|---|
Decay
This is my preferred method for hitting 4.8k as this active gives you constant, very ranged dmg access for your early/mid skirmishes. Sub for Silence Wave/Knockdown
Extra Stamina
Arcane Surge
Built from Extra Stamina
For 2 and 4
Extra Regen
Healing Booster
Built from Extra Regen
More useful during midgame since you'll be healing more targets
Vortex Web
An alternative to Curse when you don't have high value targets
Divine Barrier
Prio when you have a particular carry, or it has high cleanse value
Guardian Ward
Built from Grit
The earlier the better for flat barriers. If a low prio DB game, skip for faster Healnova/Booster
Rescue Beam
Against very particular comps as solo support
Healing Nova
Silence Wave
DO many enemies have critical spells?
Disarming Hex
Against M1 hypercarries
Rusted Barrel
Against a gun lane with a gun teammate
Slowing Hex
Knockdown
To cancel ults and flight
Heroic Aura
Best to only have one of these for your team
Alchemical Fire
Great tempo buy for first urn if its a bad Decay game
Return Fire
Compress Cooldown
Rapid Recharge
Built from Extra Charge
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
Synergizes with max 2, and amps healing significantly. It's also more effective in the late game for more ult damage.
Greater Expansion
Built from Mystic Expansion
Slotlocked?
Superior Duration
Built from Duration Extender
Superior Cooldown
Built from Compress Cooldown
Transcendent Cooldown
Built from Superior Cooldown
Can be prioritized before Boundless, especially if you have 4 actives
