Description
I've been playing at endgame with an undergeared variation of this and been happy with it for what it is. It's a first-life build designed for healing and light tanking in LH raids, and it's done the job. I've solo healed most modern raids on that difficulty with a good party composition, and have solo tanked some older raids like Skellies, Chrono, and Dryad.
Fully geared and with bard buffs, you can expect something like 5-5,500 HP, 350ish PRR, 220ish MRR, and 450 Fortification depending on tomes, past lives and Reaper Points. Healing is passable at ~800 Positive spellpower, 69 crit chance, 55 crit multiplier, but not stellar. For reaper questing, I would recommend playing as a healer rather than a tank unless you have another healer in the group. Just be realistic with your capabilities.
If you want to focus more on healing and less on tanking, I would follow Lominal's bard healer build for ED allocation, as that works quite well while still being robust enough to take some hits.
