Information

A Scourge build that brings heavy support in raids and fractals. This build provides sustained healing and extreme resurrecting ability. In addition, it can provide some Might to its subgroup, or deal respectable damage if using the Hybrid DPS variant.

It should be noted that most of the healing is in the form of barrier, which isn't reduced by Agony (in fractals) and makes it easier to maintain uptime. This makes it an excellent healer in a fractal group that already has Fury covered by a Firebrand, or in a raid squad that already has a Druid.
