Playstyle
Opener
Cast Sun Aura + Radiant Aura before the pull. Both are free passive heals — the party takes zero mana from you until the fight starts.
Main rotation
Tank-priority triage: watch his HP first, DPS second, self third. Small heals often > big heals rarely — cast cadence beats cast size for mana efficiency.
Positioning
Behind the tank at all times. Never closer than max heal range — one misposition + one hit = dead healer = wipe.
Cooldown usage
Healing Revive is the wipe-saver — hold it for a party-death, never spam. Life Burst is the AoE emergency reset — trigger when 2+ allies drop below 40%.
Boss phase
Pre-buff with Algae Salad + Chamomile Tea. Sun Aura + Radiant Aura up on pull → prioritise tank heals during aggro phases → save Healing Revive for the second boss phase.
Strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- The build that turns 4-player co-op from 'survive' to 'farm'
- Passive auras buff the whole squad without any actions on your part
- Healing Revive is a wipe-saver in boss fights
Cons
- Solo-unfriendly — no damage means no progression by yourself
- Mana-starved if you don't optimise food + cast cadence
- Squishy; one misposition = dead healer = wipe
Synergies & counters
Pairs with
- Sword & Board Tank — Holds all aggro so your heal rotations land uninterrupted. Prioritise his HP — if the tank drops, the party wipes.
- Necromancer Glass Cannon — Your heals enable his glass-cannon burst plays. Waters of Life covers the Bloodletting HP cost — pure burst uptime.
- Ranger Sniper — Kite-heavy DPS needs your Sun Aura passive top-up between volleys. Frees him from bandage micro-management.
- Ice Mage — Crowd Control — Her freeze rotations buy you free-cast windows. Mutual protection — your heals + her CC = untouched squad.
Struggles against
- Solo play — No damage means no progression alone. Bring Battlemage Hybrid for a solo-capable variant that keeps some healing.
- Healer-targeting AoE bosses — Rare but exists — some Basin bosses drop AoE on the lowest-threat unit. Pre-plan Arcane Deflection + tank taunts.
- Fast Shroud swarm waves — Cloth armor folds to 4+ mob pulls. Rely on tank aggro; if the tank drops, you die second.
- Cave / dungeon tight LOS — Tight corridors block heal-line to the tank. Stay adjacent — inch closer than you would in open fights.
