User:Bitzeralisis/Archived Builds/Mo/W Stanced LoD Infuser

This build is primarily designed for use in Guild versus Guild matches. It utilizes the Warrior's defensive Tactics line to provide additional defense for the user, allowing for both a more mobile, and stable healer. The Monk elite skill Light of Deliverance is used to effectively heal the entire party, and its low Energy cost allows the build to be run without Energy management skills.

Usage

 * Use Light of Deliverance to maintain the health of your party at an adequate level.
 * Words of Comfort is your primary direct healing skill.
 * Cast Infuse Health as fast as possible on allies that are dangerously low on Health. This is your primary Spike heal.
 * Remove conditions through Dismiss Condition. Remember that targets under enchantments will receive the healing bonus regardless of whether a condition is removed.
 * Allies under pressure, or Frenzying Warriors should be covered with Protective Spirit.
 * Holy Veil should be used to remove Hexes. This should not be maintained, but cast and removed immediately.
 * Use Shield Bash to defend against enemy attack skills.
 * Balanced Stance should be used if knockdowns are attempted but not at the same time with other stances.

 * For a different situational heal, replace Words of Comfort with other Healing Prayers skills such as Dwayna's Kiss, Ethereal Light, or Orison of Healing.

 * Use Reversal of Fortune for a different form of protective healing.

Counters
