Equipment

• A positive energy set, and a negative energy set for weapon swapping.
• A weapon of Enchanting can lengthen the duration of your enchantments.

Usage

• Use Gift of Health for a general purpose heal.
• Spirit Bond is to be used for extra protection, damage reduction and potential healing. It is particularly strong against spikes.
• Cast Reversal of Fortune for an immediate heal and damage prevention.
• Remove harmful conditions and heal allies with conditions on them with Restore Condition.
• Hexes can be removed with Holy Veil. Be wary of maintaining this enchantment as it harms your energy pool.
• Use Aegis for party-wide defence. Use Glyph of Lesser Energy to reduce Aegis' high cost.

Counters

• Heavy Energy denial can be devastating if you're caught unprepared.
• Signet of Humility
• As with many other healing builds, Diversion can be very harmful if it hits a critical spell.
• Interrupts on Aegis - particularly Power Leak and Power Block

Variants

• Holy Veil can be replaced with Deny Hexes. If taking Deny Hexes, swap Mending Touch for a Divine Favor skill such as Signet of Devotion, Divine Spirit or Divine Intervention, to allow removal of two hexes at once. If Mending Touch is dropped, a teammate MUST carry Draw Conditions.
• Some may wish to replace Spirit Bond with Protective Spirit or Shield of Absorption. It is vital that your team carries at least one copy of Protective Spirit.
• An excellent skill for both condition and hex removal with no energy costs, would be Purge Signet. Since the majority of your skills cost only 5 energy, weapon swapping with Purge Signet can be extremely useful, and with low energy recovery times thanks to your cheap spell costs.
