Currently all Vindicator dodges are bugged and interrupted by "line" type skills ({{Skill|Line of Warding}}) even with {{Tooltip|Stability}}. While this bug can be played around, make sure you are aware of it and do play around it if planning to play this build at the moment.

Detailed Explanations

Healing

  • Use and Weapon Swap as often as possible to recharge your dodge for
Alliance
  • Aim to hit focus targets or allies caught in spikes
    • It can be worth delaying slightly if your ally hasn't taken damage yet
  • Other than your heals are very short range, move in close when needed but otherwise you can stay slightly behind the group
  • should be activated as soon as you enter Alliance
    • Use just before leaving Alliance or at any point you are being pressured/targeted
Ventari
  • In general your energy should be spent on , swapping to if cleanse is needed or for CC if your group is spiking and support isn't needed
  • Using to empower your tablet is not worth it compared to spending the energy on the other tablet skills
Healing priority
Vindicator
Ventari
General
  • Dodge -


Condition clear

Alliance
  • Your condition clear mainly comes attached to , use it to to clear Immobilize Immobilize on players caught in enemy spikes
  • Use when you don't have time to cast , such as when crossing through the enemy or if it is on cooldown to clear Immobilize Immobilize
Ventari
  • is a large condition clear but costs a lot of energy, if possible let other supports cleanse while you focus your resources on healing


CC

  • Only prioritize CC against enemies lacking Stability Stability, make sure to watch enemy buff bars
  • Be careful not to knock enemies out of spikes with
    • Use as your group crosses through the enemy or to disrupt rezzes
  • is worth casting on spikes but only if your group is not in need of healing/cleanse


Settings

  • Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
  • Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
    • Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
  • Under Squad Options check View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.

Arete gave this build 4 stars • March 2023
Has insane barrier output, the best burst healing in the game and respectable cleanse output. Pretty easy to use but has a decent skill cap with Tree Song. Easily outclasses every other healer in output when considering the barrier application. Compared to ventari version it gives some stability and damage reduction, but not enough to make up for the loss in cleanse and healing imo.
