• 跋山涉水 2 additionally grants Regeneration.
• 幻影狙击 4 stuns foes.
• 恢复咒语 → 2x 强力恢复 additionally heals, and grants Regeneration and Swiftness.

Spend Notes to play Instruments as soon as they recharged:

Cast your remaining skills as follows:

• F5 while as many Instruments as possible are active. F5 will grant boons, as well as healing and granting barrier to you and your allies. With your F5 will gain an additional effect depending on the instrument you used before casting it. As a healer we are mainly interested in the additional effect of F3, which provides more Defiance Break, or F4, which provides more Healing.
• 3 grants Fury and Might and you should therefore cast it off cooldown. It's sequence skill, , instead heals allies for a large amount, cleanses conditions, and blinds foes — cast it only when you need to save your allies.
