Question about healing

pod88kk

Hey everyone,
I've just made a Breton Templar and I plan on playing them as a healer, mainly for pledges.
My main question is what type of gear should I be using and are there any particular skills that are a necessity? Also should I just go for healing or should I be able to do some dps as well?
Ive always played as dps so I know that positioning is key during dungeons to make the healers job a bit easier but I'm wondering if there are any other tips or tricks I need to know?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any advice.
Happy questing everyone

the above build is also not for trials...completely different build there.
combat physician is easily farmed in wayrest sewers (veteran for purple jewels/ narmal for blue jewels). find a group of buds and run in there. after about five runs you should have everything you need. the LAST BOSS is the only boss that drops the weapons and jewels. ALSO noted that if you run through WR2 vet, you have a chance on the ghost boss to have him drop his NAMED neck, so an extra chance at getting the jewels faster if you run the second version of the instance.

Gear, whatever benefits a caster will make a healer better, unless you really want to focus on healing (not really needed but can help your build once you know how to heal). Everything else, see the following, and yes there is some tanking information too

Make sure you have a rejuvenate staff and your other option can vary based on how you plan to play as a Templar can heal without a staff but the healing staff skills and passives are pretty good to add in.

I'd say to make sure you look at a few guides too based on One Tamriel

How you build really depends on how you will be grouping up. If you're grouping with friends then it's usually easier for the healer to focus on buffing the group and helping with DPS. If you're pugging then you'll likely be spending more time keeping people alive than doing anything else.

As for gear you can't beat Spell Power Cure from White Gold Tower, but that can be a little difficult when you are starting out. Crafted sets like Seducer, Kagrenac's, Julianos, etc all work well when starting out.

My general rule while healing is to do these things in this order:

1. Never run out of magicka, if you do everybody dies.
2. Keep everyone healed up.
3. Keep everyone buffed up.
4. Contribute to DPS whenever you can.

Well if you have to craft, go Seducers-5 Magnus-4 Allows you to wear a helm combo...

If you have that already crafted, i recommend Spell power Cure-5 and Gossamer-5(on dw offbar if you have trouble)
- ive found this great for vPVE dungeons as regen is at 3k/s and your heals buffs REALLY add to your groups capabilities.

Trial setups are different and often healers wear gear to compliment each other, so advice will not be effective for the hundred combos available

The spell power cure and infallible mage combo is very powerful for a buff healer. Keep spc up, combat prayer your dps, infall all targets that you can, warhorn when available and repeat as necessary. A good healer will add a solid 15k dps to a good group without ever firing a direct attack. Should be noted that buffing the dps of bad groups will still result in bad dps, so having a backup dps bar would be good.

If your party is primarily magicka dps, then use siphon spirit and ele drain. They will pretty much not run out of magicka even with low regen builds.

Spell power cure is your BiS set, if not then you can pick up Healers Habit pretty cheap and also Shadow Dancer is an option. Also can buy Willpower for Jewellery and weapons. Crafted sets Julianos and Seducer.
Destro and Resto staff for weapons.
Resto skills i like Rapid regen, healing springs, channelled focus, repentance, extended ritual. (Combat prayer is an option)
Destro i use inner light, crystal shards, elemental drain, breath of life and jesus beam. (Swap Puncturing sweeps for elemental drain if more dps is required)

NONONONONONOO....if you are healing pugs, kagrenacs hope is an absolute MUST. pugs suck, they don't stay alive, being able to rez them in 3-4 seconds is VERY nice. second, as a templar, you have an awesome option to you....don't use a resto staff, go with a sword and shield. my set up is this

X5- combat physician- jewelry/mag regen enchants, sword precice, shield reinforced (spell power cure is also REALLY GOOD probably better...unless they remove the cap to the shields at one at a time)
x5- kags hope- chest, legs, gloves, boots, belt. all light, all mag, infused/big, divine/small
X2- any....and i mean any moster set here...they all suck for you...ooo maybe a damage set like skoria?

stack blessed CP, stack mag regen, stack mag.

now this is a REALLY easy set up to get into. you could also buy four transmutation pieces for jewels and shield, with a random precise sword, to be easier to get into. i choose to run a resto staff bar on my off bar for combat prayer skill, mutagen.

bar one healing- sword and shield: ritual of retribution (if wearing skoria...if not extended ritual morph), channeled focus, repentance, inner light, breath of life. (bar one flex spots are inner light/ repentance) can also heal tank certain/most pledges, just swap inner light with taunt of your choice. move around health with the respec stone, BOOM ur a heal/tank

bar two healing- resto staff: mutagen, combat prayer, blazing spear, orb, structured entropy.



things to consider, while you CAN heal gold hardmode pledges with this set up, you are not optimized....and you don't deal damage, but it is GREAT fun
