 * Replace Flesh of My Flesh with Death Pact Signet if desired.

Equipment

 * Survivor Insignias are recommended.

 * Runes of Superior Vigor, Minor Restoration Magic, Minor Spawning Power, Minor Channeling Magic, and Vitae.


 * An Insightful Restoration Staff of Fortitude with n "Aptitude not Attitude" inscription works well.
 * A 15/-1 wand and a 15/-1 focus on switch for quick energy.

Usage

 * Cast Bloodsong, ideally in a location that is inconvenient for the opposing team but where its attacks can still hit them.
 * Spam Weapon of Remedy and Vengeful weapon on teammates getting attacked.
 * Use Mend Body and Soul and Spirit Light to heal teammates who are not being actively attacked.
 * Use Essence Strike as much as possible to maintain energy. Make sure you are within earshot of a spirit (not necessarily your own).
 * Use Ancestor's Rage to add some damage to your frontline, when heavy healing is not required. Great for finishing off opponents.

Counters

 * Knockdown.
 * Heavy Spiking.
 * Anti-caster hexes.

Variants

 * Replace Ancestor's Rage with Warmonger's Weapon for some interruption. Be aware of your energy if you do this, because Warmonger's costs 10.

 * Replace Ancestor's Rage with Balanced Stance to counter knockdown, and move points from Spawning Power to Tactics.
 * Monk secondary.
 * Replace Ancestor's Rage with Holy Veil, Remove Hex or Cure Hex.
