Best Zerg Healer

thedude33 · December 2017

Now that the XP bonus has been announced, it is time to make another alt. I would like to create a tanky healer type to heal while pvp zerg surfing. I have a Sorc that I use at times but am thinking a Warden or Templer likely are more tanky since they can still heal with a shield.

What would the pvp experts recommend ?

Thanks

Argonian or Breton.

Argonian, good healing buffs, also gives you nice health buff and sustain buff. And their resistance racial makes them immune to the Major Defile from Disease Damage and the Poison secondary DoT proc from Poison Damage. Aka they are immune to the secondary effect of Disease and Poison, really good against stamina characters.

What about Warden or Templar ?

Temp for straight heal tank bot. Warden for tank buff/debuff.

If you are zerg surfing Temp for that AP leach.

If you make warden argonian you can turn him in dd or tank later. Templar has less options.

Agreed, a Warden Argonian also has the added bonus of having a lot of healing done bonuses to stack, and a Warden Tank is as you say a really really good backup both for PvP and PvE.

If you are zerg surfing warden will hands down be the best because of their vine for movement

For true "zerg healing" you are most likely looking at AOE heals rather than Breath of Life, so really any class will work. I'd probably think about Warden (for the pull-to-friendly heal that can save your butt if you drop behind the zerg) or a sorc (streak can fulfill a very similar purpose).

I have a sorc that I could use. I like the idea of being able to heal while S/S are up and using destro on back bar. Can't do that with sorc.

Leaning towards Warden I guess. Magic probably best I assume.

Agreed with you both. I tried DD for my Warden, don't like it. But StamWarden w/ off Heals or Tank for PvP / PvE? It feels amazing.

Small scale and solo PvPers gets "love" all the time, I mean they are in almost every PvP thread, hard to get rid of them really. Let zerg runners have their.

Rolled a magicka Warden. Level 12 currently. Not feeling it for some reason.

You have almost none of the fun class defining heals yet...

Spiderman/tarzan heal is when it gets fun, imo.

DD stands for Damage Dealer, which is a term that is less used than DPS but makes more sense since DPS means Damage Per Second, but has become what most people call those that deal the most damage. This is not specific to ESO of course, so many MMOs use them all but DPS seem to be the most common term for it regardless of MMO.
