Best Healers

[Sir. Foxford]

I've been using Shadowheart.... For reasons I'm not gonna get into I may or may not have chopped her head off.

So is a druid or cleric better as a healer? I'm gonna hire one.

I prefer Druid of the land as my main healer, combined with 4 levels sorcerer

This way I i get multi haste as a main concentration buff, I get guidance and the rest is mostly heals , plus medium armor means he can take a few hits and if he gets focused can always bear form

A cleric will have access to more healing spells, and if following the life domain, be able to do it more efficiently.

But.

How often are you healing during combat?

Can you manage with the occasional potion\goodberry and short rests?

If so, I'd look at what else they bring other than healing and pick based on that.

Life cleric is the uncontested winner when it comes to being a healbot.
Healing in combat is mostly pointless though, fights are trivial and you should never have characters go down after act 1.

[Damphair]

For straight up healing, Life Domain Cleric is the best. Druid doesn't even compare.

[AncientsLegacy]

Nothing in game can compete with a Life cleric for healing. Larian making their healing buffs and the healing buffs from items work with healing potions is insanely powerful.

The correct answer is a Twilight Cleric, which fits Shadowheart very well. But its not in the game unless you get the cleric mod. Otherwise, the best support is 1 life cleric and Bard X. You get bonus to healing spell, inspiration, song of rest, and all the other bard goodies. It is as far as i know the #1 healer right now.
