Transmutation and Spell Power Cure, imo is the best combination overall. Monster Set: Earthgore or Troll King.

Both of these setups are light armor, however.

You can get away with light armor in a PvP large raid group if the healer is experienced.

But, I wouldn’t recommend light armor for small group, battlegrounds, solo, non-CP, if the player is new to the healing role, or if the player is low CP.

Why?

The lack of resistances and low health (with two light armor sets) ... even with the Transmutation buff active. The days of running around Cyrodiil with 20k health are long gone.

Transmutation plus a heavy set, however, is quite a nice setup.

Transmutaion is a must, plus is easy to get in Jewelry and Weapons. If he need Surviva, he can get Heavy Fortified Brass and thats it. If he is good enough to survive without Heavy, then go for Spell Power Cure.

Olorime >>>>>>> SPC

Go to Cyrodiil. Tell me how many people will stand in Olorime. I actually want to know.

Hi there - I have PvPed pretty extensively in zergs/smallscale/organised raid groups, I'm at rank 40 in the Alliance War and I will tell you, even in disorganised zergs, Olorime helps more than SPC. It's effectiveness increases even more if you have a healer smart enough to place it somewhere good.

Example: Your alliance rushes a main gate or breach - a healer places olorime on that breach/main gateway - now every single member of your alliance who goes through that breach has major courage.

With SPC, you'd be lucky to get major courage on just 1 of those players considering it only has a 50% proc chance and players have to be at full health (which in Cyrodil during sieges is super unlikely with all the siege damage and enemy sniping).


There is a very weird misconception that Olorime can only be used for organised groups but that just isn't true. It is the healer who has to use their brain to place Olorime in intelligent places where people will walk and receive the buff - whether that's a giant zerg, your 4 man smallscale BG group or your 12 man raid group.

Zergs are actually super predictable. Everyone always goes to Alessia Bridge. You can easily get Olorime to proc on everyone that goes through the doorway to get over the bridge. It's super easy once you've been pvping a while and you don't even have to tell people where to stand because you place Olorime where you already know they will be going. Even if you don't know, just place it in the middle of a group and you already have better major courage uptimes than SPC even if it only hits 3 people.
