Depeding on our role we will take r1/r2/r3 Master of Aspects on the talent tree.The activated Aspect buff will determine our role and how we generate our fanaticism stacks (fanaticism is being used for instant cast heal or damaging spells).




The first rank is Aspect of Light, needed for a caster healer(ranged dps).As a caster healer we will use a shield since we loose no dps,(except if we run out of mana, mana pots will be needed there a lot) but gain survivability, magical dmg we do only and that comes from wand.Chosing caster healer for second spec is also good for practical reasons: you share gear with full-heal spec so you wont need to upgrade a 2 handed weapon unlike if you spec melee and Nobility Relics are also used by both caster and fullhealer.Most importantly being ranged as dps is only a good thing: you can avoid bosses melee hits in astral or you can get in a big enough range in pvp where fewer opponents can reach you.

Basics for ranged dps:
Aspect of Light will increase damage of light we do by 10%(this is not shown in our version).
Most importantly it gives casting interruption immunity and the chance to generate fanaticism by using Holy Blast/Celestial blast spammable skills on the target.The gained fanaticism effect will be used on single target holy damage skill(Particle of Light) or on up to 5 target aoe skill(Chain of Light)but also can be used for Holy Healing spell(1min cooldown in this aspect).
Now that Thunderer rubies give fanaticism our DPS has improved. Combined with Blessed Resolution rubies we can reduce cooldown of Heavenly Smite with each Celestial/Holy Blast cast and further gain fanaticism this way since Heavenly Smite is being used more frequently.




Few builds:

Caster PVE DPS:


Simple built, for astral and PVE raids.Rubies for increased dmg on mana users can be taken but i didnt feel to drop Vitality rubies.
As for DPS rotation I dont think a lot of explanation needed except now with 6.0 we can use Heavenly Smite to gain more fanaticism for PoL/CoL.

For stats:
Keep proficiency same as brutality unless the boss is only hard under 50%, then brutality should be used more.If the whole raid/party takes dmg in the whole fight then determination should be used, this is above an average of 65% determination level to be worth it.Our determination rubies will be useful most of the fights.

For defensive stats:-Willpower not used ,it takes too many points to be effective too
-Tenacity around 15 and above for current sectors to prevent or delay wound complexity and not put more pressure on healers, stat will be
useless in PVE raids like Eclipse and Ferris.
-Bloodlust can be useful too, especially in PVE raid where we dont need the stats above so we can get this stat as side stat easily
-Vitality should be highest, will allow us to take bigger hits without dieing from 1-2




Raid PVP DPS:


Explanations: Particle of Light rubies i didnt take since can aoe most of the time, Chain of Light can even get more focused dmg on main target if theres one other target near enough(chain will hit main target more than once).Particle of Light in some cases even worse since it takes time to reach target and thats not a good thing when you want to catch someone with low hp, they might get healed in that time.I still took Particle of Light for slow effect and for picking a single target.Blaze of Faith rubies I also skipped there, cleasing flame will consume too much mana to put on many targets.Later as we upgrade weapon we can take those rubies maybe for more focused damage.
Range rubies of course are taken, this will actually allow so long distance to dps from it helps survival since less classes will reach you from 55 yards.Burst will happen mostly aoe, precast Heavenly Smite to deliver dmg as fast as possible, as much as possible. Smite will be best to use after releasing 3 Chains of Light then after its use we receive 3 more Fanaticism to Chain of Light the knocked down targets(they get kd from Smite).
This is a built I use in aod, since its start of the season I had to take the mana rubies at least until we get new weapons(no mana, need retreat=less effectiveness)

For stats:
Proficiency I like to keep above brutality as targets are being healed.Determination can be a good one, but since we take range rubies we should be far to avoid damage(but if you know you will need to get close in the fights anyway then this stat better than the rest since we take more dmg)

For defensive stats: -40 Willpower and above
-Bloodlust can be useful if we are running Aura of Potency and we do a lot of AoE what should get us healed a bit
-Tenacity will depend on the opponents, will need it higher if we are facing a bigger guild with Anger rubies taken in dominion raid(can be above 20)
-Vitality higher to not get 1 shotted

Brilliant faith i skipped there, while its aoe its only a smaller heal, not focused and there are better rubies to take.Willpower rubies also skipped since willpower is not that important in PVE and it also takes a lot more than 8 willpower for the stat to be effective and worth investigate in.I also took our new long term cc skill Paralysis, rubies that prevent its breaking i found too many to spend.
Note: Dazzling can be useful there.

Stats:I like to keep Proficiency and Brutality around the same or go for more Brutality(especially when solo healing tank with wound complexity, there sometimes doesn't matter how much we spam heals, the tank's hp will go down anyway under 50% where brutality is the most effective).Determination will be 9 from our rubies in most cases.

For defensive:Ignore Bloodlust, other stats will be more important and the stat isnt effective when using healing spells(only good for side stat from special glyphs in PVE RAIDS).Willpower will be useless too.
-Around 20 Tenacity and above
-Vitalityshould be highest by far






Inevitable Punishment rubies are taken there, with the new Smite crit rubies its nice getting some bigger crits in pvp for support dmg, the same rubies will also prevent Heavenly Smite's interruption what is useful in pvp and needed so when can get those instant cast Holy Healings easier, Chain of Light dmg also increased by this ruby, Chain of Light being taken rank 2 for cases we can afford to use extra fanaticism to help kill or solo kill opponents.

Stats:Difference compared to PVE stats is that we can use Determination a bit to boost our heals when receiving dmg.Downside of the stat of course we do less heal when taking no dmg but it will boost our survival.I would say the amount will depend on your runes and gear, as you can afford this stat higher without losing too much support heal on others, but of course if you know you will be focused more then put more points there.9 from rubies and 10 from stat points will be safe.

For defensive: 0 bloodlust, 50+ Willpower, 15-30 Tenacity and the rest into Vitality

Here I decided to drop Power of Faith rubies since targets will run away anyway and we dont need that -20% cooldown time on Anathema, we will also get cced between 2 Anathemas in pvp as well our rotation will allow to use other spell between those 2 hits(Holy Rage/PoL/CoL) or for example: Celestial Light taken we can also cast this heal between the 2 Anathemas since the casting animation takes some time anyway.
We can use precast Smite hit followed by a Holy Rage then 2 PoL/CoLs and get our second Holy Rage hit, this way we can deliver more damage in a shorter time(Providence will further increase this burst).



For stats:
Determination will be a useful one here, boosting our self heals and get a nice timing with Heavenly Smite and other bursts there.We will definitely take a lot of dmg in PVP since we go in melee range and and we are an easier to take down target in this spec.

For defensive stats:
-Willpower 40+
-Tenacity around 15
-Bloodlust:personally I dont like, in this built we did take heals anyway and we need Vitality instead badly
-Vitality should be highest

Thank you!

Also constructive criticism is welcome!
Share your ruby choices and preferences here as we did get a lot of new rubies, sadly we cannot take them all

Quoted from "bakokangsalangit"

1. why only r2 anathema in your pvp build? shouldn't it be r3 for optimal dps since it is used often?
2. divine prayer, is this insta cast on melee aspect?

Hi!

-Theres only a minimal difference in dmg and heal on a lot of skills 2nd and 3rd rank so I did keep in mind cooldown bonuses there :p.The build does not include legend talent scroll and focusing on self heals a lot with Celestial Light taken.I feel like we do need a lot of heals there since we take a lot of dmg.And even with heals to be honest Melee Healer is not too viable for serious pvp since with 2 handed weapon we can get 1-2 shotted in the current patch easily.This build is expected to work much better in patch 6.0.1 when less classes will be able to 1-2 shot players(part of big hits being transferred into dots, so celestial light should let us heal them a bit).

-Divine prayer has a cast time sadly, but can be used with bubble or casted when we cc the opponent. I also find it useful after leaving a fight, dots running on us so instead of dieing from them we can heal up with if we stuck in combat.In witchs hollow for example we can even hide behind a pillar until we cast it

Edited with stats!
