Self heal

From Guild Wars Wiki

Generally, "self heal" is used to refer to a skill which is included in a build primarily or exclusively for the purpose of restoring the user's health, as opposed to a more general heal which are intended to heal the party. The term can also be used more literally to refer to any healing skill which can only restore the user's health (such as Healing Signet). Many builds include a self-heal.

[edit] Other methods

There are a few other ways to keep your own health up without using direct healing skills:

• Life stealing skills can be used for the same practical purposes as self-healing, though they work by a different method and have the downside of requring a living foe in range.
• Skills that increase maximum health can temporarily function as heals, but when they end the health is removed.
