1. Situation:
2.  
3. Barbarian asks why lvl 2 heals only. Lvl 51 conjurer replies that he can't
4. have higher level heals because he needs enough spells to defend himself.
5.  
6. This is the setup of lvl 51 conj: https://www.regnumsentinel.com/en/tawb
7.  
8. The following is an attempt to analyze the setup in question. Make comments
9. about problematic moments and give suggestions for improvement. Important:
10. everything below is my personal point of view and should not be taken as
11. absolute truth. There are many approaches to build skill setups, there are
12. many people practicing different playstyles.
13.  
14. General thoughts
15. ----------------
16.  
17. A support conjurer, especially one that did not reach max lvl yet, has to make
18. choices. Even more choices than a max lvl one, because he has fewer points
19. to spend on skills. I have always been a strong believer in the idea that
20. it's better to do few things well than more things not very well. In context
21. of regnum this means that a conjurer (actually, any class) needs to set
22. priorities and specialize when building a skill setup.
23.  
24. List of priorities (in descending order):
25.  
26. 1. Stay alive. The lvl 51 conjurer was absolutely right when he said he needs
27. skills to protect himself first. A dead conjurer can't provide any support.
28. 2. Heal allies. Healing allies is the most important kind of support a conjurer
29. provides. That is why every lvl 50+ support conjurer must try to maximize
30. spells that heal allies. Even at the expense of not having points for other
31. useful things. Healing has highest priority, because if ally dies, the conjurer
32. can't provide any different kind of support to said ally (for example dispell
33. or buffs).
34. 3. Dispells. This is the next most important thing after heals. Useful because
35. dispell has much lower cooldown than many highly offensive enemy spells. A good
36. rule for Dispell is that during a many vs many fight it always must be on
37. cooldown (as in - use it as soon as you can). This way a single dispell
38. spamming conjurer can keep a lot of enemy spells on cooldown. Yet dispell has
39. a slightly lower priority compared to heals, because knights can dispell allies
40. too. Yet a level 50+ conjurer has enough discipline points to get dispell.
41. 4. Ally buffs. Great for supporting grinders, lower priority in war (just
42. because heals and dispells are more important. This is mostly about buffs from
43. Enchantments tree. There is a very distinct ally support buff from Life tree,
44. that is Divine Intervention. It is a must to have for any conjurer, at max
45. level, because two conjurers using DI on eachother increase their effectivity
46. *GREATLY*. When there's no second conjurer, DI can be used on the tanking ally.
47. Or on Guard Captan (but that's just mean on Haven :D).
48.  
49. Areas versus single target spells
50. ---------------------------------
51.  
52. For big groups, areas are generally better. But they are lower down in the
53. skill trees. And using areas requires the conjurer to be closer to the allies.
54. That is why it's a good idea for lvl 50+ conjurers to focus on single target
55. support spells and stay behind, where it's safer. Lvl 60 conjurers can focus
56. on areas more.
57.  
58. A better setup for a lvl 51 support conjurer

63. Comments on spell choice:
64.  
65. - Level 5 spells from Mana Control tree are obvious. Level 1 Synergy Bond is
66. enough for spamming small bits of mana to annoying barbarians, because it has
67. very low cooldown.
68. - For defense Steel Skin 5. No Karma Mirror just because there are not enough
69. points for that at lvl 50. And a conjurer still needs to be able to take a lot
70. of damage to make good use of Karma Mirror. That is a great spell, but is for
71. max level. Sanctuary just level 1 because that is enough to go out of a fort
72. and revive somebody at door then run back inside.
73. - Material Wall 5 just because it makes any ally conjurer, barbarian or knight
74. much stronger
75. - Dispell 5 just because it has low cooldown and 100% success rate. And can
76. be used for self dispells as well, as long as the conjurer is not
77. dizzy/confused.
78. - Divine Intervention 5. Reasons mentioned above.
79. - Heal Ally, Regenerate Ally, Life Savior lvl 5. Reasons mentioned above:
80. maxed single target heals.
81. - Resurrect 5 just because at level 5 it gives sanctuary to the revived ally
82. - Heal Self 5, Regenerate Self 3 (because no more power points :D). Anyway,
83. Heal Self will be the main heal spell to gain life taken by enemies, while
84. Regenerate Self is mostly for gain life taken by lvl 5 Ambitious Sacrifice.
