Hands of Healing

It has been said that the hands of a healer are the hands of a king.

(This is the point in the Dev Diary when Danger Dan goads Tens to make an Elvis reference. But Tens’ will is too strong for that sort of nonsense. . . . :P)

While the Captain is currently one of the strongest secondary healing classes in the games, the Hands of Healing Trait Set is intended to push a healing Captain towards a more primary role.

Traits in the Set:

This Trait Set includes Captain’s Hope and Fear No Darkness. New for Moria, the Strength from Within Trait will add a self heal to Muster Courage and, as a trade-off, will prevent you from summoning Heralds and Archers when it is equipped – but Standards are still available to you. You are the number one buffer, after all.

Strength from Within makes the Standard-wielding Captain sturdier, compensating for the additional healing you would otherwise have access to from your Herald with a new ability to heal yourself.

Trait Set Bonuses:

The bonuses for the Hands of Healing focus on reducing the power costs associated with your healing skills while increasing both your Vocal and Melee healing abilities.

Capstone Skill: Valiant Strike

Valiant Strike is a strong melee attack that instantly heals all of your fellowship members around you. I know . . . you’ve all been asking for this for a while. ;)

Legendary Capstone Trait: Hands of a Healer

The Hands of Healing Legendary Trait reduces the cooldown of Valiant Strike, grants it a potent heal over time effect, and increases the effectiveness of all of your healing abilities across the board.
