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.

Your priority with this build should be wisdom, as it grants you high max mana which is very needed for a healer. Not only that but Wisdom also improves your mana regeneration and cooldown speed which are all needed. Once Wisdom is at 30, you want to put 30 points into perception for extra damage which scales up the healing done by your healing abilities. Rest of 9 points can go into strength for higher base HP that will improve your survivability, improving your max HP

Wand: Investing 9 points in Recovery is the optimal choice as it increases the amount of healing you can perform while also providing extra mana regeneration. The remaining 3 points can be allocated to Weaken, primarily for extending damage duration.

Bow: Investing 8 points in the Check row is an excellent choice as it offers increased cooldown speed and extra mana, along with mana regeneration. Allocating 4 points into Support will provide a bit of extra health and health regeneration, as well as added movement speed.
