TRAITS

There are 5 traits I use all the time for all situations and they are -

-Life Singer - + 10% chance to critical heals
-Silver Tongue - + 25% healing for critical heals
-Ip Raise the Spirit - -1.5 sec casting time -50% cool down +10% RtS healing
-Focused Performance - -10% induction for all skills
-Enduring morale - +343 morale

The last trait I use depends on the situation.
if its a big Ra Vs Ra (12+) Graceful Demeanor - +20% health on revival +30% power -2s induction
This is useful for sneaking out of combat to cast a quicker ore efficient AoE rez.
If it is a smaller Ra Vs Ra I will trait Imp Song of Soothing - Removes induction time and +10 yrd range
This is useful for the Minstrel's moors crafting relic that adds -10% AoE inc healing debuff to Song of Soothing.

STATS AND GEAR

It's important to have a high morale and capped migrations as you will often be focused early on and the longer you can stay up, the better.

Use morale virtues Zeal and Valor. Remember to factor in the stats needed for capped migrations AFTER buffs (scrolls, cappy buff, etc). This will leave you with more opportunity to use morale gear over mitigation gear.

The single most important legacy for your LI is the Still as Death one which reduces the cool down from 5 to 3 minutes.
This will let you often flop twice in one battle.

5 set bonus from Resolve set is amazing as it makes Soliloquy of Spirit remove 1 disease, fear, wound, or poison every 2s for 10s. This will keep you free of debuffs.

STRATEGY

Starting the fight - Stack 3x major ballads ASAP. This will give +21% outgoing healing. After this apply Soliloquy of Spirit on your self. SoS should primarily be used on yourself and always be on cool down because it will keep you free of debuffs like the warg's silencing fear.

When getting focused - Don't just stand there. Kite and then kite some more. You will take a lot less dmg doing this. Use a LM's tar to help when possible.


SKILLS

Still as Death - The best time to use this is when you are getting focused and you can't kite anymore without dying. Don't wait too late to flop. Flop around 40% morale to make sure you won't bleed out from DoTs as you are playing dead.

Anthem of Composure - This is an amazing power restoring skill that should be used when running low on power and used all the time against many defiler's flies.

Rally - Long cool down on this one, so don't waste it. Priority for rez is Cappy>Healer>TA>DPS

Fellowship's Heart - Use this early on in the fight when 2 or more people are taking heavy dmg.




i hope some of you can get some use out of this. I will add more as I think of them.
