Blue Mage Healer Guide & Build

Healer is a strong and viable role. With DPS dealing as much damage as it does, you will often find yourself as the solo healer for the group, which means healing takes clear priority over damage.

Main Healer

The main healer drops Triple Trident, Whistle, and Bristle from the DPS loadout. Whistle and Triple Trident are hard to get casts off on as a healer, and Bristle only realistically buffs Song Of Torment, which is a small enough gain that it is not worth the slot. This leaves three open spots that can be filled by any of those spells if you find you have the breathing room.

Gameplay

Your core loop is Pom Cure-ing the tank, throwing out Gobskin before incoming raid-wides, and using White Wind as your primary heal when the party needs topping up.

Angel's Snack is extremely strong and should be used for big heal checks. Stotram is effective but it is the first spell to consider dropping if you need a slot, since Pom Cure into White Wind will almost always heal for more. Because you are not spending mana on DPS Primals the way a DPS would, you have plenty of mana to lean on White Wind freely.

For damage, Moon Flute windows are more accessible than you might expect. Tanks can sustain themselves with White Wind for a surprisingly long time, so look for opportunities to squeeze in a Moon Flute window whenever the party is safe. You will mostly be freestyling these rather than executing a tight optimized opener.

Make sure Off-guard is up during every Moon Flute window to boost the whole party’s damage.

Off-Healer

The off-healer plays essentially as a DPS that also brings Angel's Snack. Angel’s Snack is the primary reason to run an off-healer at all, since it is one of the strongest healing cooldowns available.

Compared to the main healer loadout, the off-healer picks up Tingle, Whistle, and Triple Trident, and also adds Cold Fog, which off-healers have more opportunity to use since they are mostly playing DPS. Gobskin and Stotram are dropped: the main healer handles Gobskin, and the slot is better used elsewhere.

Gameplay

Follow the same rotation as the DPS role. Execute Moon Flute openers with your OGCDs whenever possible, cover big heal checks with Angel's Snack, and keep Off-guard up for openers. Primary healing duty falls to the main healer; if they want to Moon Flute, cover Pom Cure duty for them and alternate as the situation allows.
