Taoist healers in Mir4 hold a unique and indispensable role. Armed with potent restorative abilities, they are the lifelines of any adventuring party or raid. The main role of Taoists is to ensure the survival and success of their group by providing essential support, protection, and even resurrecting fallen comrades.
In addition to their healing prowess, Taoists often exhibit a remarkable sense of battle, and adaptability in responding to the ever-changing needs of their team.
Taoists are also capable of powerful melee combat, with exceptional sword skills not only do they possess great healing and defense they can be deadly in PVP combat if you know the right build and skills to operate as a powerful Taoist.

Taoist Skills Combo Guide
Now, let’s explore the wide range of skills that a Taoist character in Mir4 possesses. Taoists have access to two healing spells and two party buffs that can be shared with their allies. The focus of the Taoist’s skill set leans more towards support rather than direct attack abilities. This means that your offensive capabilities may be somewhat limited, which is fair if you ask me.
However, despite this, Taoists are still capable of inflicting significant damage with their remaining attack skills. In my opinion, Taoists are the easiest characters to play due to their straightforward attack combination pattern.
Taoist Debilitation Skills:
- Moonlight Orb
- Moonlight Wave
Taoist Bash Damage Skills:
- Piercing Blades
- Sunbeam Sword
- Rain of Blades
- Soaring Slash
Taoist Skill Combination
- Moonlight Wave > Piercing Blades > Sunbeam Sword
- Moonlight Orb > Soaring Slash > Rain of Blades
Taoist Healing Skills
- Heal
- 100% remove Debilitation-type debuff and 50% chance on party members
- Able to use even when Silenced and Dispel Silenced from your party members
- Greater Heal
- Invincible for 3 sec
- Able to use when Silenced
- Able to use when Stunned
- Resurrect Party member
- Ray of Light (Ultimate Skill)
- Invincible for 3 sec after casting
- Recover set amount of 20% HP for you and party members
Note: All this stat was based on tier 8 Skills for reference.
Quick tip:
The Greater Heal and Ray of Light skills grant a 3-second invincibility effect, making them ideal choices when faced with a relentless onslaught of opponent’s skills. By executing these abilities with impeccable timing, especially when countering ultimate skills or burst damage, you have the ability to effectively nullify their attacks. Utilizing these abilities in such a manner provides a significant advantage.
Here is an example of Taoist’s flow of combination skills in PVP. See the diagram picture below.
Please note that I have not included the healing skills, as it is ultimately your decision to determine when to utilize them.
Conclusion:
When it comes to character builds, Taoists have the freedom to choose their preferred approach. The Burst Build is designed to maximize DPS, focusing on specific weapons, armor, accessories, and enchantments that enhance attack stats. On the other hand, the Reduction and Evasion Build emphasizes defensive capabilities, prioritizing debilitation resistance, knockdown resistance, and damage reduction. These build options allow players to customize their Taoists to align with their desired playstyle.
Additionally, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with the skills of the Taoist character to effectively fulfill your role as a support class. By understanding and mastering these skills, you can become a valuable asset to your team.
