What Makes Chanter Special

The Chanter is not a pure healer, nor strictly a DPS class — it’s truly a hybrid support melee fighter. You carry a staff as your primary weapon, enabling both offensive combos and supporting buffs that affect your whole team. This flexible identity lets you participate in combat while also bolstering allies with aura‑like buffs that endure through fights after casting.

Chanter strengths include:

  • Strong party buffs (Mantras) that boost attack, crit, defense, movement, and sustain.

  • AoE heals and regeneration zones that protect allies over time.

  • Decent melee damage and control skills for engaging enemies.

  • High utility in group play for both PvE and PvP.

Weaknesses typically revolve around lower raw burst healing compared to pure healers and DPS that doesn’t fully match pure DPS classes — but your overall contribution through buffs and sustained support makes up for it.

Core Concepts: Mantras and Buffs

At the heart of every Chanter build are Mantras — persistent buffs that grant powerful advantages for you and your allies. You want to keep these active virtually all the time, especially when participating in party content or PvP engagements.

Core Mantras

  • Mantra of Valor — increases attack, defense, crit, and damage mitigation. A staple buff you should keep running constantly.

  • Speed Mantra — enhances movement speed, stamina recovery, and crowd control resistance — hugely valuable in both PvE and PvP.

  • Healing Mantra — provides passive sustain by healing allies when they take damage. Best in longer fights or dungeon waves.

  • Power of the Storm — optional offensive buff replacing Healing Mantra in aggressive builds such as PvP to increase party damage and crit output.

Mantra Strategy:

  • In PvE dungeons, keep Valor + Speed + Healing mantras rolling.

  • In PvP or burst builds, swap Healing Mantra for Power of the Storm to improve offensive pressure.

Build Types & Skill Choices

Choose your build based on what content you play most — leveling, group PvE, or PvP. Below are expanded build outlines with playstyle and rotation suggestions.

Solo / Leveling Build

This build lets you handle quests, open world zones, and solo encounters without a group.

Focus: Balanced damage output with sustain Mantras: Valor, Speed, Healing

Skills to prioritize:

  • Strike Chain — engage enemies with a stun and build pressure.

  • Ascendant Strike — cleave multiple targets while bouncing around the field for quick clears.

  • Healing Wave / Regeneration Zone — heals and sustain to keep you alive mid‑fight.

Playstyle & Rotation:

  1. Activate your mantras before engaging.

  2. Pull with Strike Chain to stun and open.

  3. Follow with Ascendant Strike and spin through small enemies.

  4. Drop Regeneration Zone under your feet when surrounded.

  5. Repeat until the encounter is clear.

This setup keeps you hardy, mobile, and able to tackle packs of enemies or elite mobs without heavy risk.

PvE / Dungeon Group Support Build

In group PvE and dungeons, your primary role shifts to supporting allies while still contributing damage and control.

Focus: Buff uptime, AoE heals, and group sustainability Mantras: Valor, Speed, Healing

Important supportive skills:

  • Regeneration Zone — droppable AoE sustain for allies.

  • AoE Healing skills — area heals to counter incoming damage.

  • Knockdown/Bind/CC — keep enemy adds under control.

Playstyle:

  • Stay near your tank so your mantras and heals benefit the entire party.

  • Time your AoE heals when incoming damage spikes.

  • Use CC skills to handle add waves or mob control.

The goal isn’t to out‑heal a dedicated Cleric, but to provide enduring sustain and party power boosts that make encounters smoother.

PvP / Frontline Disruptor Build

In PvP, you act as a control bruiser, blending mobility, buffs, and disruption to tilt fights in your team’s favor.

Focus: Mobility, control, disruption Mantras: Valor, Speed, Power of the Storm

Recommended combat skills:

  • Stun Chain and Knockdown rotations — to lock down key targets.

  • Speed buffs — to control positioning and chase.

  • Regeneration Zone — sustain for you and nearby allies.

Playstyle Tips:

  • Dash into fights with disruptive combos, using CC to interrupt enemy rotations.

  • Keep your team buffed and repositioned quickly to switch between offense and defense.

  • Don’t overcommit — your role thrives on peeling for teammates as much as engaging enemies.

Gear & Stat Priorities

Building the right set of gear and investing stat points wisely is crucial to maximizing your Chanter’s effectiveness. Focus on what benefits your primary role.

Priority Stats by Build

  • Solo: HP, Physical Attack, Crit, Mana/Stamina Regen.

  • PvE Support: Healing Power, Mana Regen, Defense, HP.

  • PvP: HP, PvP Defense/Resistances, Crit, Attack.

General Tips:

  • You’re often in the middle of fights; survivability matters.

  • For support builds, gear that enhances healing effectiveness and mana regen keeps mantras and heals up longer.

  • Prioritize movement and resistance stats in PvP to outmaneuver opponents and survive their burst.

Tips to Master Your Chanter

Positioning: Always fight where your mantras and heals benefit allies — distance matters less than proximity.

Skill Management: Know your rotation for the build you choose, and don’t panic heal — place regen zones strategically instead of spamming single heals.
