a self instant heal and a godly buff. You get the instant heal at a low lvl and the buff at lvl 60. When I know more about ultimate healers, I will tell you more.
Maybe an ultimate healer would like to share some knowledge?
