The Rune of the Archmage is a powerful symbol of authority and mastery in the arcane arts. It is a rune that represents the immense knowledge and skill possessed by the Archmages, who are considered to be the highest level of spellcasters in many fantasy worlds. The Rune of the Archmage is often depicted as a complex and intricate design, with interwoven lines and symbols that signify the various aspects of magic. It is believed that the rune contains the essence of all magical disciplines, from elemental manipulation to divination and illusion. Archmages are often seen as the guardians of knowledge and the keepers of ancient secrets, and the Rune of the Archmage is a reminder of their role and responsibility. It is said that those who have mastered the arcane arts and achieved the status of Archmage are able to channel the power of the rune and unleash devastating spells and enchantments.
Most groups like to bring double Warrior Priest, especially in this tier as the cloth casters don't get their great tools until T4.
As a Runepriest, your playstyle is major group support; keep your Master Rune down, and proc Blessing of Grungi, Ancestor s Echo and Regenerative Shielding if you run it on everyone.

Which is the better healer in the higher tiers, I know it's usually down to how you play but if you were to say one was better at healing than the other which would it be?

rp no doubt, much more well around healer. AMs like shamans are fun to play but they fall apart on healing related synergy. rp/zealot got much better buffing capabilities while shaman/am got some good debuffing but since debuffs dont stack that role is quite insignificant.
btw rp is better than am at t1 and t2 also. grundi's gift > all healeing from AM although the puddle and ap drain are good they are not healing realted
Mostly harmless

Archmage has Mistress of the Marsh, Desperation, Funnel Essence, Magical Infusion, Wild Healing and a 100% uptime AP Drain. Archmage is the most resource efficient healer besides Warrior Priest in 6pc Tyrant or Doomflayer+.
Your playstyle is spamming out heals when you aren't being pressured, using your burst tools (Magical Infusion and Funnel Essence) to keep people alive in desperate situations.
When you are under pressure, you absolutely need to kite. You can't sit and tank things like a Warrior Priest can. This is your greatest disadvantage as a small amount of pressure means that you lose a lot of your healing potential. Try to HoT and run with Lambent Aura, use MoTM to slow things chasing you and use your other quick casts to heal as you get space to.
Runepriest is similar to the Archmage but is far more utlitarian as a healer, better at supporting the Warrior Priest. You still have to kite, but you have an instant cast flash heal and a slightly better option to stand and tank with your 50% shield wall. As a Runepriest, your playstyle is major group support; keep your Master Rune down, and proc Blessing of Grungi, Ancestor's Echo and Regenerative Shielding (if you run it) on everyone. You have a few tools to help deal with burst situations like Oath Rune of Sanctuary and Protection of the Ancestors. You also have a spammable cleanse if you run the tactic.
Warrior Priest is the most favored healer as you have tankiness, a strong single target with a .5s cast, a group heal with a 1s cast, a group hot about as strong as the single target hot, a group bubble, a group cleanse, 1k1 dark blessings, prayers, aoe detaunt.. the list goes on. Your playstyle as a Warrior Priest is just spam heals and aoe detaunt as needed. You can tank quite a bit of damage if done properly.
Most groups like to bring double Warrior Priest, especially in this tier as the cloth casters don't get their great tools until T4.
A little long and drawn out but I hope it answers your questions.
