Healer

The Healer is a class that citizens of Habitica can select when they reach level 10. 

Healers have a high defense against damage and gain experience and mana quickly. Their skills allow them to heal themselves and other players in their party, provide their party with a defense buff, and reduce the redness of tasks to reduce the amount of damage the tasks deal to them. They are valuable allies to have to boost health in battles against strong bosses.

BenefitsEdit

• Healers specialize in the Constitution attribute, which reduces the damage they take from missed Dailies and negative Habits. This may be useful to players who have many challenging Dailies, or who frequently indulge bad habits.
• Healers don't deal much damage in boss battles, but they can play an invaluable role in keeping other party members alive. While the Healer's Constitution buffing skill (Protective Aura) does not defend the party against boss damage, Healers can help prevent death by:
  • Restoring their own and party members' health points using the Blessing skill
  • Buffing their own and party members' Constitution, which reduces additional damage taken from a player's own missed Dailies and negative Habits
• The Searing Brightness skill allows Healers to reduce the redness of their non-challenge tasks, further reducing the damage they take from uncompleted Dailies.

The Healer is a forgiving class that is good for people and parties who have difficulty with their Dailies and Habits. If a player doesn't want to focus on dealing damage, they can become a Healer instead and focus on supporting themselves and their parties during battle.

SkillsEdit

• Consult the Skills and Buff pages for more information on how skills and buffs work.
• All skills' effects are based on the caster's attributes at the time of casting, not on the attributes of other party members.
• Some skills are also affected by the value of the task they are cast on.
• Some skills adjust the value of the task they are cast on. They have no ongoing effect on the task.
• Skills never mark a task as complete. You do not have to complete a task before or after casting a skill on it. You can cast a skill on a complete or incomplete task.
• All skills that buff the party also buff the caster, unless stated otherwise.
• Buffs are applied immediately and persist until each party member's next Cron.
• Skills do not affect quests, unless stated otherwise.
• Consult the "Skills and Buffs" section in the User Data Display Tool to learn more about the precise effect each skill will have when you cast it.
