Templar all out Healing AA's??

[Melofire]

<p>I'm looking for some help I quit playing back when EoF came out. I've since returned to the game recently. I've been leveling up my Templar and now I am looking for some suggestions with how to build up my AA's for the best healing spec. I don't want to do damage I care nothing for it. Just Healing..... Anyone have any sites or other posts they can direct me to? It would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Eq2flames is a good resourse.. there is some thread here too but you'll hvae to search for them.</p><p>In short</p><p>KOS:  INT 44682 AGI 4488 STA 4476   (though STR is nice for the solo grind to 80 so dont discount dps... it's a slow grind for a templar)</p><p>EOF:  Blessing (enough to get blessings.   max out UB) / Reproval (mit debfuff -5) / cures (enough for sanctuary, ignore mana cure) / smites (5 each in the nukes and warring dieities and take end ability)</p><p>       again smites > cures imo ... especially for the solo grind up.     though cures would be a more "conservative healer spec".   I'd do 2 lines in eof then move to tso.</p><p>TSO:  mana 5 health 5, seal of faith 5, holy armor 5, devoted healing 5, deveoted allegiance 5 (could do 5 in allied prayers... though not impressed with this ability atm).     Flurry -5 is very nice espeically if you're runnign with the melee crits from KOS.   4th line is obvious.   rest of points distributed as you see fit in TSO.  (note you can't get to 4th line without 170 total spent).</p><p>Which ones to concentrate on first can be debated... INT/ AGI/ Blessings would be priorities i think.   followed by sta/ smites.  </p>

<p>BAh i did... why are the numbers arranged on a phone and a keypad differently. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  </p><p>I guess end ability takes too points.   Thanks for catching that.   I've updatd the orginal post.</p>

<p>Here is the spec I currently run with, and it works fine for me.  Take your Cleric STR: 4, 4, 6, 8, 2    AGI:  4, 4, 8, 8   WIS: 4, 4, 4, 8    Total 69</p><p>I like the Templar Mark of Divinity 3, Involuntary Gift 5, Unyielding Benediction 6, Glory 6, Blessings 1;  Reproval 5, Sign of Placation 5, Greater Complacency 5, Awestruck 5, Overconfidence 1; Noxious 5, Trauma 5, Elemental 5, Arcane 5, Sanctuary 5    Total 67</p><p>I am having trouble remembering my spec here, I am at work and cannot look it up.  In the Shadow Odyssey I would take: Improved mana 5, Improved health 5, Improve short cast heal 5, Improve Buckler 5, Improve Vitae 5, Improve Redoubt (the HP buff could be wrong on the name) 5, Sacrifice 1, Improve Group Direct Heal 5 (I would stay away from the group vitae for now), + HP to buff spells 5, Healing Stance 2    Total 43</p><p>Obviously there is still room for points elsewhere, I would recomend adding points to each of your group defense buffs.  TSO tree I am still learning and experimenting with.</p>

<p>Eww Wisdom line <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Overconfidnece line may have some uses with upcoming tank changes.   I would never spec outta smite wraths though but that's cause i like nukin'.   Had it a bit in ROK... only really found it useful on when we were working Twins in Korsha tbh.</p>

<p>If you plan of raiding past t2 you had better get over that whole "I don't like Nuke'N" mentality.  If you're not healing or curing you had better be blasting crap.</p>

<p>This is what I currently have (at 194 AA) for my all-out healing spec. It's a pretty decent raid spec, but your mileage may vary.</p><p><img src="http://www.itseyland.com/pics/clerichps.jgp" width="652" height="612" /></p><p><img src="http://www.itseyland.com/pics/templarhps.jgp" width="655" height="610" /></p><p>The remaining points here can go into dps or de-aggro. It's up to you.</p><p><img src="http://www.itseyland.com/pics/shadowhps.jpg" width="655" height="612" /></p><p>There are other useful specs however. If you already have high heal crit (or if you're already buffed above 100% heal crit in a raid group), consider moving points to "Steadfast" for the immunity to interruption, which is helpful for some encounters. You may also have sacrifice Divine Recovery as well, however, to do so. So your alternate cleric tree may look like this.</p><p><img src="http://www.itseyland.com/pics/clericdps2.jpg" width="653" height="608" /></p><p>You can then use an AA mirror to develop a more dps-oriented spec, or a more balanced / utility spec. Note that the 8 points in "Bolt of Power", above Steadfast on the far left is pretty useful for its ability to interrupt. (hint: Varsoon)</p><p>The above spec is part of my more dps / balanced spec. The rest of that spec is as follows:</p><p><img src="http://www.itseyland.com/pics/templardps2.jpg" width="656" height="609" /></p><p>The remaining points here can either go into Reproval or de-aggro, depending on your needs.</p><p><img src="http://www.itseyland.com/pics/shadowdps2.jgp" width="652" height="609" /></p><p>Obviously, this spec has more dps in it, but it also not a "pure dps" spec either -- it has enough healage/defensive abilities in it that you can raid with it in the MT group and still be a viable healer. (Which is why I have put points in both stances--so you can multi-role without having to respec in the middle of a raid).</p><p>In this more balanced spec, you can quickly switch from dps to healing by switching from offensive to healing stance and disabling "Yaulp." Conversely, enable the offensive stance (Peaceful Aggression) and Yaulp to switch to an offensive/dps stance. Having a macro with alternate gear configuration (a dps gear set and a healer gear set), is also helpful for playing a multi-role healer.</p><p>In practice, I have a bit more fun with my multi-role spec than with my pure healer spec. The pure healer spec is still considerably better for the toughest zones.</p><p>Enjoy.</p><p>[This public service message brought to you by the friendly folks at Advocatus Diaboli on Everfrost.]</p>

<p>Well, I wouldn't call them wrong, but there are a couple of things I wouldn't do with an all out healing spec:</p><ul><li>4478 AGI instead of 4488 - if you are going to get the best out of shield ally, you need to max everything that contriubutes to it. (Personally I drop 1 pt from heal crits to do this)</li><li>Manacure and maxing out the tiny little reactives that never trigger? From testing even my max heal spec will go Smite Wraths after maxing out complacency (for the deaggro).  I do  leave enough pts to max out Sanctuary to 40sec (regardless of detractors who claim its not necessary).</li><li>Points in Allied Prayers? it doesn't do squat.  Either its broken, or I never let the reactive time out in the MT group, as it barely registered on any heal parse when I had it.  I'd throw the saved points into our small direct heal on the line above, or flurry even (yeah,  yeah I know its a pure heal spec - Disgrace then).</li><li>Disgrace and its upgrades, if you can throw enough points into it, the mitigation debuff is pretty significant on paper for raids (nothing lives long enough in groups) - Thats in templar & tso trees which you haven't done. (Templar gives more).</li></ul>

[SpineDoc]

<p>I was wondering about the lack of mitigation debuff points on that build as well.  I know that when soloing putting the mitigation debuff on improves my melee dps a solid 20% with no AA points, and I would estimate 30-40% with all the AA's maxed.  As a debuff with grouping/raids, especially with a lot of melee/tank/scout damage, that's just a huge debuff IMO.</p>
