So you've decided you want to be a beast at support heals but you don't want to deal with the wasted deep tac talents and you don't want to spam cadence... you are not alone.  I give you the stratobard as seen on the rift forums.

You won't get much more beast than this heal spec for support healing.

 

Pro's-

Full raid heal with the following-

***Curative remote

***Motif of regeneration

10 person heal with the following-

***restorative engine and spamming Empyrean Bolt

***curative core

***passive hot with curative blast

5 person heal with Coda of Restoration

Still get all 3 of the Coda debuffs Jeopardy/Cowardice/Distress

10% raid damage buff every minute for 15 seconds with Power Core

Virtuoso for quick Reverberation stacks ramp up

Fanfare of Vigor and Power

Anthem of Competence (run speed) and Glory (Armor)

 

Con's-

No heavy single target heal

no fast combo point builder unless you weave one of your torrents with empyrean bolt

no Anthem of Power

no raid damage reduction

no raid mana/energy/power recovery

damage is weak- although this is a support heal spec designed to pump out ridiculous raid healing.  Asking a support to put out more dps is like asking McDonalds to stop making burgers. It's just not going to happen.  You are there to buff the raid and put out beast raid heals.

 

The rotation is very simple.  Load up all 3 motifs (regen, tenacity, bravery), put down curative core, put up curative remote on the target, get to 5 combo points via empyrean bolt spamming and then open with virtuoso if it's off cooldown and run all 3 of your coda debuffs.  From there just spam coda of wrath or restoration depending on what's needed. When you are at 1 second left on virtuoso pop your curative blast finisher.  Rinse and repeat via empyrean bolt spamming to 5 combo points and then finish with coda of restoration.  Your finishers you are going to weave between your coda of restoration (or debuff coda's if needed and healing is fine) and curative blast.  Make sure curative remote is up whenever it's off cooldown and same with your curative core.  Also, if you get behind on your rotation of finishers you may have to double up on coda of restoration to make sure your motifs stay stacked.  Having to refresh them sucks because that's 3 wasted global cooldowns vs. one.  If you do everything right and weave your abilities correctly you will be at max output for healing and will have about 3-4 seconds left on your motifs every other finisher where you would use yoru coda's.

 

While this build has a huge amount of raid little heals going on you'd be VERY surprised how much healing this can actually output.  I've had no problem pulling over 6-8k hps in a couple 5mans where the damage existed to actually do that much or the main healer was dead and it was me doing the only healing.  Best part is this spec is designed for raid healing, not 5mans.  You wanna beast it up?  Here ya go.

 

While this sounds like a lot of cooldowns to watch I simplified it greatly with some very very very easy macros.

 

My single target healing spam macro-

#show curative core

suppressmacrofailures

cast curative core

cast curative remote

cast empyrean bolt

 

My AoE dps + single target healing spam macro-

#show necrotic core

suppressmacrofailures

cast necrotic core

cast curative remote

cast empyrean bolt

 

My raid damage boost + single target healing spam macro-

#show power core

suppressmacrofailures

cast power core

cast curative remote

cast empyrean bolt
