• 1st set: 40/40 Healing Set.
• 2nd set: Low energy Set
• 3rd set: Martial Weapon & Shield (shields modded for an assortment of different spikes).
• 4th set: High Energy Set (+30 energy)

[edit] Usage

• Maintain Healer's Boon at ALL times.
• Patient Spirit and Dwayna's Kiss are your primary healing skills.
• Use Infuse Health to catch spikes or heal very low targets.
• Use Heal Party for a powerful party-wide heal. This must be used sparingly though, for its high energy cost will quickly drain your energy pool.
• Use draw conditions on the RC Monk.
• Use Holy Veil to remove hexes from party members and to prevent counters such as diversion.
• Use Channeling to gain energy, do this by "channel tanking" (Standing in the middle of enemies).

[edit] Counters

• Enchant removal can be a minor problem, but this is not a significant issue as channeling can be used as a cover and Healer's Boon only has a 10 second recharge timer.
• Standard caster counters, Diversion, Migraine etc.

[edit] Variants

• Spotless Mind can replace Holy Veil.
• Healing Seed or a secondary source of hex removal in place of Draw Conditions
