    Heaven's wrath has rather limited uses, basically you can use it whenever there's a second cleric around that can keep the squad/tank healed, then you can use it to boost the damage of the squad. Also in the occasion where you can stop healing and DD, using heaven's wrath can result in the squad dealing more damage overall than you spamming wield/cyclone/plume (assuming you're in a full squad).

    Regeneration aura is a very important skill. Basically you should use it at every boss that AoE's, with exception of those that have a skill interrupt effect. It's also good to use in emergencies where somebody pulls too much aggro resulting in like 5 mobs attacking all over the place.

    Just a few friendly pointers building off what Nowitsawn said:

    Heaven's Wrath (commonly referred to as RB) becomes even more limited after 89 with demons in the squad since the attack rate increase over-rides demon spark. Some people don't care, but others do. Just ask the squad beforehand.

    Regeneration aura (commonly referred to as BB) should NEVER be used if the boss debuffs the tank. I do not like the rule: if it's an aoe, use BB. Squad healing is sometimes sufficient. With experience, you'll determine for yourself what is most expedient and efficient.

    Ah yes indeed. Although RB only gives 5% less attack speed it last as long as the cleric wants, as opposed to demon sparks which can be rather limited (with the exception of sins and people with godly attacks/sec) aswell as an increase in attack. But it's always best to ask beforehand I suppose.

    Forgot to mention that, but indeed.

    Some exceptions, if it's just tiny debuffs, such as General Feng's debuff in 2-3, then BB is allowed.

    But if it's the debuffs in Wraithgate, then there should be absolutely no BB unless there are two clerics.

    Pole and Guarnob both have aoes that interrupt BB. It is much more prudent to just IH/purify the tank and use chromatic to heal the squad when necessary.

    BB is going to be your best friend in BH when people slip up and pull 50 mobs your way.

    RB is only a second hand skill which should only be used if there is another cleric present.
    RB speeds up killing bosses, and it is usually asked for in TT runs because nobody wants to spend 5 hours killing a boss.

    P.S. I'm taking it that you're around lvl 60. Do not invest money in Tempest!
    You will never have a need to use this skill because you are a healer, not a DD.

    Don't BB when a melee is trying to kill a ranged mob. It roots you in place, and either the melee dude is going to go out of the range, or he's going to keep running back to be in range - which is not efficient. Keep in mind that BB also aggros.

    Keep in mind when Using BB that someone pulling 50 mobs(most likely exaggeration), is NOT always a bad thingb:chuckle

    If you decide to go group AOE grinding or just with one other person(BM recommended), then pop that bubble sit back and watch your XP, spirit and coin Skyrocket.b:victory
