DESIGN

INTRODUCTION

Using Holy Nova to deal damage and heal while blocking damage with a shield, this build is quite sturdy when tanking a large group of enemies. It's main focus is to AoE grind for experience, grouping mobs before blowing them up with a combination of Magma Totem, Fire Nova, and Holy Nova spam. As you spam Holy Nova, you main ability to replenish mana is the use of Shield Block and Blessing of Sancturary as every time you block you will reieve mana, later down the road at level 45 you will reieve passive mana replenish when you kill targets making mana sustain not an issue.

RANDOM ENCHANTS

Since this is a leveling build, random enchants are not important, however if you want to preform the best, acquiring some random enchants will help.

Depending on what you want to focus on, Grinding, Tanking, Healing, or DPS, the choice of random enchants are listed below.

LETS TALK ABOUT STATS

For leveling your primary stat is simply Intellect and secondary being Stamina to be a bit more tanky for large mob pulls. You can allocate all stats into Intellect which will provide Spell Crit, Higher mana Pool, and Spell Power at higher levels (depending on your choice of talents), keep in mind that you may need to allocate a bit into Stamina if you find yourself struggling to tank.

Priority Stats: Intellect > Stamina > Crit Rating > Spell Power (Early Levels) Priority Stats: Stamina > Intellect > Defense Rating > Spell Power (Tanking) Priority Stats: Intellect > Spell Power > Crit Rating > Stamina (Healing) Priority Stats: Spell Power > Intellect > Crit Rating (DPS)

GEARING UP

This build is slightly gear dependant but the gear required is easily obtainable, simply needing equipment that has Intellect or Stamina while you allocating stats to either depending on what your lacking.

Mail Armor while you are under level 40, then wear Plate while your over level 40 would be ideal for the extra armor, reducing damage. If you plan on building more into DPS or Healing, it is okay to wear Cloth if it provides better beneficial stats such as spell power.

WEAPON

Early levels, it doesnt matter what weapon you use. I would reccomend using a one-handed weapon that provide beneficial stats such as Intellect, Stamina, Crit Rating, or Spell Power and a shield.

ABILITIES

Starting at level 30 you practically have every ability required for this build to work. Past level 30, you can focus more onto Tanking, Healing, or DPS, with the selection provides in the - Your Choice- category.

TALENTS

Your choice of talents focuses on both survivability, sustain, and damage. At the start of level 30, you will rely on Clearcasting for Holy Nova spam and shield blocking for mana gain. At level 45 this build becomes a whole nother "beast" when it comes to sustain as killing enemies will grant a large amount of mana regenation from both Rapid Recuperation and Spirit Tap with better survivability from both Redoubt and Holy Shield. In away, you become an unkillable god.

- YOUR CHOICE -

Past level 30 you'll notice that the rest of the build is up to you and how you would like to build it. The choice below is categorized based on Tanking, Healing, or DPS, depending on what you would like to focus more on, the selection of choices are viable.
