Suitable gear and stats
Start with enough Stamina, healing output and a sustainable mana pool. Compare Intellect and regeneration against the duration of your actual fights. These are selection criteria, not measured stat weights.
| Set / item | Context |
|---|---|
| Champion's Aegis | A healing-oriented plate family; compare its pieces and set effects. |
| Premier Field Marshal’s Luminous Faceguard / Chestplate | Catalog examples for later goals. Check vendor availability. |
A one-handed healing weapon and shield is our defensive starting point. When considering cloth or leather, check the armor and Stamina you give up for extra healing stats.
These are concrete comparison candidates, not a guaranteed best-in-slot list. Names remain in English for an exact match. Check the right faction version, requirements and actual vendor availability in game.
Your plan for the next match
- Stand offset from your front line and keep an exit open.
- Use control to interrupt enemy pressure.
- After fighting, identify whether mana, positioning or interrupts limited you most.
