Overview

A healing Tempest build for raids. This build provides extremely high AoE healing and defensive utility for a raid squad, making it a good choice as a secondary raid healer after the Druid.

Because of the massive range of all of its skills, this build works very well as a kiter for raid mechanics, e.g. shards on Cairn or messengers on Dhuum.
