Great, I had also given up the healer months ago and played as a bruiser. But your return and this new build have motivated me to heal again.

[@harrynazarian3184]

LEMONI! I LOVE IT! Good to have you back, brother :) You know I stayed up REALLY late working on this combo and setup. Even for a crap PvP'er like me using this setup and having pretty good results, it works GREAT! Let's hope AGS does not bring out the nerf bat too soon.

[@goldylox4life854]

Fantastic build man, definitely gonna try it out. So good to have ya back.. I've missed your enthusiastic videos

Yes! I've been waiting for your guides since I came back to New World with fresh start. Welcome back :D

Lemoni broooo, so glad you're back. Most build videos are trash. Yours are always the best.

[@ginnidiaz861]

I just began restart as heals and got a GS as a drop and it was the cleric sword. Stumbled into using it as healer and I love it. All the perks as you said. Who knew it is a thing? Thanks loads.

[@LeahSahad]

Good to see you back!!

[@johnnydanger6969]

Thanks for this! I've been looking for a reason to come back and Heal and this is it. I've geared myself to a kind of basic standard to support this and spent some time in OPR today - definitely it is "working" but I will say that it is the cooldowns on the GS abilities that feel a bit scary, ie if you pop all 3 (quite likely to have done in a big escape scenario) it feels like a LONG time until one comes back. (I don't have BIS items for this build so only have a couple of refreshing evasion and one or two refreshing.)

[@xeticus5435]

One of my friends loves your content and she was excited to see you on Valhalla. You're Covenant so I am little less pleased. :D I was working with her on great sword techniques, and she was incredibly hard to try and kill.

[@nerdcoregaming6468]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BUILD.

[@uhtred7108]

I'd recommend Roaring rupture on the weapon for more assistance to the team with slowing people more.

[@mattcatarino4403]

yoooo this is nuts. pumped to try this out

[@destroyer9172]

In regards to Roaring Rupture negating a shockwave stun it comes from hitting your ability before they hit the shockwave meaning you gain the uninterruptible buff which is a full across the board Movement impairment Imunity (slow, root, stun). you said in the video you werent sure what cause the shockwave to not stun so just in case you hadn't figured it out yet thought I'd let you know. it is a 5 second buff so you can make great use of it to prevent people from interrupting an Relentless Rush (RR weapon perk cleanses on activation not during the ability so you can get staggered or rooted out of it if you arent careful). uninterruptable is kinda overpowered IMO but I feel like people havent figured out how it works yet. Good Luck, Loved the Build 😁

GREAT GUIDE! LOVE IT. Whats the order we should use the abilities ideally? say we get piled by 4 people. And you can give different order depending on different scenarios, but just want your thoughts. switch to greatsword - deflect - roar - roll - relentless rush - roll/switch back to LS?

I was thinking that GS would replace Rapier when I played it in the PTR, but since I'm not a healer I didn't use it myself

[@wtfwitemos]

Do you have any clips of getting chased by light melee, schizos, or GS? That's generally the biggest threats in war (and not the spear at the end schizos are SnS/hatchet or bb/wh)

[@wtfwitemos]

@@LemoniGames hmmm thru youtube? Not sure how

[@yondoo503]

Hello, little brother! It is very interesting to watch your videos, but there is always an element of understatement. I started watching your video from the PTA, when there was a Paladin meta. I started for this class myself. I stopped playing a long time ago, I was disappointed with the attitude towards the community. But the guys persuaded me to go to the fresh server and I'm back in business. I looked at your masterpiece as always :) And it became interesting, as I said, I missed a lot already in the game, but I got carried away with new perks and glass. And what if with your assembly, to make a mega peeling. Insert stones to absorb dmg and transfer it from each armor to 1% peeling, perk to Dodge with health recovery. Well, then I think you can tell me. Is it worth stirring up or not. If so, what to add. Maybe there is something to increase the incoming peeling. Thanks in advance Bro.

Calamity counter seems broken though? Cause sometimes you just get damaged through it :(

[@wavee5879]

How is this build in solo pvp encounters?

[@Tadeco1]

Hi where u drop the Lifestaff?

[@Ramrok]

So the only reason you do Roll Counter-cancel Roll Relentless Rush is if you have Energizing Counter, right? Otherwise i assume you dont need to do the Counter-cancel.

[@huddiezilla6643]

Why does mending have to be on life staff and not just armor?

[@alphaone321]

The problem with the calamity counter is that it can be broken if anough people hit it. Also in 1v2 feels extremely more weak than rapiers riposte. I feel like it should knock back only w one hit instead of three, im fine w it being broken but its stupid that they have to hit 3 times for it to be remotely useful. (Apply knock back)

[@NPC16161]

Really liking the build, what would be BIS for GS in a defensive purpose like this? Calamaty perk + keen speed + ?

Nice video and very good explanation! But what is the purpose of this build: your are neither a DD or a healer for the group since you use the cds for yourself to keep alive...

[@muhlaka123]

@@LemoniGames nope I disagree. With rapier ppl try to escape or at least keep distance afterwards immediately heal the group. But this one means stay at point and survive, more or less like a tank. As mentioned the heal is used mainly for surviving not for group healing, eg. Sacred Ground. Anyway thank you for the inspiration :)

The "mobility" is the worst of the greatsword, the only thing that makes it good is if you have the perk that removes root, but fleche is a much better mobity skill still

Fleche is good but the other 2 skills trash compared to GS skills after rapier nerf

[@neithjohansen3885]

I was using it since first day, this is true not many using, because Hatchet is better than this, hatchet with improved social distance skill. GS is cool to play, fun to play, but smart assasin will kill you much faster than with hatchet.

@@LemoniGames Let me make a in general comment and say lolol and have as many ???? without really having a real counter argument. I play with coordinated groups and people who specifically have plague on there weapons to cut healing. and healers can just stand there and have there heals cut and not die.
