Rotations

Boss Damage Rotation ↴

Start the boss by applying Deadly Marker and Touch of Despair before continuing debuffing the boss with Time for Punishment. Begin your direct damage rotation with Strafing (2 times) before using File:Decisive Snipe.webpDecisive Snipe.

Continue the rotation with Touch of Despair in order to refresh the debuff on your target and continue to make use of Vampiric Contract. Finish the rotation with Zephyr's Nock, Corrupted Magic Circle and Curse Explosion.

Fountain of Life: You should use this skill to keep your tank and melee DPS healthy throughout the fight, allowing you to use your other skills to heal ranged DPS and yourself.

Swift Healing: This is the perfect skill for single target healing and also heals you for 50% of the healing done!

Clay's Salvation: This is your secondary AoE healing ability. Try to use it whenever your group mates are close together so the AoE heal can reach all of them.

Nature's Blessing: This bow ability is a valuable for passive health regeneration. It also enhances mana regeneration, which synergizes perfectly with Inner Peace, an ability commonly used by mages. Before activating Nature's Blessing, communicate with mages in your group so they can prepare to use Inner Peace and replenish their mana reserves.

Touch of Despair: While being one of your debuff abilities, when coupled with Vampiric Contract passive, it can provide significant passive healing as long as you maintain the curse stacks on the target. Ensure to keep the curse stacks up for optimal healing and to maximize the damage done.

Useful Information

Select Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides essential protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only aids in mitigating damage but also increases your cooldown speed in order to let you heal more often.

 ==Overview==
-With this Healing Build, we'll be utilizing the combination of the Wand & Tome and Longbow weapons to support and heal allies. The Wand + Bow Healer build boasts excellent healing capabilities but can also deal damage when necessary. Our main hand weapon is the Wand & Tome, complemented by the Longbow in the off-hand. Together, these weapons form a formidable combination for healing allies. While the Longbow may seem like an unconventional choice, it possesses surprising healing capabilities, which will be elaborated on in the skill section of the Healer Build for Throne and Liberty.

-We rely on many high-level passives, which keeps the cost for the build quite low.

Meanwhile, {{Skill|Wraith's Beckon|passive}} extends the duration of your curses, providing extra healing thanks to {{Skill|Vampiric Contract|passive}}.
