Nightblade healing????

tommyshelby

I just battled a NB that was able to refill his entire healthbar 3-4 times during the battle. At first I thought it was potions, but this happened within the span of twenty seconds and potions have a cooldown period. What was this? Please help explain to me what this guy was doing.

I was going to say Rally but they wouldn't do it instantly. Were you in a group of people? As he could've used that target skill which, if you kill the enemy your targeted, refills nearly all your health.

NB has a few skills that if magic based instead of stamina based can heal themselves quite a bit.
stamina builds also offer healing but do u recall any weapon swaps?

Thalmor-Nordmaster

^ what Smurfy said. Did you notice any red glow around the NB ?

If you spam rally you get the final heal over and over. Was he kind of sticking his sword into the air often?

Vigor + Rally = Healing Springs + Rapid with enough weapon damage those heals hit hard and fast

Mojmir

killers blade and mark target replenish quite well, but the target has to die for it to be effective

Believe me when I say Nightblade class heals are a joke. Non Class heals Godly.

rally or healing ward

I mixture of Rally + Resolving Vigor and a few dodge rolls to give time for the heals to take effect. Voila!

Well, the new patch will make it more difficult due to increase in stamina cost in rally and dodge roll

He could also be a magicka nb who use a resto staff on his 2nd bar.....

I have a magicka NB with resto staff. I must be doing it wrong because there's no way I can outheal dmg, even spamming HEALING SPRINGS to the max. It's good for the group rallying around the flag, but a great way to end up dead if I pull it solo in combat.

Well since we are on the topic... exactly what NB class skills are the best healing skills; anything decent in the Siphoning tree?

Depends on PVE, or PVP focused. SWALOW SOUL/FUNNEL HEALTH is the main class HOT, which isn't really like some of the other class insta-heals.

Here's a thread that might be of interest:

I disagree with a lot in that build (SOUL HARVEST?!?!? WTF?). SOUL TETHER is the obvious choice. Food for thought.

if you tell us what weapon he was using it would be alot easier to determine how he was healing him self

Im not going to comment on anything else regarding that build but, Soul Harvest isnt there primarily to be used as an ultimate constantly, For example, Drop a shooting star ultimate on a trash pack of mobs, and swap back to your aoe bar that has soul harvest on it, and watch as you can basically cast another shooting star again within seconds due to the insane ulti regen they both provide in combo. This alone, is far more valuable than a useless soul tether.

Think a siphoning build... He uses Funnel health along with crippling gasp and then say entropy (degeneration morph) then perhaps the resto staff with siphon... That's heals per damage you do two secs from funnel plus 8% healths received for being slotted then another lot of heals received for siphoning skills being slotted then the ticks for entropy. Perhaps then wears a bit of heavy armour for more heals received plus healths from force siphon... Then put on twilights embrace and lots of spell crit. You've got yourself a pretty rad pvp or pve set up.

I've daydreamed about making such a build but no build is perfect. I'm sure a burst build could tear through it.

Then you are doing it wrong if you use healing Springs for self heal healing ward is your friend and regen.

Check out the Battle Master Corner and see the Bloodleach Slayer. There are so many aspects of healing for this build from strife/swallow soul to twin slashes to siphoning strikes and all of these can be used in conjunction to really get the health recovery going in combat. Pair that with some stuff to boost health regen stats and BAM!

He probably was using his lifesteal from polynomicon.

Having only X number of spots on the bar, I go HEALING SPRINGS for the group, and for a small self heal after I cancel a DOT with cloak (read siege fire) Too many other things to slot.

That's clever with the regen from SOUL HARVEST, but I disagree on SOUL TETHER. It does nice dmg, it stuns, it heals, and the group can trigger SOUL LEECH. Now you do give me an idea to use SOUL HARVEST to regen SOUL-TETHER... sweet!

PvE... and thanks, I had been considering Strife and its morph, Funnel Health. Guess that is the route I'll go.
