the survivable healer

[zappy]

hey guys, ive been asked about 10000 times for this build so im going to detail out everything that i build for, with a few different gearsets depending on what loot you have access to, one for my level, unlimited raid and shroud gear, one for shroud and most raids except for 2h2h, and one for fully raidless including shroud gear.

this build needs 0 past lives. if you want to go all out on the build, in order, get all of the epic lives done, followed by all lives that provide prr, then all lives that provide mrr, then lives that give hp, con, and charisma/intimidate.

the optimal enhancement setup needs a +2 racial tome and a +1 universal tree tome as well as 1 racial past life done 3 times for a total of 84 enhancement points to spend. I will provide alternate setups for people with only 80 enhancement points.

to change this up for no 2h2h loot, swap the citedels gaze for the standard issue faceplate and the celestial sapphire ring for a celstial emerald ring with +21 con, and swap the shield for a mirrorplate tower

to lower the need for 10k codex runes for 3 peices of LGS, swap the gloves off for the hands of house jorosco with displacement guard crafted on.

if you dont want any shroud at all, swap the boots to sunken slippers with +5 quality cha and cloak of balance with +5 quality con

moving to enhancements and epic destinies



84th point goes in the final deflect arrows rank from vanguard.

if you only have 80 points to spend, drop hope for success from beacon of hope and deflect arrows to just 1 rank.



twists

4: martial hymn
3: meld into darkness
1: dragonhide
1: impregnable mind

(if you have epic completionist and therefor a 5th twist slot, you can place energy sheathe here or drop impregnable mind for if needed in places where high elemental damage takes place.)

spell list:



overall, this build gets no fail on all 3 saves, is an excellent healer with a heal SLA, healing wall, renew, heal spell and cure spells with good metamagics, this build has good HP and prr/mrr as well as a workable 120+ intimidate score. you also get wings as well as sprint boost to keep up with fast moving parties. make sure to keep divine power up all the time, it increases your prr.

this build requres 0 past lives and makes for an excellent healer for any content, including healing high difficulty raids, and tanking low difficulty raids.
