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 strength for higher base HP that will improve your survivability while the rest of your points will go into dexterity for even more resistance.

Wand: Investing 9 points in Recovery is the only option as it increases the healing amount you can perform while also offering extra mana regeneration. 3 remaining points can go into weaken, mainly for extra damage duration.

Bow: Investing 9 points in the Boss row is a straightforward decision as it provides you with extra PVE defenses tailored for fighting bosses, along with some additional health. The remaining 3 points will be allocated to Provoke & Counter for further defense.

Stalwart BastionUsed frame.webpStalwart Bastion: This ability functions as your panic button when you're taking excessive damage and your passive skills aren't enough to sustain you. It's also the ability you use when the boss casts a high-damage spell, and it's recommended that your party members gather close to benefit from its protective effect.

Provoking RoarUsed frame.webpProvoking Roar: Your sole AOE taunt ability, you should reserve this for drawing the attention of multiple smaller enemies, typically appearing as ads during boss encounters or as trash mobs before reaching bosses.

Immortal PrideUsed frame.webpImmortal Pride: Another ability that can serve as a panic button or boost your health to survive boss damage that would otherwise be fatal.

Blessed BarrierUsed frame.webpBlessed Barrier: This spell gives you another shield on demand along with giving you a massive increase in your defenses for 6 seconds and can be used on other party members as any healing received by a shielded player is also increased.

Swift HealingUsed frame.webpSwift Healing: This is your primary healing ability for yourself or party members. However, exercise caution, as the second cast consumes significantly more mana.

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

Fountain of LifeUsed frame.webpFountain of Life: You should use this ability on cooldown for yourself. Place the AOE in the position where you tank the boss to receive constant healing. Other party members can move in to receive the heal if needed, but you should prioritize using it for yourself.
