Party support that still hits hard, on an Aulamus Staff at +15 and Vakron: Undefeated Mantra at 20 for the whole group, Dark Crush at 19 with no cooldown, and Recuperation twice in a row.

What you bring to a group

A Chanter is the reason the rest of the party hits harder. Undefeated Mantra sits on everyone near you the whole fight, Power of the Storm speeds the group up for a short burst, and Recuperation tops people up and pulls a debuff off them. None of that costs you your own damage. With a staff in your hand you stand in melee range and keep a steady line of hits going, and from skill level 16 Dark Crush has no cooldown left, so it goes out every time something opens it.

This version is what most strong Chanters wear right now: an Aulamus Staff at +15, a Vakron guard and armour, Aulamus jewellery and green cards. Nothing in it is rare luck, and every piece carries on into the next step.

Before the pull

Undefeated Mantra and Sprint Mantra
Both are switches. Turn them on once and leave them; they cover you and everyone close to you. Pressing either again turns it off, so keep them out of any macro.
Power of the Storm
On the pull, before anyone uses a skill. The cooldown cut only works on cooldowns that start while it is up, so a late Storm is a wasted one.
Marchutan's Wrath
From 20 m as the boss comes in. It hits up to four targets and opens Dark Crush for three seconds.
Then two keys
Hold Onslaught on the left button and the macro on the right, and let the line do the work.

The line on your right button

Four skills share one key, read from the bottom up. The game fires the lowest one that is ready. Dark Crush sits at the bottom, but it can only be cast for two seconds after Spinning Strike or Impactful Crush, so most of the time it is waiting. When it is closed, Spinning Strike goes out and opens it, then Impactful Crush does the same, and Incandescent Blow fills in while both are cooling down. Your left button holds Onslaught, which gives MP back with every hit and takes a second off Spinning Strike each time it lands.

Slot	Skill	Why it sits there
Bottom	Dark Crush	Fires the moment a window is open; no cooldown to wait for from 16
2	Spinning Strike	Opens Dark Crush and stacks +15% crit damage on you twice, for 30 seconds
3	Impactful Crush	The second opener; faster cast and usable on the move
Top	Incandescent Blow	Filler for the gaps, and cheaper on MP with its pick

The levels that matter

Only three skill levels change anything: 12, 16 and 20. Each one opens a new pick, and the one that opens at 16 takes one of your two slots until a third slot arrives at 20.

Skill	Level	What you get there
Dark Crush	19	Piercing Strike as a follow-up and no cooldown; the crit pick comes back at 20
Spinning Strike	18	Five seconds off its cooldown, and every hit ignores block and lands as a crit
Onslaught	17	A second off Spinning Strike per hit, and the Storm Chain follow-up
Recuperation	16	Two casts in a row, each healing a little more
Wave Blow	12	From 12 its knockdown also cuts the target's PvE damage by 15% for 10 seconds

Where the levels come from

Source	Dark Crush	Spinning Strike	Onslaught
Skill points	10	10	10
A node on each of the four boards	+4	+4	+4
Two Aulamus rings	+2	+2	—
Green Parchment of Vigor	+2	+1	+1
Green Chalice of Vigor	+1	+1	+2
Total	19	18	17

Healing on the side

Recuperation heals you and everyone within 40 m at once, keeps healing for eight seconds and removes a debuff. With its first pick you get two casts back to back, and each one comes back on its own 15 seconds later. Use it when the group actually takes damage, not on cooldown. Blessing of Life turns part of your Attack into healing, so the damage gear you wear also makes your heals bigger.

Gear

Piece	Lines	Stones
Staff · Aulamus Staff +15	Combat Speed, Weapon Damage Boost, Damage Boost, Might	Attack ×2, Critical Hit, Accuracy (Legend)
Guard · Vakron Guard +12	Combat Speed, Weapon Damage Boost, Damage Boost, Multi-hit Chance	As the staff
Armour · Vakron Helm set +10	Double Chance on the helm, shoulders and cloak, Critical Damage Boost on the shoulders, Damage Boost on the chest, Combat Speed on the gloves, Move Speed on the boots, Attack everywhere, and one of Wind's Promise, Attack Preparation or Impact Hit	Attack, Critical Hit, Accuracy, HP (Legend)
Earrings and necklace · Aulamus Earrings +10	Might, Accuracy or Combat Speed, and a passive	As the armour
Rings · Aulamus Ring +10	Might, Attack, Dark Crush, Spinning Strike	As the armour

Those passive lines are spent on purpose. Three of them take Wind's Promise to 20 and four take Attack Preparation to 20; the rest put Impact Hit on 16. Wind's Promise is the one to fill first, because every crit you land, and Spinning Strike makes a lot of them, can add a hit of its own.

Arcana

Card	Lines	What it is for
Parchment of Vigor	Dark Crush +2, Onslaught, Spinning Strike, Rushing Smash	Dark Crush past 16
Chalice of Vigor	Onslaught +2, Dark Crush, Spinning Strike, Wind's Promise	The basic attack and the last Wind's Promise level
Compass of Vigor	Recuperation +2, Incandescent Blow, Impactful Crush, Gust Rampage	Your heal to 16
Bell of Magic	Attack Preparation +2, Blessing of Life, Protection Circle, Survival Willpower	Destruction on this card means more Attack
Mirror of Vigor	Wind's Promise +2, Impact Hit, Inspiring Spell, Earth's Promise	The passives your crits live on

Stigmas

Stigma	Level	What it does for the group
Undefeated Mantra	20	More PvE damage and less damage taken for everyone near you, plus Accuracy, crit damage and Double Chance from its picks
Power of the Storm	10	Attack speed and shorter cooldowns for the party, back every 90 seconds
Sprint Mantra	10	Faster movement, a small heal on hits, more stamina
Marchutan's Wrath	5	A third Dark Crush opener from range

That is 110 stigma points. The next ones go into Power of the Storm, because at 20 it also adds Attack for you and the party.

When a Cleric is in the group

Your effect	What happens with a Cleric
Undefeated Mantra	Only the higher level of it and their Light of Protection counts; on a tie yours wins. Keep yours on and let them swap
Power of the Storm	Anyone carrying their Earth's Blessing cannot take your Storm, so agree who covers whom
Earth's Promise	Its cut to the boss's damage tolerance does nothing next to their Chain of Torment
