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.
- Guardian is often used to mitigate damage, either in place of Mending Touch or Glyph of Lesser Energy.
