Sorcerer Healing

Lord_Eomer

Hi,

What is best for sorcerer healing?

Dark Magic 8% damage heal is very slow and painful and Restoration Staff skills seems like a bad choice.

Hi,

My character is Breton V6, I am using Inner light (for 5% Magicka + critical rating bonus), Entropy (Mages Guild for 20% spell damage and Health Buff) Aegis Armor (8% Magicka Buff), Crystal Blast, Destruction Staff.

I am finding Crystal Blast too slow and even while doing solo, sometime dying @ Veteran Level Dolmens

On the other side My Breton& Imperal NB, Dark Elf DK are very strong and can do anything solo in Veteran Zones,

Seems like Sorcerer is weaker class so far than NB and DK..

healing in what sense?

Healer build for a sorc? 5 piece trinimac + 5 piece twice born star.
Throw your pets out and use a restoration staff, and use reviving barrier.

As a sorc healer you must understand you cannot out heal a templar. But You can keep your people from taking damage with shields more effectively then any other healer brethren and you can help stun adds and burst heal with your pets+ off tank with pets.

Now if your a normal sorc and want to know how to just stay alive. Crit surge/ward/crystal frags should be enough to live through just about anything.

Also remember Harness magicka (the morph of annulment under light armor) is a must have skill. I try to have harness magicka on my buff bar/dot bar, and ward on the other to maintain resources and mitigate heavy magical attacks/aoes

Most people use the other morph of Crystal Blast, which can proct an instata-cast frag with with increased damage, and reduced cost.

You could heal or simply avoid damage a bunch of ways. Mines will heal you 8% max health for EACH mine. Ward is OP. Pet can keep you from even taking damage at all while giving you some damage and Twilight heal.

You should have 2 bars. Slot resto on your back bar with Blessing of Restoration/Combat Prayer for healing and a damage buff if you really feel like you need it. Slot all your more defensive skills there (Ward, Mines, Surge, what ever) It sounds more like you need to work out your offense so your defense is less suspect. Sorc is pretty much easy mode when you figure a few things out.

Do you know about Weaving attacks/animation canceling? You might want to check out some build on youtube to help you out.

Sorc is actually the strongest solo pve classes due to Hardened Ward, Power Surge and Overload. For pve you dont need a resto staff at all, I completed vMSA with destro/DW because you can heal with Power Surge and just mitigate dmg with shields.

Bar 1 (fire staff) - Liquid Lighting, Crushing Shock, Pulsar/Crystal Frags, Inner Light, Bound Aegis - Meteor
Bar 2 (DW swords) - Power Surge, Hardened Ward, Harness Magicka, Proximity Detonation/Boundless Storm, Bound Aegis - Overload

Overload bar - Power Surge, Hardened Ward, Harness Magicka, Inner Light, Bound Aegis

For bosses you can store up to 1000 ultimate, this means you can put out insane dmg if you have high spell dmg.
