    For the love of god, dont for a second give credence in anyone claiming NBs cant possibly heal any 4 man vet boss, that is objective nonsense.

    Yeah, I always hear "Why is our healer a NB?" or "A NB healer? I never heard of that or knew it was possible."
    Frankly, it shows how dumb and close minded people really are. I cringe when I hear stuff like "Ooohh I didn't know that was possibruuu". Really, if you spend just 1 minute looking at the NB skill tree it should be obvious the class has massive healing potential.

    And I agree with @exeeter702 that NB healer can clear all content. Mutagen/rapid regen and funnel up at all times, throw a couple of orbs in different directions (they heal for a lot), and don't for get to proactively use resto heavy attacks to give your hot healing a massive boost. I also like casting quick siphon on targets to give even more passive healing to the group. Whatever you do, don't try spamming healing springs all over the place. NB don't need that ability outside of trials.

    First thing i have to say: NB-Healers will see a glorious time in the next Chapter! The change to malevolent offering is an incredible buff, allthou it hase me thinking about changing my race vom Breton to Nord (my Main templar healer is nord as well, in i've healed every Content with it)

    Second thing: My Setup includes the vAS restostaff in it, since ressourcemanagement is a little harder on NB as it is on Templar (well considering the fact that i dont run leaching strikes). So with the vAS resto i just can lay down Combat Prayer and throw 3 Orbs without a huge magicka cost. My Backbarstaff switches between Fire or Lightning, depending on the team.

    Third thing: thanks for showing me reapers Mark and summon Shade options, never thought about them, but they are freakin interesting now as i think about it.

    Honestly, i really wanted to use similar debuff class skills with my nightblade healer, but i found them extremely underwhelming.
    Mark Target gives redundant debuff. There are plenty of sources for major breach and major fracture. The heal won't help you against bosses. The morphs are bad too. Piercing Mark is for PvP, Reaper's Mark give you an unneeded buff and you can't even clearly control when to get the said buff.
    Summon Shade is the same. Mediocre damage, minor main is another redundant debuff. Shadow Image is for PvP, the teleport may be useful, but very rarely. Dark Shade will give an aoe minor main, but again, between Heroic Slash and Choking Talons, i don't see this skill necessary.
    Besides Strife, Refreshing Path and Siphoning Attacks (and maybe Malevolent Offering with Summeret), i don't see other class skill being useful.

    Noob question from a stamina NB player:

    As a NB healer how easy can you do single player content, like public dungeons?

    I was thinking of switching to magicka, trying something new, but don't want to get into a struggle while into single player fights with lots of adds when farming stuff or doing dailies.

    I heard of nightblades healers doing 20k to 30k dps. Nightblades healers are good at dps and healing. On focus Magicka is easier to play.

    I recently made a new magicka nightblade. He got his first public dungeon skillpoint at level 7. By level 12 he had five or them.

    Now to be clear:
    • I'm max CP.
    • My alt characters have good gear, food, etc. as they level.
    • The going did feel a bit slow, so I wasn't too motivated to, for example, also get the skyshards.

    Still, magicka nightblade is a nicely strong spec.

    And by the way, there isn't too much difference between my healing and questing/generic builds on magicka characters, as I tend to both heal and level with destro/resto. Where I go destro/destro is for dungeon DPS, or in overland play with characters advanced enough to have strong class heals.

    As it stands my healer nightblade puts out far stronger dps and hps than my Templar. All I'm rocking on my healer nb is Julianos and Healer Mending set on her. On my Templar, SPC and Worm. Nirn lightning and nirn resto on nb and nirn lightning and powered resto on Templar.

    Most people just call the set mending. And I am pretty sure you would be better off running a different set, the set needs *you* to be within 10meters of the enemy to proc, and only off of aoe heals, pretty much the only 2 a nb has is springs and combat prayer. Pretty sure sap essance doesn't count as a healing ability.

    I disagree. NB has more than enough healing as it is. TK would be overkill and it would normally not even proc a lot because people shouldn't get to such low health that often. I would much prefer to use sentinel of rkugamz, for the stamina support it gives to your group.

    well troll king is definitely going to come in handy come summerset, using the new burst heal will eats ur hp away so having lots of forms of hots is definitely going to help. and those monster sets u listed have never been my style anyhow

    Offering will tick your life down over 8 seconds, so if anything its the exact opposite since your hots are constantly rolling, you are going to negate its cost in real time, whereas on live you could cast it twice and drop down low enough to proc troll king (though im not sure why giving yourself hp regen is a selling point for a monster set in pve healing) before your hots bring you back up, and even that is hard sometimes.

    yeah ik all about offering, i been healing on a nb for awhile and been testing it on the pts since it went live, offering also scales with any type of dmg buff, sorcery, minor berserk, spc etc, the more dmg u raise on urself the more hp over time it will cost, i tried alot of monster sets and troll king does it for me. it just makes the most sense on a nb healer especially with how this new burst heal works but to each their own u know and also i dont consider "over healing" a thing. u can never have too much healing, that being said nb may have a burst heal now but it comes at a price unlike breath of life, so having as much healing possible in ur kit is a better safe than sorry kind of thing. fully buffed outside of trials my funnel health crits for 14k+ (not using julianos btw) with 32% of that going to allies, so they get their intial heal on point and about 4k+ ticks i have the dmg i have the healing and if there is one thing in this game ik alot about, its nb's. of course everyone has their preference and style. but yeah long story short i consider troll king very very good, and wouldnt trade it for any other monster set (unless future new cool ones come out)

    I mean... thats cool do your thing, but your example of why troll king is good because of offering still makes no sense lol. Rolling hots will float the hp you are spending to cast offering. There is no correleation between the offering self dot and troll king uptime on allies let alone yourself. If pure raw overhealing as a cushion is what you are after, even bogdan, chokethorn and earthgore would be better suited lol.

    Troll king on a healer is first and foremost for allies in pve. Thus im just curious how exactly you are triggering it on yourself when your hots are countrracting the oblivion damage dot and thus never putting you below the required hp threshhold to activate it. There are plenty of scenarios where your life will spike down low enough to activate troll king, but that simultaneously has nothing to do with offering and benefits you group in no way.

    Look dont get me wrong, im not arguing against troll king entriely, and my mentioning of the other sets was just me being sly as those sets are largely overkill in pve for healers. Eventually when your gear is bis and fully optimized, troll kings benefits begin to wain. Case in point, i stopped using it for my trial runs when i noticed its actual uptime was far below what i would like to see, and other sets instantlu became more attractive options due to less strict proc requirements and actual HPS already being more than adequate.

Case in point, i stopped using it for my trial runs when i noticed its actual uptime was far below what i would like to see, and other sets instantlu became more attractive options due to less strict proc requirements and actual HPS already being more than adequate.

    was supposed to be a gif but couldnt figure out how to attach it

    I have been using the infernal guardian set on a dark elf / vamp + julianos + spc. I have healing wards, and replenishing barrier that activates the fire damage. For group content I like the extra flame damage along with refreshing path + sap essence + funnel health on my inferno destro staff bar... Thoughts? Could I be using a better monster set to support team?

    If your stats and cp are in a good spot, and thus your healing output is comfortable, a damage monster set is always gravy for 4 man content. The last thing you want is to roll up in a dungeon in super try hard trial healer mode. Though i would suggest skoria over IG personally. Refreshing path and WOE is more than enough to keep it proccing and healing ward is not really used that much. Also lightning destro can end up giving your group more overall damage due to concussed (minor vulnerability) and off balance. Of course you are trading your own funnel health damage /healing by not going fire, your call.
