What Is a Healer?
Healers are one of the basic roles available in DCUO. Their main task is ensuring that the rest of their group stays alive. Healers have the ability to heal and buff their team mates with high levels of restoration and power. All healing powers specialize in different healing methods and it is therefore preferred that Raids and Operations have two different healing powers. The symbol that represents a healer is a Heart.
The 4 Healer Roles
In order to acquire the Healing Role, you must select either Nature, Sorcery, Electricity or Celestial as your power set. Once you reach level 10, you will automatically acquire the Healing Role. In the Healing role (and your natural form) all damage you cause is penalized by 25%. All Health restoration and damage prevention effects you trigger are increased by 65%.
All bonuses from Weapon Skill Trees stack, regardless of what weapon type is currently equipped. Starting at level 10, a player is allowed to spend skill points in multiple weapon skill trees.
The 5 Important Healer Stats
The 5 Important Healer Stats are:
1.Restoration-Restoration increases healing. 4 Restoration = 1% base healing increase. A weapon skill with 45 points provides an 11.25% increase to base healing. For example, if you have a base heal of 200 points and 400 Restoration, you would see a heal of 400 (200+100%).
2.Critical healing Chance-The chance to perform a critical heal. A critical heal directly increases your healing ability by providing an additional 50% output. In other words, a heal that would normally restore 100 health would restore 150 health as a critical. Obviously, the more healing you have from Restoration, the more direct benefit you get from critical healing chance. This has no value past 100% though it is currently impossible to reach this number – 14% appears to be the maximum attainable, plus any found on equipment or ability benefits.
3.Critical Healing Magnitude-Increases the amount of health restored with a critical heal. The bonus is additive to the critical bonus (50%), so that 40% critical healing magnitude equals a 90% bonus on a critical heal. The current maximum appears to be 56%, minus any found on equipment or ability benefits.
4.Power-Power is required to use powers in your loadout, and is drained as they are performed. Without investing here, you will only be able to cast 4-6 abilities before needing to refill.
5.Health-Health measures ability to withstand knockout. As with all classes, this is very important. Increase your health up to 2,500 or more. If you die, don’t worry; just come back and try again. Keep an eye on your armor; if it breaks, make sure to repair it, or repair it regularly before it does break.
Critical Healing Chance vs Critical Healing Magnitude
There is a debate as to which is better and that depends on what statistics you have. The game seems to provide a basic ratio between critical healing chance and critical healing magnitude of 1:4, as clearly seen in the weapon skills and theoretical maximums. When we try to compare both, we’ll keep this ratio in mind.
Let’s say your heal restores 100 health, and you have a basic 10% chance to critically heal. On average, one in every ten heals should critical. In ten heals, this amounts to 1050 health restored, for an average of 105 health per heal. A bonus of 10% critical healing chance brings the total chance to 20%, meaning one in five heals should critical. In ten heals, this amounts to 1100 health restored, for an average of 110 health per heal. Whereas, a bonus of 40% critical healing magnitude (the 1:4 ratio mentioned above), with the basic 10% chance to critically heal, should amount to 1090 health restored over ten heals; an average of 109 health per heal.
The extra critical healing chance is a near linear gain on your heals. Each critical healing chance % increases your damage by 0.5%. Critical healing magnitude is non-linear, since it depends on your spells critically healing. It works out to be your critical healing chance % multiplied by your critical healing magnitude. In the previous case, 10% of 40 is 4.
At maximums of 14% critical healing chance and 56% critical healing magnitude and a base of 100 points healed, your average heal comes to about 223.

Powers/Power Reaction (Healer) (2)
Celestial
Celestial is a combo power like light but is more complex. This power uses some of the same elements from the other 3 healing powers. Having the ability to buff the group, burst heal, Area of effect (AoE) and heal over time (h0t). Although this power is a heal over time it will not conflict with a nature healer in a group. Celestial uses stat buffs and shielding spells like nature and sorcery also. Being a combo power celestial can be the hardest healing power to master. An advantage of this power is that it is the least power hungry of the 4 healing powers.
