Our best choice for lane sustain since it contributes to rescue beam cost, almost always better than extra regen

Value item to build boundless

Mystic Vulnerability
Escalating Exposure
Built from Mystic Vulnerability
If you're trying to steal ults that do continuous damage, do not buy until we're super late game (think 40k+)
Spirit Resilience
Survive
Knockdown
Buy vs multi flier comp or if need interrupt
Spirit Lifesteal
Buy if you're stealing aoe damage ults (seven, warden, etc.)
Unstoppable
Very rare buy, only get if you're repeatedly stealing big channeled ults (dynamo, seven, etc.)
Rescue Beam
Built from Healing Rite
Can be useful for ability range, don't get super early, but you can help your team vs bebop hooks, lash ults, lassos, etc
Divine Barrier
Option to save teammates and get better aoe
Reactive Barrier
Scales fairly well late game with boons, buy this if you're repeatedly getting hit with annoying CC, better to just avoid those situations but can be a helpful crutch item
Ethereal Shift
Echo Shard
Niche buy for when your team requires CC more than damage
Disarming Hex
Disabling utility, helpful for disabling hyper carries, curse is usually better
Restorative Locket
Extra Stamina
Plated Armor
Rusted Barrel
Very good against double m1 lane
Bullet Resist Shredder
Spellbreaker
I will sometimes buy this ultra late game if a hero like talon, lash, or pocket are blowing me up instantly
Lightning Scroll
Built from Mystic Slow
Only buy this if you're ultra late game and intending to steal aoe ults (warden, seven, etc)
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
