Character stats and healing

Husker4x4

What stats are most important on a healer, be it in PvE or PvP?

I've heard people say mag pool size has the greatest impact and that it nets you more oomph per heal than other offensive stats, is this true?

I build for spell damage, mag pool and mag regen. To get there, I forsake crit - when I need a heal, I need it to reliably strong every single time. PvE only here.

Healing in this game (from a PvE view and in harder content) is less about raw healing, but more about buffing your team mates to their full potential while restoring their resources and also keeping them alive.

Apart from a few Stamina healers, most healers wil focus on magicka, and magicka recovery is more important then spell damage.

Important skills
- Agressive Warhorn (+ crit dmg)
- Mystic Orb (for the synergy which gives resources back, cast often)
- Combat prayer (+ dmg buff)

Healers wear sets that benifit the others, for example: Spell Powe Cure (+ weapon/spell dmg )
or for monster set for example Symphony of Blades or Sentinel of Rkumgaz (gives stamina/magicka to players)
