Does attack speed affect Healers?

posted on Sunday, September 23 2012, 07:44 AM in General Chat

So I'm stuck on what to incant my Peacekeeper boots, +Movement speed or +Attack speed, a guild member says I should do +Attack speed and keep my +Movement speed for BF but when I look around the server at other good healers I see they have +Movement speed :dry:
So I'm wondering does attack speed make healers cast their skills faster? I don't mean their cast speed, I don't exactly know what I mean :blink: I'm confused

Attack speed affect healers, in the sense of how they throw the heals much faster. just like a warlock/ magician throwing skills on a mob/boss. the faster the atspd, the faster you can throw heals.

So +Attack speed is more beneficial than +Move in say a dungeon?

Attack speed does not affect healers. Throwing your healing skills is more of casting speed. Just look at the name of the speed. Most healers don't attack. Movement speed is good for when you need to get away fast in dungeon (when ppl aggro all mobs) or when you need to run in pvp map.

Attack speed does effect healers with heals, buffs, and attacks. You'll notice if you try your heals without your attack speed buff, and then add your attack speed buff. There is a difference.

well i myself has a sage, and i used mspd, why? cause i can just use bean dish+ atspd pots+ buff+ dog trans to make up for my atspd. that's how i do it. Good heals in DM FM as well in dungeons.

It makes the animation faster = you will heal a little faster. But its your choice between "heal a little faster" and "run away hella faster"
