Equipment

• Full Radiant Insignia Armor with Superior Vigor, Minor Protection Prayers and Minor Divine Favor. All other pieces should use Runes of Atunement.
• A +5 energy Sword/Axe of Enchanting and a 20/20 Protection Offhand. Consider equiping low and high energy focus swaps.

Usage

• Keep Channeling up all the time.
• Reversal of Fortune, Gift of Health, and Signet of Devotion are your main healing skills.
• Divert Hexes can remove a large number of hexes from a teammate. It can also be used to remove conditions, but only when there are hexes present.
• Shield of Absorption and Protective Spirit are protecting skills to prevent spikes.
• Dismiss Condition for condition removal and healing.

Counters

• Various Anti-caster builds.

Variants

• Take Holy Veil to have a counter for Diversion or Migraine skills.

Notes

• Divert Hexes has a large energy cost, so use it wisely.
• Divert Hexes is useless against teams without hexes, such as heavy-melee teams or various kinds of spikes. That's why this build includes protection skills, so it isn't useless in a battle against such teams. In case you find yourself in a situation like that, keep up energy by using Signet of Devotion, and quickly cast Protective Spirit and Shield of Absorption in that order on a target that seems to be spiked.
