Virtues : Virtues is good when you need to spam more utilities with Consecration Skills (Wall, Stab field,..)  and with F3 tome (The bubble, the resistance field ...). For example fractals with a lot of enemies and projectiles,  flaming missiles, or for Chaos endboss when you want to easily loop stab.   The extra Battle Presence regen is huge bonus but the whole traitlane is not worth it only for this effect.

 

Radiance : Bane signet + Perfect inscription (+Wrath of justice); you have a strong CC + it gives +216 power to your allies. It's just perfect for defiance to give an enormous burst while boss weakened. Even stronger in condi groups as you'll give almost permanent +216 condi damage.  When you know bosses and estimated group DPS, you can spam the signet even if there is no defiance bar.

Take the traitlane with more experienced players; when they still want a support/healer but there is no big hazard, no need for F3/Consecrations.

 

If you need healing, but no wall/bubble, no stab, no purging flame etc :just use "Pure of Heart" in Honor traitlane  (+writ of persistence but it should already be on)+ skill bow of trut/merciful intervention/"hold ht line"/"retreat"  and keep Radiance + Bane Signet as much as possible.

Axe is the flat weapon, for Fury, grasp/CC; but you can take mace if you need more regen + the group block.

 

As you'll spam light fields everytime + everyone will spam their own field it's a bit hard to zone water fields and combos.

Otherwise ;

Use F1 #4 for fire field at the mistlock singularity for might combos ; + #5 for small dps buff.

Use your staff #2 in light field to cleanse conditions. F2 #4 + #5 +  whatever for big heal burst.

Try to not overlap aegis in group with mantra of solace outside your skills rotation. Remember it doesn't heal allies, it just give aegis that can heal if removed ...

Don't spam skills #1 with tomes like the angry german kid  "MUST HIT BUTTONS" : use your desired skills then wait for them to recharge ; for example to chain bubbles from tome 3 or the swiftness  from tome 2 etc.
