Hello fellow Enchantresses, I understand our class is very diverse. Possibly the most diverse class in the game, we can DPS (Damage Per Second) or Heal/Buff. I am a complete Heal/Buff player, and when I say that I mean it. I have only one damaging spell that I am able to use because I respec'ed and only have 4 points in Drain Life. I am going to break down where I distributed my points, so that the wanna be healers will have some guidance and also I would like for Tanks, Archers, and DPS Mages to also read this so that they can understand how I am improving their skills along with keeping them alive.
On my hotbar to the left I have:
Magic Shield - Rank 5
Divert incoming damage to your mana pool! Cost 20. 12 sec. duration. +Armor per rank.
Blessing of Vitality - Rank 5
Increase party health regeneration! Cost 60. Reduce mana cost per rank.
Blessing of Might - Rank 5
Increase your party's strength and damage! Cost 60. Reduce cost per rank.
Heal - Rank 5
Restore health! Cost 30. +10 per rank.
Also, you can cast spells by pressing the open scroll book at the top right hand corner of your screen.
Other spells I use:
Resurrect - Rank 5
Bring your friends back immediately! Cost 70 at Rank 1. Reduce Cost -10 per rank.
Drain Life - Rank 4
Steal health from your target... for yourself! Cost 30. +Damage / +Health per rank.
So, if you begin battle you cast BOV (Blessing of Vitality) and BOM (Blessing of Might) which combined cost you 20 Mana. The cast Heal as health of party members get low. Something you all might be wondering is why Mana Shield is a good thing for a Mana user. If you are dead, you are no better than if you have no Mana. So, if you are in a fight with your group, and as a Healer you will absolutely pull aggro from at least 1 mob at sometime, and you start to take heavy damage, you can cast mana shield which increases your armor rating and all the damage that originally would effect your health bar will now effect your mana bar. But you ask, "But Xanthia, if I have no mana, How will I heal?" If you are a true healer, you will have an extremely high amount of your attribute points in Intelligence which boosts your Mana Pool and your M/S (Mana Regenerated Per Second). Also, you will equip weapons and armor that boost your M/S and Mana rating positively and not so much on your DPS or any other Stat. After you have done all of this, you will find that you will regenerate enough Mana in my case 2 seconds to cast a heal, so even with mobs attacking my mana pool I am able to keep my group members alive and cast heal every time it is available. Cast BOV and BOM every opportunity you can, VERY IMPORTANT. It helps your DPS do more damage which kills mobs quicker, which in turn ends the battle quicker which means less chance for disaster and less healing, and it increases your party's health regeneration by +4 which adds up when occurring every second and will help supplement your heals. Also, while your group is fighting MOBs make sure you are staying at maximum range from your party and ALWAYS move because you do not need to be stationary to heal, it will help keep the damage to a minimum and also reduce the risk of getting an Ailment like being Frozen like what happens in "The Lost Expansion"
The reason I chose drain life as my last 4 skill points is in a complete emergency if your heal and mana shield are down and you are taking on damage, you can attack the enemy and steal health to keep yourself alive.
If you have any other questions feel free!
**Disclaimer** This build is designed for a close group of skilled players, it is most effective when the Warrior plays a true role of tank, while DPS wait for his lead. This build does work in PUG's (Pick Up Groups) but it is designed for skilled gamers.
**Warning** Do not expect to produce any damage on this build, I can say I hardly ever use my Auto-Attack, it is a waste of time in percentage point comparison to what the Archers and Mage Enchantresses are doing.
