DPS Healer Hybrid


Last updated: Update 48 - 1st December 2025

This Healer/DPS hybrid build is designed for safely queueing with random teammates in Veteran Dungeons. It maintains around 25k HPS while providing the most important healer buffs, reaches 61k DPS on a trial dummy while actively healing, and goes up to 80k DPS when not casting heals.


It’s made for Veteran Dungeon random queues and can handle most Hard Modes, even though for some of them a proper healer build would've been more convenient.
