*{{icon|Spotless Mind}} [[Spotless Mind@14] - When used properly, removes up to 3 hexes.
 
*{{icon|Vigorous Spirit}} [[Vigorous Spirit@14] - Decent party-wide healing. Can be maintained on both allies and self.
 
*{{icon|Guardian}} [[Guardian@9] - Great for low armored allies, particularly casters. Can be used to prevent 'linebacking'. Drop Divine Favor to 7+1 and put Protection Prayers up to 8+1
 
*{{icon|Mending Touch}} [[Mending Touch@2] - Removes two conditions from self; good synergy with [[Draw Conditions@2].
 
*{{icon|Signet of Rejuvenation}} [[Signet of Rejuvenation@14] - A powerful signet based heal. Helps with energy-management, as signets are free.
 
*{{icon|Holy Veil}} [[Holy Veil] - Can be used at the start of a match; preemptive hex removal.
 
*{{icon|Contemplation of Purity}} [[Contemplation of Purity@11] - Bar compression; decent conditional self-hex removal.

* Constantly auto-attack in your spear set (tab+spacebar) when not casting, to build adrenaline for [[gw:Bonetti's Defense|Bonetti's Defense]] and gain healing from [[gw:Vigorous Spirit|Vigorous Spirit]].
* Cast [[gw:Patient Spirit|PS]]/[[gw:Word of Healing|WoH]] to keep your team alive.
 
  +
* Cast [[gw:Word of Healing|Word of Healing]] on targets who are below 50% health or who you think are about to drop below 50%.
* Chain Bonetti's Defense (in conjunction with your second defensive utility), to mitigate physical damage from yourself as well as gain energy.
 
 
* Use [[gw:Patient Spirit|Patient Spirit]] when Word of Healing and Vigorous Spirit are simply not enough.
* Use Draw Conditions to keep your team clean.
 
  +
* Use [[gw:Bonetti's Defense|Bonetti's Defense]] to prevent physical damage and possibly even gain energy. You gain even use this to prevent Ranger interrupts. If it is charged and you don't seem to be needing it much to stop melee opponents, throw up a Bonetti's before casting WoH to help avoid a Distracting Shot from a Ranger.
* Use Cure Hex as both a small heal and hex removal.
 
  +
* Use [[gw:Dolyak Signet|Dolyak Signet]] to prevent key knockdowns and provide yourself with additional defense. You'll most want to use this when Bonetti's Defense isn't charged.
  +
* Use [[gw:Draw Conditions|Draw Conditions]] where necessary to remove conditions (again, prioritize to when and where it is most needed...take blind off your melee teammates and remove deep wound if it might kill someone, but don't spam Draw Conditions if your energy is pressured).
  +
* Use [[gw:Spotless Mind|Spotless Mind]] to keep your teammates clean of hexes. You do not need to cast this in your enchantment extending set unless you have weakness on you (it already lasts 15 seconds at 15 Healing, which is enough to remove exactly 3 hexes over time). You should cast it in your 40/40 heal set to get a quick recharge if you're trying to keep it on multiple teammates as much as possible and you should cast it in your spear+shield set if you're taking significant amounts of damage.
  +
* Use [[gw:Contemplation of Purity|Contemplation of Purity]] when you have [[gw:Vigorous Spirit|Vigorous Spirit]] and/or [[gw:Patient Spirit|Patient Spirit]] on yourself to remove hexes and conditions from yourself.

*If you decide that condition removal is not necessary, drop Draw Conditions for [[gw:Divine Spirit|Divine Spirit]], [[gw:Signet of Rejuvenation|Signet of Rejuvenation]], or [[gw:Guardian|Guardian]] (decrease your Divine Favor spec to 7+1 and increase Protection Prayers spec to 8+1 if bringing Guardian).

*[[gw:Cure Hex|Cure Hex]] and/or [[gw:Holy Veil|Holy Veil]] instead of Contemplation of Purity and/or Spotless Mind. [[gw:Deny Hexes|Deny Hexes]] is also an option if you're bringing Divine Spirit.
