Healer


 * Healer heroes focus primarily on healing damage and assisting their team.

Healer is a class of hero in Heroes of the Storm. They are heroes that possess the ability to restore HP to allies and themselves by healing. There are currently Healer heroes.



Healer Role
The Healer role acts as a potent backbone to the team's efforts in the Nexus. In addition to mitigating damage and offering heals, Support heroes also have powerful buffs and control spells at their disposal.

For most Healer to be effective, they'll need to stay close to their teammates during fights – ideally, behind a Tank who is tanking the damage. If you are a healer, it’s your job to keep the team as close to their full hit points as possible. Since Tanks' high health pools will give you some breathing room, you'll often need to focus heals on your damage dealers, especially those who have jumped into the fray. Alternatively, if you are a Healer hero that focuses more on utility, find ways to use your disrupts or stuns so that your teammates can immediately capitalize on them.

For example: If you're Malfurion, and an allied Stitches uses Hook to pull an enemy in close, you can use Entangling Roots to keep that enemy locked down while your teammates obliterate them.

Tips

 * As a Healer, try to avoid splitting off alone whenever possible. It's important to stay with your team, as your focus is on enabling allies and keeping them sustained while the team is pushing minions and/or brawling with enemies.
 * Healing is a big part of playing support, but don't underestimate the importance of control. A well-placed stun, root, or silence can make all the difference if used at the right time. Try to combine your control abilities with those of your allies to keep a target locked down.
