Moonlight Travelers Above~ I was born a sorceress, but I belong to the light... but I do look good in red!
There charm of elder scrolls that seems to never keep me away for long is no matter what race or class you free to are able to make it work ...
even reality does not give me this. AsI sit here enjoying my first leader board item, I wanted to say, there are some issues, but I just wanted to share that's it's possible. The picture has above is Sorceress healer (I am hiding from camera)and nightblade healer (sitting down in orange glow, saying super heals got this ).
I look back and remember thinking, maybe I should reroll as a templar ... I tried... but it's still at lvl 44 ...four months later. I even thought... to give my character some justice and covert to high elf... but if you notice above both healers are bosmer. I can't speak for my counterpart... but I learned to live with weakness and strengths. As the game develops so do I.
Over time I realized how much more compatible I am with mages. Like they love me more then a lot. I keep them feed better on resources. It's mostly because I provide them with more resources and have tight grip on health bar. Also recently... I picked some sets that made me godly, but that's for another place and another time. As to say I did it... those who said... I could not
Non class - Stamina Based Support Skills
Circle of protection
A bit costly, but now that it lasts 20secs it's certainly worth it with 8% damage reduction, 10% stamina regain and reduction on dodge and roll costs. It trials there alot of moments you are grouped up or in close proximity.
Bone Shield
Only 4 people... but tell me does this not make sense in vHRC were we split up? Also I got 15k stamina and regain 750...so
Vigor
Okay you laugh... but combine it with 100 points in blessed and healing springs... I can almost out heal a burn phase...or at least I think could. But it's large aoe heal that is good to use when people are moving around...only works cause I am bosmer
Caltrops
Okay you laugh... but this saved us blackheart haven veteran... my dps well were inexperienced ... needed the mobs to slow down but I needed to heal still. It's better then encase as it lasts longer and uses different resource.
Non- Class - Magicka Support Skills
Blood altar
This one is a bit tricky and very dangerous as 1.5 secs can get you killed especially in trials. Other healer can hold heals for a sec and allies can use synergy if it got to low during this time. I don't suggest using times where teams has be ready to dodge or when you don't know the fights. It's a good to use before the fights as for me at least it heals 868ish as base heal (before critcal and restro staff boost) per enemy attacked in a second. (Thank you zos this is a cool skill though... I wish cast time was a tiny bit lower)
* heals 12 people + only heal to includings pets without a con
* (vHrc final boss) Can use before star fall or behind pillars or garoyles or boss... but have to set just after roll cause you can get caught during roll
Siphon Spirit
Takes 1.5 secs to case but gives allies health and magicka regain back (base is 400 (don't know how to add to this)) . It's okay on boss fights... but for sorcs this only a disavantage to use compared to mystic orbs
Mage Light
Critical, regain and max magicka... I don't use this but it has it's use
Neutral Non Class Support Skills
Barrier
30 to 40kish barrier, I picked the over that gives heals over time cause we already have ult reduction so there choice is not as worth it
10% magicaka Regain
War Horn
Critcals, extra magicka, stamina, health
Neutral Passives Non class support
Force Lock passive from ledgdeman - can free allies from cages in wgt
Unduanted Command - Activating an ally's synergy restores 4% of your Max Health,
Stamina
and Magicka. (bone shield, bone shield, bone shield) (allies need this)
Banished the wicked - Grants you 9 extra Ultimate when killing Undead, Daedra and Werewolves.
Sorceress support class skills
Twilight Matriarch -When it was first born.... it was but a hatchling now it's finally brings up comparisons to breath of life. In fact it's probably stronger... but it can die so it's fair.
Absorption Field - So it really doesn't negate much, but it does heal for like 40k as a base heal over 10 secs while stunning some enemies. Got to really know and test to use this right
Works on fire in EOH2, normal flame shapers, nova from final boss in vDSA, other negates. One bad things is... um when everyone rolls out of your negate thinking it's the monsters negate.
Dark Deal - 12k self heal, can use while moving around though still take a sec, but exchanges magicka while procing the passive to give minor sorcery.
Clannfer - Can use as tank and does self heal... not good in trials for healer role, but good to use in 4 man content when tank sucks or 3 dps content
Empowered ward - 10 secs shield that gives allies 10% regain in magicka, it's easy to have uptime between 70% to 100%
Encase - Not ever healer is a templar... nor are is every tank a dragonknight. Assuming your are in the back of group encase can be used for mobs in front and slow them down
Summoned Annotach - Okay I don't use this, but imagine using this synergy (25 % damage increase for 8 secs) using twilight remedy (10% critical) for 10 secs during a war horn phase as a mage user (3 spell critical) ... it's under appreciated, but maybe cause not enough sorceress healers
Passives
10% magicka regain
10% cost Reduction
3% Spell Critical to allies by using dark deal
Ult cost reduction
CP Passives support Skills
Arcane Well - 20% chance to restore magicka off of kills
Mara's Gift - Restores heal to allies on death sometimes like 7500
Field Physician - reduces time to resurrect player by 15%
Infusion - gives 300+ magicka regain to allies when rezing
...Okay why is there 2 support skills in stamina line and none for stamina users... >.>
Improvements that could be made
The lost of health when pet dies is scary, so it could be nice if health boost counted when it was on bar instead. I end up dying in trials not long after pet dies or during recast.
Emprovered ward is stingy compared to radiant aura, or even harness magicka the non class skill considering the name it wouldn't hurt if gave back magicka once destoryed or give it balance and 10% regain to stamina (mind you templars have 10% health and stamina while getting magicka steal). The shiled is also to weak in trails and I have to overcast or the pet and I will die as we both share same shield strength. (can't we both get separate shields)
Pet procs , I think pet should also give me health back when it attacks under the effects of minor life steal as it's my own skill. Also not sure if it does, but should proc shock damage passives.
Negate should negate more...it's first morph is useless or at least give us a list of what it does negate. One other note let it negate more in normal content for newbies.
Exluded pets from number count in spell power cure, warhorn, and etc, this getting more important as even dps are using pets now
Overall
I find the Sorceress class more like the traditional priestess or cleric. They excellent passives themselves to control resources while have a good range of support skills to work with any group even the weaker ones.... in conclusion my templar might forever stay at lvl 44.
P.S Thanks for the original guild who trained me Rolling Cliffhangers
