Below are the remaining passive skills to invest your Hatchet Mastery points in
Recommended Armor
Aim for the heaviest gear possible because the 20% damage reduction from lighter armor doesn’t appear to apply to healing, so you might as well be a bit tanky.
This will also provide you additional stability from knockback effects and stuns which can be useful in both PvP and PvE.
Versatile Healer PvE Build
This is a build allows you to not only function as effective support but also as a PvE grinding machine. It’s very adaptable and utilizes the popular Life Staff and Ice Gauntlet combo.
You can enable allies to perform their best and be able to dish out damage when you’re not busy with support.

Below are the remaining passive masteries to focus on for the Ice Gauntlet if you are going with this healer build in New World
Recommended Armor
We chose the Light equip load for the gear. The mobility combined with a 20% increase in damage output is superior to full tanky heavy armor. FOC and INT are the qualities you should be searching for.
CON is not our first pick at this level (lvl 40), because it doesn’t make much of a difference when you’re continuously casting healing spells on yourself or your squad while avoiding income assaults.
When the monsters zero in on you and you’re on the point of dying, Entombed comes to your rescue, allowing you time to call for aid or recover beneath your auras, as previously indicated.
