fvs healer advice needed.

[bruener]

Hiya, I currently have a lvl 20 fvs elf. I want to respec her into a pure healer. Main focus being heals then spell points then keeping myself alive(just talking hp here) I don't care about fighting at all myself. I have access 32 pt builds and +2 tomes. So any1 out there with a Pure healer spec pls give advice on feats, eguipment ,stats and enhancements. I have items from amrath that have potancy 6 and spell pts 175(double for fvs I think) and the ring of telis and a couple other healer items. I'm not new at the game by any means but I have never went strickly heals b4. For instance on this toon I took heighten instaed of quicken. Also took spell pen instead of something that would help my sp(mental toughness maybe). So any advice on my overhaul?

Max charisma, Max constitution, and Max your sleep skill, because you'll be doing a lot of snoozing playing a healbot.

[bruener]

Yep well the plan is to always have a healer for guild raids and epics. I have plenty of melee and arcanes to keep me busy. Sometimes its nice just to heal and loot. Have the max char down. I've just seen too many horrible healers out there,u know who u r,and want to be a uber healer. I realize that being a full time healbot can be boring but this isn't a fulltime play toon. It will be kept in a case that reads "break in case on raids".

Favored soul life magic enhancement line is pretty useful. Quicken is great to have - need to get those healing spells off to keep the group alive.

1. Get full amps on your healing magic with your Action Points. (10!)
2. Take quicken & empower heal feats
3. Max your charisma for spell points, max your hp for survivability.
4. Get yourself a 75% clickie.

You are now the best healer you can be buildwise on a FvS.
Enjoy!

(You COULD take empower or maximize for your cure spells if you choose, but those are NOT sp efficient!)

To further your studly healing reputation, stock:
1. 100 heal scrolls
2. 50 raise dead scrolls
3. Some wands for various ailments, little heals, or whatever.

Then even if you are out of sp, you can still keep em on their feet.

Generally, fully speccing into hjeals is inefficient since the gains are minor and you'd be sacrificing everything else about your character. Going full ****** healing gains you 300 extra spell points or so and thats it.

But if you want that:
Max Charisma. You get 29 extra spell points per 2 Charisma at level 20 so the gain is far from impressive, but if you want to make a toothless healbot, go ahead.

Then there Mental Toughness and Improved MT - each feat adds a bit more than 100 SP, so it's way too little to throw away one of your valuable feats. But if you really want to do nothing but hjeal, sure.

For healing you'll primarilywant Quicken and Maximize.
Then, to pump your capstone clicky (Sov Host faith) you'll also want to grab Empower and Empower Heal.

The rest, stats and feats can go into HP.

So, in total,
max Charisma, max Con,
MT, IMT, Max, Emp Heal, Emp, Toughness for the rest, maybe the Shield Mastery feats.

A ridiculous gimp but it will have a bit more mana than a FvS who not only can keep everyone healed but also brings armageddon upon her enemies. But to each their own.

For a healbot, just pump mana and HP and take the appropriate metas.

Heal scrolls won't always work fast enough, still need to manage your mana even if you have a lot.

con-op and torc, I can always stand in the middle of a bunch of archers and recharge. Capstone cure light to keep my HP up during this. Note: This is not a fast method.

I use "enlarge" during part 4 of the shroud, I can stand up against any of the walls and heal. Don't need to watch where the blades are (well mostly, those heat seeking buggers can still come after you).

[BinyaminTsadik]

To further your studly healing reputation, stock:
1. 100 heal scrolls
2. 50 raise dead scrolls
3. Some wands for various ailments, little heals, or whatever.

Only 100 heal scrolls? I go through about 150 per quest, bluebars are for wings and DP and emergencies

[Cardtrick]

(You COULD take empower or maximize for your cure spells if you choose, but those are NOT sp efficient!)

Definitely take Maximize. You want it for Blade Barrier and Divine Punishment, anyway, and there are definitely times when mass heal just isn't fast enough and you need to go with a mass cure. Any time you're using a mass cure, it should be maximized -- they all cost at least 25 spell points, so Maximize actually improves their SP-efficiency (heals twice as much at less than or equal to twice the cost).

My Favored soul is a heal bot with offensive capabilities. I maxed His Wis, started with a 16 con, and put rest into CHA.
You do not need to max CHA. I did that on mine and regretted it, so I LRed him and he only lost 100 sp going from 38 cha to a 24.
It is easy to get 3000+ sp with only 24 CHA.

Following build is my FVS and he works very well healing and throwing a spell here and there.
Some notes: Cunning Trinket gives FVS and SCR 100 sp.
With Ship buffs his Wis is 36 and SP is 3151.
