Healing Templar

DMuehlhausen

So I'm looking to start up my Healing Templar again, haven't played since it was Vr2, and I'm looking to get a fairly simple breakdown of skills and gear. All the guides I find are just pages and pages of numbers break down and why this over this.

I just need something with the skills and equipment and basic tips really. The rest I can figure out for myself.

PvP or PvE? Trials or veteran dungeons?

Just standard PvE so up to Vet Dungeons. Not really sure I'll have time to get into Trials

Well basically you need SPC Set and/or IA-Worm or whatever the other set is, but SPC u do want.
I'd say
Mage light - healing springs- Repentance - Combat Prayer or rapid regen - BoL - Warhorn
Shards, Ele drain, restoring focus, extended ritual, radiant - nova

elfborn blessed then hardy ele defender magician and the magicka recovery cp. Dungeons u can play with whatever u want really thats nothing u need a lot of set up

worm cult isnt really necessary. any mage that needs 5% cost reduction on top of other sources of reduction has a problem. i can sustainly dps on a nb with just siphon attacks, and other mages with the occassional heavy attack.

I like using Soulshine + Sanctuary on my Magplar for vet dungeons.

Even on a Wood Elf, my heals are amazing with the Sanctuary set. Soulshine allows me to help out with damage more and take hits as it is heavy armor.

I run 5 heavy, 2 light (S+B & Resto). Both sets are very easy to farm too!

Edit: Forgot to mention that I run engine guardian for help with resources.

What is the SPC set? Do I want all Light or can we do Heavy no for healing (use to only be light for the regen?) If some of these are morph skills I'm not aware of which they are.

My Templar is also currently a Imperial. They never seem to have a problem, but I can always re level one I suppose if they are truly sub par.

I run 5 SPC, 5 Worm Cult and 1 piece Iceheart. The 5% magicka reduction is absolutely fantastic, esp if you have a full magicka group.

Heal Skills are Regen, Extended Ritual, Healing Springs and Breathe of Life. I also slot Siphon Spirit.
Dps skills are Blazing Spear, Wall of Fire, Necrotic Orbs and Jesus Beam (radiant destruction).

Don't forget about utilities for the group like Elemental Drain, Combat Prayer etc.

Ultimates vary but mostly I will keep either Rite of Passage for situations that will require extra magicka free healing, but otherwise I use Ice Comet for single target DPS use (and the magicka pool boost from Mage Guild passive). 2nd ultimate I run is now the new Destro Staff ultimate. It's incredibly strong and if you are smart about stacking all your possible buffs, this thing will hit HARD on every single tick.

@DMuehlhausen SPC is Spell Power Cure set which you can get from White-Gold Tower dungeon in Cyrodiil.

i use tbs and rattle cage. this gives me 2300 mag recovery and 2600 spell damage

First of all get to cp160 before you start focussing on getting gear, as the drop rates are weird and you don't want to waste time farming for non-cp160 stuff (max gear level)

Starter Gear:
5 Julianos or Kagrenacs Hope
The rest Magnus or Torugs Pact
Willpower or Elegant jewelry

---

Weapons:

• Restoration Staff good for skills and magicka return from heavy attacks.
• Destruction Staff good if you play with players who use elemental damage type of skills.
• Dual Wield is only good for the passive skill, that boosts your spell damage. It's not a needed weapon type, but it is a good alternative to destro staff if you run with team that does not need Elemental Drain casted on bosses.

A general good setup for a mixed group (elemental & magicka damage users + stamina users) would be:
Resto staff:

• Siphon Spirit
• Blazing Spear
• Rapid Regeneration
• Healing Springs
• Breath of Life
• Ultimate: Solar Disturbance

Destro staff:

• Mystic Orb
• Repentance
• Dark Flare
• Elemental Drain
• Breath of Life
• Ultimate: Aggressive Warhorn

Bossfight >> start with casting Rapid Regeneration 2 times to cover all 4 of you, when tank reaches the boss cast Siphon Spirit on the boss. Weaponswap to destro staff and cast Elemental Drain, then do some damage and heal when it is needed, untill one of your skills run out, then recast it.
Long bossfight >> cast a Blazing Spear to the tank, so he regains stamina, and cast a few Mystic Orbs to your team mates, in case they are low on magicka, recast Siphon Spirit and Elemental Drain.
Mobfight >> start with casting Rapid Regeneration 2 times to cover all 4 of you, then when your damage dealers reach the middle of the mobs, spam Healing Springs 2 times, Blazing Spear 2 times, Healing Springs 2 times >> weaponswap and cast 2 Mystic Orbs and use repentance.
Ultimates >> use these on hard bosses, or in situations where you are about to run out of magicka and you need your teem to take a bit less damage. If your team is good, then cast them for the purpose of damage on bosses.

Thank you for making the idea clear and concise so it's easy to follow.

What is the mix of armor I should have. Does it have to be all light, or can you mix it with heavy as well?

This is why I wish they would do an outfitter system. I'm assuming you want at least 5 piece light armor, but Templars should be wearing a decent amount of Heavy for the look.

failkiwib16_ESO

@DMuehlhausen The Undaunted Mettle (passive skill) gives about 2% extra magicka, stamina and health for each armor type you wear, so it's a total of 6% more max magicka/stamina/health you get if you wear 1 medium and 1 heavy + 5 light.

Chest gives the highest armor rating for some reason, heads & legs come as second. So it's best to make chest piece heavy, and either legs or head piece medium and the rest light. 5/1/1 is best for most magicka users.. healers included.

Best in Slot healing gear is:
5 Spell Power Cure
5 Infallible Aether/ 5 Twilight Remedy
2 pieces of monster helmet + shoulder (this one depends on the team, wether they need more protection or additional damage)
(3 SPC jewelry + 1 armor piece + 1 restoration staff, 4 IA or TR armor pieces + 1 destro staff, 2 monster items (head and shoulder - this requires that you have to weapon swap to restoration staff to proc SPC, and swap to Destro staff to proc IA/TR set)

Prioritize to get 5 Spell Power Cure set, all the other sets are less demanded and more troublesome to get.

Alternatives to Infallible Aether/ Twilight Remedy sets are Worm Cult, it is not BiS, but it is desired and most healers prefer to use this. Just be aware that if your team spreads too much, they will not benefit form the Worm Cult set but at least you will.
It drops in normal and veteran Vaults of Madness, you can join pvp players to grind for Worm Cult.

@failkiwib16_ESO - Where should skill points go? I'm currently around 361 I think. I've been playing off an on since beta but haven't played since 1T launched so that's why I'm a little behind on how to build this class.

All attributes into max magicka
Use skillpoints for passives to:

• Class skill lines
• Restoration staff & Destruction Staff
• Racial skills
• Light Armor
• Medium Armor + Heavy Armor (the ones you benefit from if you only wear 1 piece not full 5)
• Dual Wield: Dual Wield Expert, Twin Blade and Blunt
• Fighters Guild: Slayer, Banish The Wicked, Skilled Tracker
• Mage guild: Mage Adept, Everlasting Magic, Magicka Controller, Might of The Guild
• Undaunted: Undaunted Command, Undaunted Mettle
• Legerdemain: Improved Hiding, Locksmith
• Alchemy: Medicinal Use

For champion points i have to take a closer look, as I don't remember what I used lol I change them recently..

ok, but the group also exists, that magicka recovery is very high and you can get the same spell damage with power cure. I doubt people get you into raids

worm is a must set ( not to have equipped all the time )
also master resto staff beats a set staff, 5,5,2 with a healer just doesn't fit nox
twilight is useless for people with trap btw

Does your max Magika number also increase the effectiveness of healing in some way? Is there a formula for this?

The power of spells increase with the resource that they cost to use, so a skill that costs Magicka will become more powerful the more Magicka you have. This also extends to healing abilities.

It's also worth noting that healing abilities can land critical hits, increasing their healing power by 50% (by default).
