For this build, your main stat should remain Wisdom howevever and you should aim to reach 70 points into Wisdom to boost your max mana and make use of the Noble Revival to increase your overall healing. Afterwards, you should prioritize Strength for extra max HP and defensive stats that will help you stay alive. You should also aim to reach 30 in dexterity and 40 in perception for extra buff duration and resistances but both remain secondary stats.

Skills

Frost Smokescreen

Icebound Tomb

High Focus

Inner Peace

Touch of Despair

Invincile Wall

Cursed Nightmare

Fountain of Life

Karmic Haze

Swift Healing

Blessed Barrier

Clay's Salvation

Defense

When prioritizing skill upgrades, start with Swift Healing and Clay's Salvation as they are your main healing abilities. However, do not forget Blessed Barrier and Invincile Wall as they provide amazing shielding and can be used to proactively before engages to negate damage.

As far as damaging skills go, Touch of Despair is your only damaging skill and you should use this to stack up your Full of Corruption instead of doing actual damage. Cursed Nightmare is a fantastic skill for CC-ing whole enemy groups and should be one of your priorities when upgrading skills!

Staff: Investing 9 points into Destroy is perfect as it offers extra cooldown speed and skill damage alongside crit. The remaining 6 points should be go to Mana for the additional mana efficiency!

Wand: To enhance the overall damage of your skills, allocate 9 points into the Damage row and the remaining 6 points into Recovery for Skill Heal and crit rate.

Rotations

AOE Sleep Rotation ↴

While this is one of the simplest combos to execute, your positioning is the most important as you have to be rather close to the enemies to pull this off correctly. You want to look for stacked enemies during an enemy push or while your team is pushing towards the enemy zerg and your shotcaller is looking for an engage. Find an enemy in the group and use Touch of Despair and Cursed Nightmare to apply the Touch of Despair debuff and sleep before using Karmic Haze to spread the Cursed Nightmare to nearby enemies alongside Touch of Despair.

Swift Healing: With this being your only healing ability, you want to try and use this smartly even though you can use the ability twice. Try to always pair it with Blessed Barrier to boost the healing amount.

Inner Peace: With the specializtion, this skill allows you to survive a combo as you become immune to CC. This is skill is a great help whenever you are caught alone by a Greatsword or during enemy engages.

Frost Smokescreen: This skill is a great utility skill as it allows you to move across the battlefield quickly, getting out of sticky situations!

High Focus: Use this as a defensive skill, offering you great evasion rate and helping you withstand damage. You should have this applied to yourself as often as possible!

Useful Information

Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides good protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only helps mitigate damage but also speeds up your cooldowns, allowing you to use your abilities much more often.
