The Complete Warlock Soulweaver Healing Build – Neverwinter Mod 29 Mountain of Flame

Welcome to our Warlock Soulweaver Guide, updated for Mod 29: Mountain of Flame.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to Warlock Soulweaver healing in Neverwinter, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about playing a Warlock Soulweaver healer in Neverwinter.

We recommend that you have a separate DPS Hellbringer DPS loadout. See our Warlock Hellbringer DPS build here.

The purpose of our class guides is not just to show you a build that you can copy and use on your character, but to show you a base build and teach you the mechanics and stats of the game, so you can understand and play your class to its fullest capabilities.

Try different gear, feats, and powers, and learn to tailor your own build for your playstyle. See our guide to making your own build for more info.

Basic Warlock Soulweaver Info

Below is all the basic information for the Soulweaver, from race choices to stats.

Other Warlock Builds

• Warlock Soulweaver Healing Build
• All Neverwinter Class Builds

Race

What race you play doesn’t play a huge role, but will give you a small boost. Generally, I would advise you to play a race that you enjoy.

• Aasimar – 2% bonus Power, Outgoing Healing, Defense and Hit Points. – +2 to any two stats – 2% bonus Hit Points to party members.
• Wood Elf – 5% Critical Strike – +2 Dex and +2 Int or Wis – 20% Resistance to Slow
• Menzoberanzan Renegade – Reduce Defense and Damage of mobs by 3% – +2 Dex and Cha or Wis – 5% Deflect Severity
• Human – 1% Bonus to all ratings – +3 to any Ability Score
• Metallic Ancestry Dragonborn – Recieve 5% more healing – +2 to Any two stats – 3% Critical Strike – 3% Power
• Dragonborn – Recieve 5% more healing – +2 to Any two stats – 3% Critical Strike – 3% Power

Ability Score Priority

Put all your available Ability Scores into Charisma and Wisdom. Alternatively, put a few points into Dexterity instead of Charisma depending on what you need.

Stat / Rating Priority

Your cap for each stat is based on your item level. To cap a stat, the numbers of the stat need to be equal to or higher than your item level.

If your stat number is higher than your item level, you are wasting stats and should try to allocate stats differently.

For every 1000 points, a stat is lower than your item level you lose 1% in that stat.

As a healer Outgoing Healing is your most important stat.
