====Heal Skills====
 
* {{Skill|"We Heal As One!"}} - simply the best heal to use with the build due to its low cooldown triggering {{Trait|Resounding Timbre}}.
 
* {{Skill|Healing Spring}} - decent option to help cleanse conditions from allies.
 
 
 
 
 
====Utilities====
 
Replace {{Skill|Glyph of Alignment}} with:

* {{Skill|Stone Spirit}} - defensive option for allies when fighting in one location.

; Good on-demand crowd control
 
* {{Tooltip|Rock Gazelle}}, {{Tooltip|Pink Moa}}, {{Tooltip|Electric Wyvern}}, {{Tooltip|Wolf}}.
 
; Tanky pets
 
* Drakes such as {{Tooltip|Marsh Drake}} provide the best mix of damage and tankiness, but bears and devourers are also very tanky pets.

* Position yourself so {{Skill|Solar Beam}} heals allies in between you and the enemy.

* Use your Blast finishers {{Skill|Call of the Wild}}, {{Skill|Ancestral Grace}}, {{Skill|Lunar Impact}} on water fields such as {{Skill|Sublime Conversion}} for extra healing, or light fields such as {{Skill|Seed of Life}} to cleanse conditions.
 
 
 
 
 
===Tagging===
 
{{Skill|Solar Beam}} allows you to tag enemies easily, specially when using the keybind for "next target".
 
* Use {{Skill|Ancestral Grace}} for mobility, try to aim near allies to reduce its cooldown.
 
* You can manually command your pet to attack certain mobs while you do other things.

Onlywrin gave this build 5 stars • June 2021
Easily one of the best open world supports. This build lets you apply significant Might and healing to nearby allies, and due to the spammable regen you can affect more than 15 people at once if you position correctly. On top of this, the 1200 range hitscan auto lets you tag with the tagging variant in fast-tag events. Just an incredible build for group support in general; highly recommend.
