Welcome to our Warlock Soulweaver Guide, updated for Mod 27: Spelljammer.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to Warlock Soulweaver healing in Neverwinter, you’ve come to the right place.

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

• Warlock Soulweaver Healing Build
• All Neverwinter Class Builds

Best Soulweaver Races

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.

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

Soulweaver Ability Score Priority

Put all your available Ability Scores into Wisdom and Charisma or Dexterity.

Soulweaver Stat / Rating Priority

The Combat Rework introduced major changes to how stats and item level work, for more info see the official post.

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.

You won’t be able to easily cap all stats, but capping your power is quite easy.

As a healer Outgoing Healing is your most important stat.
