Overview

This build focuses on the healing potential of the Panacea FanPanacea Fan and its access to ResurrectionResurrection used in group PVP content where it performs the best, more than capable of aiding allies in small and larger group PVP scenarios. The Mortal Rope DartMortal Rope Dart adds a bit of damage and mobility but also offers Fortitude (CC immunity), making it difficult to overwhelm as you can use the Rodent's ResilienceRodent's Resilience for protection and self-healing. While this build doesn't have enough damage to kill players quickly enough, it can out-sustain them while healing allies.

Morale Chant

Morale ChantMorale Chant is one of the best Inner Ways for boosting both damage and healing. It’s very easy to stack in this build because you use a lot of Light Attacks, and it also gains stacks from any healing you let out either on yourself or others.

VendettaVendetta is another key part of the setup, since it helps you build Tokens of Gratitude and increases your damage by making the Vendetta Token from Bladebound ThreadBladebound Thread last longer. You should also use Seasonal EdgeSeasonal Edge, as it gives you extra buffs whenever you swap weapons, and this build swaps weapons often, making it an obvious choice.

Leaping ToadLeaping Toad & Talon StrikeTalon Strike are good for CC as they can be used to knock people down but Talon StrikeTalon Strike is tough to land and doesn't do very much damage. Meridian TouchMeridian Touch does good chip damage while also allowing you to execute from range by following up with it right after using the Meridian TouchMeridian Touch.

Serene BreezeSerene Breeze is an incredibly important skill as it breaks you out of CC chains and allows you to make a comeback in a fight. Cloud StepsCloud Steps is very strong for catching enemies off guard and closing the distance to the enemy. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath is good for doing quick damage at the end of combos so you can add an extra dot on the target while also denying potential comebacks from them. Cloud StepsCloud Steps is great for its extra mobility, letting you jump between targets while Yaksha RushYaksha Rush goes through Block and can be used to settle a block hold.
