I just reckognized the other poll will be biased because Templar will obviously be the answer for the healer you see the most in ESO (that's why I excluded it from the voting options here).

So we're trying the other way:

    Definitely Sorcerer. Mainly because they have the fewest number of group healing Class skills, so it makes sense. DK is in the runner-up, though my guild has two prominent healer magDKs, hence my vote for sorc.

    I mean, I just see less Dks in general, not just a healer thing, the class is seriously not being played much other than trial tanking.

    Edit: I'd say sorcs are a close second after Dk, for healer numbers. I've actually seen people play DK healers in PvP, but never a sorc healer sadly.

    I'd say sorc or DK. Nightblades are among the best healers in game.

    They can support in damage, while providing enough healing and damage reduction to others to stay alive
    NB enthusiastic:
    1. Woodhippie stamblade - DW hard-hitter / PvE
    2. Know-it-all elf Magblade - Healer / PvE & PvP
    3. Hate-them-all elf Magblade - Destrostaff AoE monster / PvE
    4. Cyrodiil-Refugee stamblade - Stamina Tank / PvE

    Go dominion or go home

    I've seen every type of healer on PS4 except DK healers.

    I see more Sorc Healer nowadays than NBs surprisingly and Warden/Templar healers are a dime a dozen but DK healers might as well be Unicorns.

    dk. And I have one (healer). They are a lot of fun - 'shield' healer as opposed to a lot of fun nb 'kill' healer.

    I see lots of sorceror healers (have those too); quite versatile. Templars, obviously, but I find them rather boring to play, although the best templar healers, in my experience, are usually played by those who have healed with the other classes.

    It's a pity I don't see more dk healers as they bring a lot of utility. I think they are also a perfect complement for pve nb tanks as they can, among other helpful abilities other than pure healing, chain relentlessly due to higher magicka and can provide other cc that is conspicuous in its absence for pve nb tanks.

    A 4k cost 3s of mending is almost useless. Best of just casting the heal 2x. The tank deals with the DK buffs/debuffs, and cauterize is absolutely useless. Big heal, but random ST every 5s? Utterly useless in practice,

    Sorc and Templars I see most during random normals. Quite a few wardens over time in either vet or normal. Nightblades are getting rarer over time. In about 3 years and 4000 hours I have seen maybe 10 dk healers.

    Anyone who says sorc... here you go. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/349428/sorcerer-healers-collection-the-dungeon-edition#latest

    They been buffed last three or four patches. They have a support set this patch that is inclined to then.

    I play a MagDK Healer in PVP, but I've only ever seen one other DK healer in a group dungeon, and they were a level 16 noob who wasn't even using any skills with their resto staff. I wanted so badly to give them tips but they weren't responding in group chat to anything so I just let it slide.

    I specced my mag DK as a healer for a while to level some things. I got a few horrified whispers that I was on the worst class for healing, and I've never encountered another DK healer in-game. It was interesting to play and was capable of handling vet dungeons when I got the hang of it.

    and becuase igneous shield don't stack, so if your tank is a dk, which it will be 60%+ of the time, you will take his 10k+ shield and replace it with your 1-2k shield and that is no good.

    Just for the record at 66k health my tank gives 6kish shield to allies and 18kish to self. So assuming it's like 1k per every 10k health then again do gives 3k to 4k shield so do health would probably give around 2k. Making difference not as bad. Plus do healer would have better uptime.

    Not sure what you are saying here, all I know is if my tank was playing with a DK healer that had 17k health and replaced my 10k (i have around 30K health) shield with their 1.7k shield, because it is 10% of your max health for your allies that is tripled for you, that I would be pissed and prolly hit vote to kick faster then if it was a Stam warden Healer.
