This is a strategy game, not an RPG, DJ... (I know, "strategy-RPG", but I don't like that label, and think that they are all actually just strategy games.) Only healers have healing magic. Not anyone else.
I agree that I prefer magic to items, though... that's one of the best things about Guild Wars: no items (well, there are a few consumable items, but they are special ones, not normal ones, are not easily replaced, and are mostly just for fun... holiday reward items and stuff.). :) In strategy games though, using units or buildings to heal and not items is the norm... if the game has healing at all (see: Orcs in Warcraft II)...
