- Divert Hexes for mass hex removal
- Healing Burst Big heal without conditions.
- Hex Removal
- Use Convert Hexes in areas with lots of necros, like The Black Curtain

- Healing
- Patient Spirit is a strong, cheap heal.
- Bring Dwayna's Sorrow and cast on allies, especially minions, for simple party-wide healing

Equipment[]
Armor
- Max Armor
- Survivor or Radiant insignias
- Attunement or Vitae runes
Weapons
- Insightful Healing Prayers/Divine Favor Staff of Enchanting

For optional skills, see descriptions and use correctly.
Counters[]
- Healing on this team does not handle spikes well
- Mass Blinding reduces effectiveness of physical players and minions, and it is tough to remove conditions from minions
- Energy denial on healers could neutralize healing ability of this group of builds
- Ressurection is relatively slow and weak, so deaths are tough to recover from
Team Variations[]
- These can replace either the physical A/R or P/W shouter
- If replacing P/W, make sure to bring Ebon Battle Standard of Courage instead of Comfort Animal

Notes[]
- High Ranks in Asura, Vanguard, and Allegiance Titles help
- Watch out for Aura of the Lich use, can hinder Wells Necro if it is used at wrong times
- AoE can nuke spirits and/or minions, but this should n't be a problem if spirits are spaced out
- Use of Consumables, both solo and team cons, will help a great deal
- Summoning stones, especially Shining Blade War Horns, will help
- All pets should be level 20, otherwise they are much less useful
- Ressurection skills can be worked into almost all of the players, but it is not recommended to add them to more than one or two players
- All physicals should have weapons dealing physical damage (obviously)
- Heros can be substituted for most of the players. They will not be as effective because they do not use skills as well and can not use PvE skills
