Usage

Elder's Blight StaffElder's Blight Staff

Rejuvenating FlowerRejuvenating Flower — This spell creates a flower over which allies can step. Any allies stepping over will spread Rejuvenation Charges in an AOE to 10 allies while also healing them. The number of Rejuvenation Charges being applied depends on how long the flowers have been on the ground.

One charge will be applied without any growth time while 2 charges are applied if the flower remains untouched for 2 seconds. If the flowers manage to grow for 4 seconds, 3 charges will be applied and the healing is greatly increased.

Cleanse HealCleanse Heal — This AOE will remove all CC effects from allies while also cleansing any other debuffs. The ability also heals based on the amount of Rejuvenation Charges but it consumes 1 Rejuvenation Charge from the targets it heals.

Elevated NatureElevated Nature — Use this ability to rapidly heal allies around you as you move. The ability also offers you a nice movement speed increase during the channel and you cannot be interrupted during the channel. Make sure to walk around with this and stay close to the most wounded allies in order to heal them quickly.

Adrenaline Driven CharityAdrenaline Driven Charity — After casting any 4 spells, your healing amount will be increased by 20% for 3 seconds. This is easy to trigger as you will be spamming Rejuvenating FlowerRejuvenating Flower anyway.


Elder's Cleric RobeElder's Cleric Robe

Everlasting SpiritEverlasting Spirit — One of the best defensive abilities in the game even though it was nerfed numerous times. This allows you to gain a shield that makes you completely invulnerable for a short duration while also increasing your healing done by 20% . However, once you press the ability, you MUST take damage to trigger the effect.

AggressionAggression — 8% increased healing amount cannot be denied and makes this the obvious choice.


Elder's Assassin HoodElder's Assassin Hood

MeditationMeditation — A great choice as it allows you to essentially reset the cooldowns of your abilities and use them again very quickly. Particularly useful for you Elevated NatureElevated Nature!

Balanced MindBalanced Mind — This increases your healing amount. And as you have no casting time, there is no point in taking Quick ThinkerQuick Thinker.


Elder's Scholar SandalsElder's Scholar Sandals

Focused RunFocused Run — Without any other defensive options, Focused RunFocused Run is a great choice to help with your survival as it offers CC immunity and stops you from relying on others using Displacement ImmunityDisplacement Immunity.

  • While there isn't a real rotation for this, you want to always be stacking flowers by using Rejuvenating FlowerRejuvenating Flower and planting your flowers a bit out of the way where allies move in such a manner that they can see them but won't instantly step on them. A good idea is to keep flowers in the retreat path of your team but you can also put them down on top of your allies to atleast start stacking Rejuvenation Charges on them. Use Cleanse HealCleanse Heal to free your allies from CC and also offer burst healing when needed.

With Elevated NatureElevated Nature being your main healing ability, you want to use this to follow your team through pushes and retreats alike, making sure that they remain as close as possible to full health.


Consumables

Major Resistance PotionMajor Resistance Potion — Feel free to use this potion as a general damage reduction cooldown if you anticipate to take damage or if you are caught out of position.

Major Energy PotionMajor Energy Potion — Keep plenty in your inventory and switch to one whenever you need mana then switch to your Major Resistance PotionMajor Resistance Potion. Doing this won't put your abilities on cooldown.

Pork OmelettePork Omelette — With the strength of the build being the use of abilities to help others, Pork OmelettePork Omelette will help you do exactly that. Try to bring at least a 7.1 for ZvZ fights as the prices isn't all that steep.
