Tips on my mag blade build

Lynx7386

I just switched to magicka nightblade for alliance point farming. Normally I run stamina, but it's been going too slow and I feel like I'm not contributing enough to groups. I'm vet 8 on the azura campaign, so no need to worry about Champion points.

Last night I ran dual resto, with:
Front bar: funnel health, lotus fan, impale, inner magelight, soul harvest
Back bar: combat prayer, sap essence, rapid regeneration, mass hysteria, siege shield, soul siphon.

I was primarily healing the group and using strife and sap for offense. I noticed I almost never used impale or lotus fan though.
On a side note, it's ridiculous that my Stam blade can only use cloak like 3 times, but this setup let me go invisible literally permanently.

I'm running 5 seducer and 3 magnus for resource management, and using some generic regen jewelry.

I'm thinking about swapping the first bar for dual wield and using concealed weapon, is it worth it though?

I have to use cripple or have concealed weapon on the bar. Cripple if you swap alot or concealed on a dps/healing bar in your case. Why run resto on front bar if not using resto abilities?

FUNNEL HEALTH usta be da bomb diggity for healing the party, but it got the nerf with TG. I morphed out of it as it only heals ONE additional person now. Better to go with the healing bonus and spam resto springs to healing ward right?

Well each time you cast funnel the hot can go into a different ally right? So if you're spamming it you can heal larger groups?

I had resto on both bars mainly for the heavy attack magicka regen and heal, and to help level it quicker and have ranged attacks.

Reroll templar or sorc if you want easy mode.

If i had the time I might, but it's taken me over a year just to get to vet 8, lol

I think funnel health is still fine, as somebody pointed out, each spam of it you are potentially healing somebody different.

You seem to be playing a healing/support role there so consider, do you actually want lotus fan to gap close? You're better off at the back doing what you just described.

Consider using Merciless Resolve for another 8% boost and optinoal burst damage, swap out Sap Essence for Structured Entropy so you can get the 20% boost from range, you have to get quite close for sap.

I keep sap mainly because when sieging keeps the whole group moves in at once and aoes down the guards. Sap keeps everyone healed while adding to the damage, and there's not much focus on me individually.
