Wand/focus and spell book good for healers?

With the current weapon choices what’s best for a cleric healer that also can do some DPS? Can’t really find anything on the web that’s not several months old.

so from my tests as of right now the longbow is kinda of a utility weapon with its snare and extra range, dps sucks but I guess you can trip lock your enemies with it from what I hear.

shortbow is fast and will probably trigger finishers faster, good for crits/bleeds I think but the book has much better single target dps than the bow and it comes with splash damage

Haven't had time to compare with wand, been testing weapons on tank sense all it's stats are about even besides their constitution which doesn't factor in when looking at dps.

Right now the defense ratings and power ratings on gear is trumping all else meaning attack speed/crit/etc. are really insignificant from I can see compared to raw power/defence of the gear.

tbh in the games current state I would probably run GS/Book on all classes I play

There is a spellbow which is a shortbow with magic ratings on it and from what my guildy said its very good for procing the mana regen talent in the 2nd set of finishers. You lose magic power for more cast speed but I don't know how good that speed difference is.
