This playstyle encourages you to heal as much as possible to damage as much as possible. I have two builds: One for Cherish and one for Solar Blessing.

Pro Tips:

1. Wings of Wrath is very good to reposition yourself to get in LOS with your flanks/DMGs as well as an evasive

2. Don't be afraid to use your Ult. Don't hold it for the perfect moment. My rule of thumb is if there's less than 30 seconds on the clock, save it for the next round unless you notice a comeback coming. Otherwise, show em no mercy. Make sure the majority of your team is alive to benefit from it. Keep in mind you can't heal while going into your Ult, so use it at the start of an encounter.

Notes

This build is (was) designed to chug out tons of heals and abusing your passive to do most of your damage with your pyre blade. Spam Kindle Soul to keep your Wrath up. Fire your inhand and Pyre Beam at the point constantly. Use Wings of Wrath as an escape, OR to quickly reposition yourself to get a heal on a flank. Constantly healing will keep your ammo up so you can non-stop fire. Chronos keeps your cooldowns low, Kill to Heal helps you stay alive. Other than that, you can choose whatever items you want. Morale Boost is always good, Nimble is solid, same with Haven.

This was my main build before 5.7 and the Cherish/Kindle Soul nerf. I think it could still work, and I hope it comes back, but I got another version reworked for the Solar Blessing meta.

Very similar to the other one. Chug out heals so you can chug out damage. I had to sacrifice some ammo recharge to buff Pyre Beam so it's more viable. You can do one of three things with this build:

1. Position yourself near the point, Kindle Soul tf out of your tank, Pyre Beam the flanks out of your sightlines.
2. Position yourself near the flanks, Kindle Soul the flanks, Pyre Beam the tank out of your sightline.
3. Fully focus all your heals on one group (Situational)

The only issue with number 2 is that you're not helping the tank keep up damage on the point. Swap between the three mentalities as the match goes on. Flanks shooting into the enemy's spawn? Don't worry about em. No enemies near the point? Help the squishies. Seven enemies surrounding your tank? Fully focus. Spam Wings of Wrath to keep Pyre Beam's cooldown low and use Kindle Soul as much as you can.

Keep in mind Pyre Beam's duration declines as soon as you cast it. The longer you let it travel before stopping it, the shorter it'll last in place. Pyre Beam can also be a way to provide some heals after you die. If you think you're going under, shoot a Pyre Beam at the point so they're not without heals for too long.
