Breakdown
The idea behind this build is to have a solid heal, but still having dps capabilities, for that choice, we chose to work on the barque, with his 60% hull health and 10% severe damage heals, making it alongside the repair bombard, capable of healing almost all damages income in the game.
Even tho the cutter is a better group heal, barque’s higher gunports and stamina regen, makes it a better heal regarding healing tanks.
Regarding the weapons, decided to go toward the repair bombard, which are way more efficient than repair long guns, and the larger healing area allows to heal multiple friendlies at once.
Alongside that, decided to use bombards offensives weapons, to benefit on the common furnitures, the dardanelle’s being the best ones at the moment.
Concerning the auxiliary, decided to go with leopold for more dps, if need more heals, can switch it for repair mortar and joinery workshop instead of maintained arsenal.
Regarding the armor, the best choice being black prince, can swap it for wailing ward if doing la peste.
For the furnitures, bombard powderhouse and grinder, to help out the repair and dardanelle’s at the same time, I chose the port powderkegs instead of the bombard works, giving a slight higher dps.
Regarding this build, the positioning of your ship is going to be very important, around 300m from the ennemies, but still pretty close to the tank, keeping him at your front/starboard side, having the possibility to deal with incoming adds from the back/port side.
