Contributed by Enfinete: Prioritize pre-requisite points for direct heals. Maxing Refresh early is beneficial as it becomes row-targetable at a lower cost. Revive can start at level 1 and be leveled as needed. Patch Up scales with WIS and should be leveled based on post-battle healing needs. A suggested early build includes Revive 1, Healing 1, Refresh 1, Patch Up 1, then leveling Healing to 3, Refresh to 2, Patch Up as needed, and Refresh to 4.
