Greatsword
Longbow

Weapon Variants

Axe/Warhorn can be used to replace either weapon set if you are struggling to maintain Regeneration Regeneration.


Skill Variants

  • You could run Dolyak Stance instead of Signet of Stone if you need to lower your toughness to avoid being tank.
  • If you are bringing a warhorn, then you don't need "We Heal As One!" to maintain Regeneration Regeneration and so you could bring Troll Unguent for more sustained healing.

Equipment Variants

  • You can run more Minstrel gear depending on your tank's toughness.
  • Pretty much any combination of healing gear works provided you have a minimum of 34% boon duration. You can just use Build:Druid_-_Boon_Support_Healer gear if you have it.


Relics

Relic choice is a matter of personal preference Relic of the Flock gives you some barrier to tank hands with but there are other options:

  • Relic of the Defender if using a Greatsword will heal you while blocking
  • Relic of Dwayna for more powerful Regeneration Regeneration
  • Relic of Durability if you're having trouble with boon uptimes


Runes

Many runes will work in place of Rune of Superior Rune of the Water, such as:

  • Rune of Superior Rune of the Monk
  • Rune of Superior Rune of the Rebirth


Consumables

Food


Utility


Usage

  • The key aspect of this build is to maintain permanent Protection Protection and Regeneration Regeneration by using Moa Stance off cooldown and following up with "We Heal As One!" to extend the boons. You can dodge for extra Protection Protection from Companion's Defense.
  • If you find that you need to be more reactive with your heal, you can make up for the loss of Regeneration Regeneration by taking a warhorn.
  • High numbers of hands can be stacked with Counterattack or Defy Pain (soulbeast).
  • Use Unflinching Fortitude on every Mind Crush.
  • Eternal Bond can save you from being downed once every 60 seconds. Triggering it will knock you out of Beastmode, so you will be more vulnerable until you can re-enter.
  • Signet of Stone can be used to prevent incoming damage, but you will be without it a very long time afterwards, so it should only be used in an emergency.
  • You can use Black Bear's to stack hands tightly, then unmerge when you have some downtime and swap to Blue Moa for the extra heal.
    • Make sure to be merged again before using any skills that affect both you and your pet, otherwise you you'll miss out on the double application.

It kites hands. While Herald is usually safer and also provides offensive buffs, this is a solid build to run if you already have Healing Druid gear.
