User:Michael the Perfectionist-Pious Healer

This is a "just-for-fun" build that I created to see if the Dervish could actually serve as a decent healer.

Usage

 * Cast Mystic Regeneration, Vital Boon, and Vow of Piety before battle.

 * Use Mystic Healing when multiple party members are taking damage.
 * Recast Mystic Regeneration, Vital Boon, and Vow of Piety as they begin to expire.

Counters

 * Energy denial.
