Is Healing Word Good?
Overall Rating: Sky Blue. This means that healing word is an amazing spell. If you do not take this spell your character would not be optimized.
Overall Notes: Great option even if you have a dedicated healer as it can be useful for resetting death saving throws from a distance and only requires a bonus action.
