My heal/Support build (LV 55)

Thanks Khaz. Your guide is nice too. It really goes to show that there's no one way to make a build ^^

I went with BD Light remodel for the +300 HP. I don't really need the MP boost from straye and the extra 200 HP really helps push my mini heal up.

I have MP recovery for tanks, archers, and melee. I've noticed while tanking it actually makes a decent difference so I decided when I remade my heal I would have it. My entire build comes not just from the perspective of a healer, but also from the time I've spent on a tank and what I found helpful from other healers/supports.

 

I think a support Archer would be really interesting and could work. It's not my style because I like raw healing, but you could absolutely make almost a "bard" build with an archer. I'd be curious if anyone's tried that and if my DPS Archer doesn't keep me interested, maybe I'll reroll him with a bard build in mind xD

Also I agree, I sincerely hope more potent support/priest skills are coming, but we'll have to wait a few updates and a lot of levels to find out -.-

 

Hmm... Well You Can Ask That To Alpha Player (Don't Ask Me)... Because Most Of Us Remember It Clearly (Except Me) When It's Still In Alpha...

 

So... From Your Prospective Hp Is Better Eh? I Can't Say It's Wrong But It Does Become Helpful...

 

Well, more HP means higher output on mini heal. I used passives to boost my MP to the 1k mark so I could use more HP focused armor. My tank has 3k HP, and its not even capped, nor does it have any of the higher end HP xtals. Having a high number on mini really helps with healing the HP builds.

 

I See

 

Is anyone ever use:
"4. Life Recovery- (MP 200) Create an area that regenerates HP. The player's DEF decreases. The effect ends when the player takes damage."
from support tree?
How much the heal? Is affected by caster's HP like mini heal? or affect by INT like bless?
I may take this skill for my Archer Pure Dex.
My archer currently always use combo with "tenacity" type (drain HP if no MP).
However, it seems Revita II is not enough because the cooldown too long.

 

Life Recovery.. The Heal is just too little. Even Bless heals more than it. But with no Magic Attack, I'm not sure which heals more.

I have 1626 HP and 162 INT and neither affects it. (I don't have an Archer) As an Archer with Tenacity, you can get it if you want.

I don't think any stat in the stat points allocation window affects it. But it's your call if you want to get it or not.

 

Can i get some tips for a person trying to level this build? What should i focus points into? I attempted to farm skeletons at lv 32 to level quicker and pretty much got destroyed. Here's what I have so far.
63 int (i stopped to save points for luck)
7 arrows, 5 wall, 1 Mastery, 5 charge
5 HP Rest, 10 HP Boost, 5 MP Rest
1 Mini, 1 MP Recharge
5 Bless
Equips:
Irogeon (Dunno if I'm capable of obtaining a better weapon)
Mage Robe (Light Modded)
Scholar's Glasses (S but no gem)
Sofys Talisman (S but no gem)
Note: This was originally my highest level character that i did all the MQ with but i deleted and restarted it; I don't have a guild or friends to help me level (I tend to clash with others more often than not)

 

First off, use a staff instead of an MD if you're farming skeletons. MDs like Irogeon will give you a larger AoE radius but lower damage and like I said in the OP, this isn't a DPS build. For gobs Irogeon is fine but beyond that you need the atk of a staff.

Secondly, I highly recommend getting a light BD armor for survivability. The added HP will help out a ton not only in leveling but in making your mini more potent.

Finally, for gear go LFPing on some bosses. BD for the armor is a good start, followed by minotaur to get yourself a good atk staff. I still suggest Aqua for healing for the aggro decrease but mino will not only give your spells more punch, but will also give your bless a boost.

Additionally, doing boss runs will let you practice your healing. Having the stats and gear is fine but you need to put it into practice if you're going to get good at support. A lot of timing and good instincts are needed to heal in any game and this one is no exception. Hope that helps ^^
