DOK - how to play a DOK healer ?

[v1p4]

Hello together,

iam really unsure how to play my DOK healer.
At the moment I play only my healskills from the back. But, that feels so unstatisfied cause 90% of my other skills are not used.

Or is it better to play DOK as melee ?
For that Iam pretty unsure if melee skills can heal a group(?). And switching in the heat of the battle from melee skills to pure heal skill seems not god in my opinion.

Please share your experience and thoughts.
kind regards

Try playing midfield. Don't make the mistake of trying to dive in with the tanks, at least not initially. That is a quick way to die. Pick you times. Generally when one or two members of order begins to cross lines is when I engage.

It is a hard class to master. Keep with it though if it appeals to you. Don't give up.

for chalice its just lash, cleanse, aoe heal rot, repeat. lash has a bigger range than you think, use city target dummies to gauge it. if a ranged is focusing you, detaunt them and avoid hitting them with lash. if melee dives you run towards your tank and hope they're paying attention

What's AOE heal rot?

You don't really have rotations in RoR, keep hots up and resource over 0, use the ST ap heal on focused targets. Possibly channel the refreshment thing if you think you can risk getting closer to the fight.
