What other sources say
None of the community readings we track lists Healing Touch for Chanter, so the armory numbers above are the only data we have on it.
Not confirmed yet
- The armory does not record whether a player mostly runs PvE or PvP, so this page cannot say which mode Healing Touch is for.
- Why players pick Healing Touch. The data shows who equips it, not their reasons.
- Whether Healing Touch changes your combat power. Any gap above may come from gear, levels or the kind of player who picks it.
