[edit] Usage

Cast and renew Vigorous Spirit on your teammates in the following order:
- Assasins, they benefit the most from Vigorous Spirit, average healing rate: ~210HP/10s.
- Warriors, ~150HP/10s (axe/sword).
- Casters/Rangers, ~50-100HP/10s.
Keep Vigorous Spirit on yourself all the time and attack with your spear to heal yourself and to charge Bonetti's Defense. Vigorous Spirit is also your sacrificial ennchanment for hex removal, recast it immediately after Contemplation of Purity. (Use your Scythe when you are surrounded: max 340 HP/10s.)
When you are under strong pressure Vigorous Spirit/Shield of Absorption/Healing Hands will give you (or a teammate) nearly perfect protection for 12s. If Healing Hands is recharging, use Bonetti's Defense and keep Vigorous Spirit/Shield of Absorption up. You can maintain this cycle indefinitely.
Spam Dwayna's Kiss (and Dismiss Condition if needed) to heal teammates (make sure they have Vigorous Spirit on them), and protect them with Healing Hands and/or Shield of Absorption against spikes.
You heal as you attack, you are safe under your enchantments and you need adrenaline to activate Bonetti's Defense, so DO NOT kite unless it is absolutely necessary.
Energy Management:
- Bonetti's Defense. Activate Bonetti in close combat.
- Use your zealous weapons whenever you have a chance to do so. Since you "heal" mainly with enchantments, you should have relatively long (5-10s) periods when you can attack undisturbed. The zealous attack can increase your energy regeneration by only 5-15%, therefore do not use it unless you have difficulties getting energy with bonetti (i.e. no melee attack).
