Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Dark Blessing
Gold
Healing or Shielding an ally grants you permanent Cursed Power. Gain Ability Haste based on your Cursed Power.
Why on Karma
Each Inspire (E) shield on your ally builds Cursed Power, and the extra Ability Haste lets you cast Inner Flame (Q) and Inspire more often.
1
First-Aid Kit
Silver
Gain 20% Heal and Shield Power.
Why on Karma
Inspire (E) is your main tool for keeping allies alive, and with Mantra (R) it shields nearby allies too, so 20% more Shield Power strengthens every one of those shields.
2
Righteous Fury
Prismatic
Healing or Shielding increases your Ability damage by 2%, stacking infinitely for the round.
Why on Karma
Each Inspire (E) shield adds 2% Ability damage for the round, so shielding often steadily raises the damage of your Inner Flame (Q) and Focused Resolve (W).
