Healing Dervs

now that they killed signet of pious light and with mysticism only working for derv enchants, is there still any hope for derv healers? i think this skill should of just been left alone, or at least reduce the healing back and/or make it recharge like 95% faster or something. 75% (5 sec) is just way too long, specially for just 30-150 health.

True, but Avatar of Dwayna just went off the charts for heals. I'm sure you could come up with an alternative if you put your mind to it!

He's probably thinking of RA, which is the only place I've ever seen derv healers. And yeah, they're basically dead. They'd be kinda broken at the old instant recharge though, seeing as you can just flash enchantments between casts.

Maybe if you can push mantra of inscriptions to a 3s recharge on the skill...

I came up with this once, I used it in Vizunah Square HM as one backline, other was monk on my side. I used:

Signet of Pious Light
Mystic Healing
Release Enchantments
Featherfoot Grace
Eremite's Zeal
Veil of Thorns
Lyssa's Haste
Avatar of Dwayna

It's pretty straightforward. Maintain the Avatar, use Lyssa's Haste to recharge the enchantments faster, Veil of Thorns is a good to counter spikes, Eremite's is Energy, Featherfoot is good for if conditions are a problem. Mystic is party healing if the party doesn't need the spike from when you use Release. Pious Light is useful for solo healing.

This is just the first few skills I threw together to make sense, although maybe Meditation is good if it gives you the energy bonus when Release activates, haven't tested that, also not sure if it's needed.

Here's a picture right as I used Release Enchantments =D

And yes, it heals allies, not just party members, so minions and Togo, Mhenlo, and the other team are all getting healed.

If he was talking about RA then that's useless. AoD party healing is superior to anything else out there in PvE, but not PvP.

This is The Campfire (i.e. PVE) so... Avatar of Dwayna FTW

Meditation + 3 flash enchants with 10 or 6 recharge and then you get an instant-healing 50-53HP every 3-4 seconds party healer (about 10 pip HP regen). If you load up the enchants and run nothing else you can push it to about once every 1.3 seconds. Unless Signet of Pious Light heals every 3 seconds (which is doesn't unless you have loads of flash enchants and Mantra of Inscriptions) there's no way to match AoD. Signet of Pious Light is on 5 cooldown at best.

i.e.
12+1+2 Mysticism (-10 net HP compared to non-Derv)
12+1 Scythe

Meditation
Whirling Charge
Mirage Cloak
Fleeting Stability/Sand Shards/Harrier's Haste
Anything 1
Anything 2
Anything 3

20.83 HP/sec (~10 regen)

You can also be more gimmicky and run Dust Cloak/Rending Aura/Staggering Force (any 2 of the 3) with Pious Assault. It locks you to scythe.

12+1+2 Mysticism
12+1 scythe

I've also ran dark fury
12+1+2 Mysticism
11+1 Scythe
6 Blood (can also drop scythe and pump blood to 12... for no added gains)

Meditation
Whirling Charge
Mirage Cloak
Fleeting Stability/Sand Shards/Harrier's Haste
Dark Fury
Victorious Sweep; Foul Feast if all blood
Radiant Scythe/Aura Slicer ; Mystic healing/Guiding Hands if all blood

Notes
Whirling Charge is the best enchantment to use since it ends rather quickly, and it it doesn't, just autoattack.

If you're willing to deal with some downtime (due to Lyssa's Haste)

How well do they run this while equipping a bow or staff?
