Build:Me/Rt Healer Hero

This build combines mesmer shutdown and energy management with restoration magic. It's a good choice when you not only lack healing, but also shutdown. Although the energy management is usually worse than a necromancer healer's that's compensated by the additional shutdown and thus reduced need of healing.
