Best buffer/healer for a Swash?

[shockofimpact]

<p>I was going to roll a Brig but I have so many evil toons and with the gloom and doom on the Brig forum decided to roll a swash instead. </p><p>I also have access to my wife's account (doesnt play anymore).  So, I was wondering which healer/buffer would work best with a Swashbucker....and be easy to manipulate?  Thanks!</p>

<p>I like inquisitors for healing/buffing because they buff stats like DPS/Haste instead of str.  A mystic might be nice if you wanted to both be on the same side.  Mystic warding might make healing a little easier than inquisitor reactives, but both classes with AA specs can be pretty easy to add their dps because most of it comes from auto attack.</p><p>If buffing is more important than healing you could also look at a dirge or an illusionist</p>

<p>I'd say don't forget about a Warden. While leveling any healer type can heal any damage just fine. Spec the Warden strength line and the Warden heals while meleeing. Instinct IMO is a better buff <span style="text-decoration: underline;">while leveling</span> because it buffs weapon skills, giving a better chance to actually hit. All your DPS buffs are wasted on a swing that does not land. Adding a damage proc on top of it makes it even more attractive. Wardens also have a buff with agility/power regen on it you can put on the Swash</p>
