Monster Sets

Levi

So, we have 10 monster sets

3 of them are for tanking: Blood Spawn, Scourge Harvester, and Lord Warden
1 is for resource: Engine Guardian
1 is for healing that barely anyone uses or likes: Nightflame
The rest are for dps.

So, why didn't was get another monster set for healers? I really would like to know why.

idk

What would you propose that would be different than a totem that is not just a reskinned totem?

Lord warden can be used by a healer. Rare someone does no take damage and others csn benefit from its orb.

Beyond that, most raid healers do not have 2 slots to give up to a monster set and most 4 man dungeons do not need much healing so healers often to damage with rapid regen. I've done vDSA with no healer.

My point is, unless it's a fantastic mechanic, I doubt many would use any healer except those who thought it was cute. So, what suggestions to you have?

Non-Templar healers might find Bogdan more viable if the totem provided a larger area of effect and if it gave access to major mending.

Most agree on that change would make the set better. However, that is not the point OP was making. He wants a second set.

Edit: actually, he wants to know why a second set has not been added. Considering each set offers something uniquely different I had to ask what he suggests. Although Kena set can be used for healing just as much as dps though I wouldn't recommend it. Some use guardian for healing but I've always found that set lack luster (just my humble opinion).

I agree with you. I only added my recomendation because ZOS is clearly not intending to add a healing set any time soon. So, why not make Bogdan a bit more viable? It could really shine if it provided a similar effect as the templar's extended ritual.

I use one piece Kena with good results. The extra spell damage aids the strength of my heals as well as the strength of my support dps. I haven't use EG, but I could see certain situations where it might come in handy. The downside is that you never know which resource your going to receive.

There is a load of other monster set styles that are already in the works for future DLCs, so let's hope some of them are healer-orientated.

I'll tell you why. Because you need 2 dps and only 1 tank/healer for dungeons. And even more dps for trials. More dps sets makes sense to cater for all those dpses, otherwise all dps will be using the same set.

Possibilities:
Set that might proc a "healing nova," a blast that does a significant amount of healing. Could have a %age proc off a crit heal.
Set that drops a shadow when healing a low health ally that gives evasion.

- Your direct heals on targets at full health grants them a damage shield equal to 30% of the amount healed for 5 seconds.
- Your direct heals have a 25% chance to grant the target 150 magicka and stamina recovery for 8 seconds.
- When you heal someone below 50% health, they gain empower to their next attack for 6 seconds.

I understand that DPS should get more options, and I agree with it. However, it would be nice to give healers a couple sets to choose from just like the tank.
