Usage

Keep Guardian on yourself at all times.
Use Reversal of Fortune as your main means of Healing.
Use Mending Touch to remove stacks of Conditions from yourself after Assassin or Warrior Spikes.
Use Return to move around, escape from attackers and in some cases get to heroes on the Shrines faster.
Use Return immediately followed by Mending Touch on your Heroes to remove great deal of Conditions thus giving them a great heal if needed.
Use Shield of Absorption preferably followed by Dark Escape to tackle Pressure.
Zealous Benediction is your Spike Heal and Energy Management skill and is to be used on characters below 50% ONLY so DO NOT spam it!
