Seven healer specializations include source-checked talent codes and real single-fight healing excerpts. Gear alternatives and conditional stat comparisons are available for the Arcane specimen; other gaps, older sample dates and unresolved comparisons remain explicit. The interface supports ten languages; current guide body text is Simplified Chinese. Talent codes were checked against official serialization and source records, not pasted into the game client.
