Holy Staff Healer Hellgate 2v2 Helm of Valor Build

From the author

*Budget version of this build is swapping to mercenary shoes, but both robes arguably equally useful* ### Skill Swaps (vs Heal/DPS) *In almost all situations you should run ascended passive if running Beam unless there is no interrupt or forced movement on enemy* * Frost Shield against most Ranged DPS - except: Use Purge against Curse running grudge, Purge against Druidic Robe and Purity Robe against Demonic * Use Purge on Robe if enemy DPS has clearly purgeable buffs: Claymore, Deadly Swipe (Q2) Dagger Pair, Druid Robe, Feyscale Robe * Against Heavy Crossbow - Pulse + Roll - Use pulse to interrupt sunder (or autofire if needed) and roll to dodge the Debuff, care not to purge your royal cowl using pulse * Axe - Pulse to keep distance unless this interferes with your DPS playstyle and Refreshing Sprint * 1h Curse - Pulse to try to interrupt E and Refreshing Sprint or Roll (if running cleanse pot roll may not be necessary) * Demonic - Beam and Refreshing Sprint * Rotcaller - Beam and Refreshing Sprint or Roll (E Debuff can be dodged with roll) * Dagger Pair - Blessing and After Image * Claymore - Blessing and After Image (After image can be used to dodge E if timed well) * One Shot Imp - Frost Shield, Pulse and Roll (uses pulse after pulled in and then dodge roll helm or use pulse to interrupt Hellfire Barrage) (use Roll against Polymorph to dodge transformation) ### Skill Swaps (Double DPS or One Shot) * Refreshing Sprint for most matchups, Roll or After Image can be good against Gloves * Beam against big damage where you expect them to go on DPS and you are running Refreshing Sprint * Blessing otherwise ### Potion Swaps * T7 Resistance Potion against Double DPS or One Shot where cleanse is not as useful and as default against Heal/DPS * T7 Cleanse pot as default and against One Shot that has a lot of stun - if you see royal helm or combinations like 1h Dagger and Staff of Balance or Grailseeker * T7 Cleanse pot against Heal/DPS 1h Curse, Rotcaller, or Hellfire Hands * T6 Energy Pot against Heal/DPS Purging builds - If DPS has fiend cowl or helm of valor or is running a weapon that can purge like daybreaker, lifecurse, 1h arcane
