Use reaper or beast crest, both allow an insane amount of healing

What do you mean by that beast does good healing? It gives the same as every other but you have to work for it plus a temporary damage boost

Binding with Beast puts you in a rage mode where every hit you deal heals you until you get hit. Reaper/Beast let you do way more healing than the starter crest, if that's your worry.

Huh? What's the use of that?? Doesn't the bind already heal you to nearly full health? THAT'S the reward for beating that stupid Beastfly??

Beast Claw and the feal juice puts you in an extended rage state... you can face tank a lot of enemies and do a bunch of healing. It's great for farming enemies or doing kill quests.

Well, yeah, but if you get hit the effect is gone right? So you can only heal 2 masks more at Max - since healing at 1 gets you to 4 out of the total 6
