Harbinger - Quickness Support Healer

• 死亡恐惧 can be taken for slightly higher defiance damage.

With the shortest Shroud 4 cooldown on Necromancer, Harbinger can get more use out of 鲜血输送 than other builds. Between this and 生命仪式, it has perhaps the strongest res potential in the game.

In addition to decent CC, it provides 20 威能, 25 易伤 and permanent 激怒, 急速 and 再生.

Unfortunately, as it doesn't provide permanent 保护 or much in the way of utility boons (mostly limited to 勇气试剂), the build is mostly a novelty.

Secrets of the Obscure added a number of potent healing weapons that significantly increased the gap between this build and the weakest "meta" healers. As such, it has been given the Basic rating.

• 美味饭团 or ascended variants

Utility

Skill Variants

Utility 苦痛试剂 is not required to maintain 急速, so it is the first choice to swap out, but the other utilities can be replaced if 威能 is covered by someone else.

• 威力法池 if your group has a lack of 威能 (or you want a stunbreak and some self 稳固)
• 腐蚀毒云 for projectile defence
• 增益腐蚀 or 腐化法池 for boon removal
• 召唤血肉地虫 for body blocking certain attacks
• 不死纹章 for an additional res
• 鬼灵缚爪 for more CC
• 威力法池 or 福佑试剂 for condition removal

Elite

• 召唤血肉魔像 for more CC.

• With this setup you can use (mostly) the same gear as on Heal Scourge.

Equipment Variants

• While not generally recommended, Plaguedoctor stats can be taken for higher DPS at the cost of Healing Power and boon duration. Take if doing so and consider adjusting other aspects of the build for boon duration and healing.

Weapons

• Staff can be taken in the second weapon slot for more , CC, and a condition transfer.
• Mainhand Dagger can be taken instead of Pistol for increased Life Force generation, boonstrip, and self-healing, at the cost of reduced damage and CC.
