Invocator PvP Build Guide

Last Updated:May 6, 2025|Changelog

Welcome to the Invocator PvP Healer guide! Invocator is most commonly played as a healer, but can also be built as a Hybrid DPS when you obtain a Queen Bellandir's Hivemind Staff or Deluzhnoa's Ancient Petrified Staff and Tevent's Grasp of Withering.

With certain equipment sets such as the Oracle Priest Set and Vanguard Leader Set, as well as abilities like Echoic Barrier, Victorious Energy, Frost Smokescreen, Icebound Tomb, and Blessed Barrier, you can survive situations where you're outnumbered or up against a strong opponent.

Invocator has unique abilities such as, Ice Spear, and Salvation Chain, and Frost Smokescreen that makes you a healer who can reliably protect and peel for teammates.

Stats and Gearing Logic

  • Swap pieces in and out to match the server meta you are playing against.
  • Building 2-piece Feral and 2-piece Auric Vanguard is much tankier than 4-piece Vanguard and any other set combination.
    • For example:
      • Melee Defense (average build): 3,083 is 45.3% reduction; 2p Feral 3800 is 55% reduction = 10% damage reduction difference and 20% effective damage reduction.
      • Range Defense (average build): 2,900 = 49.2%; 2p Feral 3,344 = 52.7% = 3% damage reduction difference and 6% effective dmg reduction.
      • Magic Defense (average build): 2,405 = 44.49% ; 2p Feral 3,000 = 50% = 6% damage reduction difference and 12% effective dmg reduction.
  • Triple high Defense and Endurance provides you strong protection against all three damage types. Since Endurance always works by subtracting your Endurance against an enemy's Critical Hit Chance, it's very reliable in PvP. Additionally, if you have higher Endurance than your enemy's Crit, you can procc Glancing which forces a minimum Base Damage attack.
  • With the 2-Piece Oracle Priest Set and Mana Shield, you achieve insanely high Defenses that reduce all attacks received. Paired with the 2-Piece Vanguard Leader Set, you are tanky enough in PvP to survive most situations.
    • The 2-Piece Oracle Priest Set shares 200 of all Defenses to party members, making you more desirable in groups as a secondary support.
  • For the archboss version of this build, you can swap one of your weapon synergies to Strength and reallocate stats to bring Perception 70 to achieve higher Weaken Chance.

Alternatives

  • Use either Precious Purification Spirit Stone or Precious Purification Vigor Stone based on your preference. Many players find the CC immunity helps to get off important skills to ensure their and/or the party's survival, whereas with the healing stone they are re-CC'd and quickly bursted down again.

High Range Triple Endurance
Wand / Staff PvP Build

Wand / Staff
Archboss PvP Build

  • Swap pieces in and out to match the server meta you are playing against.
  • 4-Pc Vanguard Leader Set provides you with a high amount of Endurances and extra Base Damage to increase your healing and any DPS abilities you run.
  • This build is perfectly well rounded achieving high Max Mana, Mana Regen, Weaken Resistance, Range, Defenses, Endurances, Heavy Attack Evasion, and Debuff Duration.

Alternatives

  • Use either Precious Purification Spirit Stone or Precious Purification Vigor Stone based on your preference. Many players find the CC immunity helps to get off important skills to ensure their and/or the party's survival, whereas with the healing stone they are re-CC'd and quickly bursted down again.

  • This build is free-to-play friendly as all items are easily obtained through Adventure Coin: Loyalty or opening Precious Blessing Pouches from Resistance Contracts with higher drop rates.
  • Building 2-piece Feral and 2-piece Auric Vanguard is much tankier than 4-piece Vanguard and any other set combination.
    • For example:
      • Melee Defense (average build): 3,083 is 45.3% reduction; 2p Feral 3800 is 55% reduction = 10% damage reduction difference and 20% effective damage reduction.
      • Range Defense (average build): 2,900 = 49.2%; 2p Feral 3,344 = 52.7% = 3% damage reduction difference and 6% effective dmg reduction.
      • Magic Defense (average build): 2,405 = 44.49% ; 2p Feral 3,000 = 50% = 6% damage reduction difference and 12% effective dmg reduction.
  • When it comes to maximizing your survivability while maintaining a balanced distribution to all your other important stats, 2-piece Feral and 2-piece Auric is better.
  • Use Grieving Vengeance Cloak if you prefer to maximize your Melee Defense stat.

Skill Builds and Rotations

Debuffer
Full Suport
DPS
  • You will notice in-game that some Staff and Wand Mastery skills are forcibly activated and do not help us support in PvP. We have no choice but to take them due to how the system works, but they have no negative impact on our gameplay. Ignore them.
  • Full Support Invocator is a very useful and powerful class as it provides several key AoE CC and utility abilities that can be spammed often due to the class's high Cooldown Speed. It works the best with at least two Spear and/or Crossbow users in your group to synergize with your AoE Mana Burn capabilities from Burning Time.
  • Cast Cursed Nightmare and Burning Time on a target without Daggers and spread with Karmic Haze.
    • This combination will mass Sleep enemies, providing a clump of targets for your teammates to dive, while also applying the Burning Time Debuff that will quickly deplete the Mana of all those affected from each hit your party members land on the affected targets.
    • Spear and Crossbow users hit the most amount of times within a single use of an ability and when you have two or more together they can deplete a total of 5,000 to 7,000+ Mana within a single rotation. For majority of players, this would make it impossible for them to use abilities, securing your raid a win, or the upper hand during a fight.
    • You stack Weaken Chance to ensure this combination is successful upon use. Karmic Haze also ignores Shield Block Chance, making it much easier to complete the combo on a Shield and Sword user.
  • Use Salvation Chain to save your dive bombers after they complete a rotation or your frontline players who have ventured too deep into the enemy raid.
  • Icebound Armor will help you survive moments where you're ganked. Use this ability when you're in a tough situation and call your teammates to peel, or use the opportunity to ask your Greatsword party member for Blood Devotion.
  • Pair Frost Smokescreen with Ebon Soulwind Archstaff to Bind and Slow groups of enemies in place and create a clump of targets for your raid to blow up. This combination shines in areas with chokes that enemies are forced to push through.
  • To continue being a nuissance in PvP, make sure to constantly apply additional Slow Debuffs to enemies with your Frost Master passive.
  • Body blocking is a huge issue experienced by Tanks when they're trying to capture point or maneuver around it during GvGs, Wars, and Siege. Taking Spectral Defense helps them resolve this issue.
    • Keep in mind that the shield from Spectral Defense overrides the shield from Invincible Wall.
    • Provide Enchanting Time to DPS in your party when the tank doesn't need Spectral Defense.
  • With your high Mana Regen and Mana Spring, you no longer need to rely on Inner Peace.

Alternatives

  • If you prefer not to AoE Sleep, take Judgment Lightning instead and when engaging enemies, reduce the Shield Block Chance of all Shield and Sword users hit by 30%. This will significantly increase the damage your allies deal to them. If the frontline dies quicker due to your Debuffs, your raid will have an easier time dominating a fight!
  • This build is focused on depleting the enemy's Mana and making tanks squishier, while also supporting your party with your heals and utility abilities. With High Focus, you can spam these Debuffs and support abilities more often during a fight.
  • Focused Fire Bombs pairs with Full of Corruption in addition to your other Weaken abilities.
  • Use Enchanting Time on yourself or party members who are pulled into a clump and need to avoid being body blocked to escape. You can also use it on your tanks as they engage so they can easily clump enemy players without being body blocked. Lastly, it's great to similarly support tanks as they capture points during GvGs, Siege, and Wars.
  • Swap Lasting Storm to Targets Expanded if you prefer to share the High Focus with your allies.
  • Coming soon...

Guardians

Guardians are special transformations that add offensive or defensive buffs or attacks to your character for 30 seconds. These are the recommended Guardians for this class in both PvE and PvP situations.

  • Soundless Mage Taliesia is the common healer Guardian in T2. She increases healing by 25% and cleanses all CC from party members, while healing them for 8% of their Max Health.

Purification Stone

Use the Precious Purification Vigor Stone.

  • In addition to cleansing CC (other than collision, petrification, and weaken similar to the others), it provides a powerful heal that is increased by your healing passives and buffs, including Blessed Barrier.
  • The heal from the stone can Critical Heal.
  • The heal from the stone is increased by the Extreme Ascension set bonus.

Summary

  • The Invocator Healer in PvP is the most versatile healer build. You can play it as full support, hybrid DPS, and as a buffbot.
  • Invocator can achieve the highest Cooldown Speed in the game allowing you to spam heals and abilities more often compared to other healers.
  • As a Invocator build, you have Salvation Chain that allows you to pull party members from long ranges to safety, and Freeze enemies to save allies making you a great peeler during fights.
  • Talus's Resonance Staff and Lequirus' Grip improves your survivability as a Invocator healer.
