Usage
General:
- Try to avoid putting yourself in situations where you will need to swap attunement without overloading. accounts for a significant part of your healing output.
- If you are alone and have to run somewhere, you can stack permanent swiftness: overload an attunement and immediately switch to another one to gain Can't find such trait "Speedy Conduit"! Please refer to our trait index effect. Repeat this with every attunement. If using a staff, when on Air also use .
- The best use of is when it avoids fatal damage and heals you. Use it when you anticipate significant incoming damage on you or an ally.
- Is a very powerful AoE heal for yourself and allies. Try to coordinate it with your allies so they receive each pulse of the channel to maximize the healing. The first pulse heals the most but has the smallest radius, while the other two pulses have a lower healing value but larger radius.
- Your auras do not stack in duration, try to avoid overlapping the same aura unless it is absolutely necessary for healing.

- Use after you start casting it.
- Use the "burning retreat trick" (see GYF). This way avoids using but you can find yourself even further away from your zerg. Gfycat: Burning Retreat Trick
- 's direction is based on your where your character is looking. Turn briefly while casting the skill to aim it and effectevily blocking the passage. Gfycat: See GYF for explaination
