Talk:Volvo backup Healer

SnowDog: Here's my thought on a new backup healer build. It's pretty similar to the main healer build, I guess. I would think that you'd want to do half of holy first, then get consecration, then back to fill out holy. A L55 character with this build would have everything but Divine Strength.

Holy Talents - 30 points

• Improved Lay on Hands - rank 1/2
• Spiritual Focus - rank 4/5
• Improved Holy Light - rank 3/3
• Revelation - rank 2/2
• Illumination - rank 5/5
• Divine Favor - rank 1/1
• Improved Seal of Righteousness - rank 5/5
• Improved Flash of Light - rank 3/3
• Sanctity Aura - rank 1/1
• Divine Strength - rank 5/5

Retribution Talents - 21 points

• Benediction - rank 5/5
• Two-Handed Weapon Specialization - rank 5/5
• Deflection - rank 5/5
• Vengeance - rank 5/5
• Consecration - rank 1/1

I think five points into Spiritual Focus is important. You could drop a point from Divine Strength or Improved Seal of Light very easilly. Also SoCrusader is total crap now. I'd only but points into Improved SoCrusader if you plan on judging it a lot. Also get SoCommand any way you can :)

The reason for only going to 4 in Spiritual Focus is that we are always running maxxed Concentration Aura. 4 points in SF gives 104% chance to not lose casting time.

I think a point into SoCo would not be a bad idea at all.--Jini 09:57, 4 Jun 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Legedi:

I'm pretty sure Spiritual Focus and Concentration don't stack that way. It checks twice so if SF give 56% and Concentration is 50% you would have a 78% of not being interupted.

My thoughts run a bit more toward defense. Swap Imp Seal of Light in for Divine Strength and swap Anticipation in for Vengeance. I tend to be underwhelmed with Vengeance and I have the highest crit rate in the group. It is useful to keep Seal of Light up on the main target, especially for tougher fights and it seems to make sense for the backup healer to Judge it. --Jini 17:03, 16 Nov 2005 (GMT)
