In the story and on the track
Healers use Healing Energy to restore allies, remove harmful effects, or prevent damage. Their specializations split mitigation, sustained healing, and life drain. Healers learn a party through its habits. They know which teammate will overextend, which one hides a bad hit, and who will turn back to protect them. Defenders get there before the damage, Replenishers keep recovery moving through a long exchange, and Siphoners make an enemy's vitality part of the rescue. Their favorite match stories often begin with a health bar that everyone else had already given up on.
Resource rhythm
Healing Energy regenerates and pays for healing spells. Use the recovery rate and costs listed for the ability and game mode.
How it fits a build
Class and Spec each occupy one of the four core ability slots. Six stat slots complete the ten-ability layout. Class progression abilities are slot-free and level-gated; selecting a path does not automatically grant every alternative path. Costs, targets, timing, and access requirements still apply.
