Solid Basic Healing Sets

thedude33

I am putting together my NB for PvE healing. I already use the NB for PvP healing but those sets wont work in PvE. I have been browsing and I am a bit overwhelmed. I only need to heal for dungeons, not trials. So I don't really want to farm stuff. Either craftable or purchasable.

I see there is a new crafted set called Cold Harbor. Would that work well with a good monster set like Chokethorn?

Appreciate any advice

Spell power cure + jorvulds

in pve healing is not really about HPS as 2-3k average is more than enough to get through all content, you should look into farming some normal vCR for Olorime and pair it what ever you feel is most usefull, on NB I would say something like Jorvulds or Hircine is great, though Hircine takes a lot of crystals.

There really are not any great craftable sets for healing, same for overland drops. If you want to PvE heal, you're going to have to farm.

Good news is, you can only farm four-mans and avoid the trials! Hit up Banished Cells for Sanctuary, Vault of Madness for Worm Cult, White Gold Tower for Spell Power Cure, and Scalecaller Peak for Jorvuld's. Spell Power Cure is the only one that is pretty much a must for the Major Courage buff.

There you go, four interchangeable sets that will cover everything you could ever need for dungeon healing.

Salvas_Aren

Shroud of the lich and warlock are great when combined. Pair them with chokethorn and you're good to go.

My Altmer templer runs vDSA with this gearup. I know it can be improved, but it works great.

on a nb? SPC+ julianos.

WrathOfInnos

For dungeons you’ll probably be doing some mix of damage and healing. I would recommend pairing Olorime (from Cloudrest) with either Infallible Aether (from Craglorn trials) or False Gods (from Sunspire).

Good stuff, I will read up on these suggested sets.

As mentioned, I wont be healing for trials, so I won't be acquiring Trial gear. Especially since I have never done a trial and likely never will.

Personally I thing Stendarr's Embrace is a underrated healer set for 4-man dungeon content.

In PvE dungeons most of the time no need for healing set, you want support sets instead to help the dps killing mobs faster. Apart from few vet dlc dungeons a simple mutagen+refreshingpath+bogdan will give enough continuous healing (pve healing is keeping up a steady hps, not rapid emergency healing), and you also can support it with healing springs from regen staff and blood altar and orbs from undaunted if needed. Although in practice most of the time you push out orbs for resource not for healing...

As sets, what I recommend is Olorime (far superior to SPC, but you need some practice how to place it) and Worm Cult (help the magicka players and yourself with sustain), monster set I'd recommend Bogdan generally with a spare Earthgore to switch to in harder dlc dungeons and a Valkyn Skoria for the easy base dungeons where barely any healing needed.

Edit: I just noted you'd like crafted or purchasable, unfortunately there's not much healer sets in these, most crafted and overland sets are selfish sets for yourself and not for supporting others, I'd say these days Olorime is a must for healers... That being said, Seducer+Magnus give you effectively infinite mag sustain on healer, and if you play a healer/dps hybrid then Julianos+Seducer works great. Go for 5 light 1 med 1 heavy setup. Also put a health glyph on chest and legs, you want 19-20k health for survivability (you are the healer, it's not good if you go down easily, you want a bit more health than a dps) Oh, and don'd do double resto staff, you want resto plus light destro staff (infused light staff with magicka absorb glyph), keep lightning blockade up all the time, use elemental drain on bosses and crushing shock where interrupt needed.

The reason why i use spc instead of olorime is because there are many situations where people need to keep moving or randoms who move for no reason.
Also op said "no trials".

Still Olorime better even when moving as you don't have to stay inside the ring. You just have to be inside to get the 30 sec buff, but after you get the Major Courage you can move freely out.

Oh, if you really don’t want to do trials then just go with SPC and Worm. I would recommend giving trials a shot though, on normal mode they’re no harder than dungeons, and random groups form in Craglorn zone chat all the time.

If you have NOTHING and you just hit cp 160 and want to craft gear to use that wont break your bank then for any starter magicka build I would recommend 5 pieces of Seducer, 5 pieces of Torugs Pact, and 2 pieces of Inate axiom ( head and shoulders). I would make a chest of Heavy and a legs of Medium and the rest Light. Depending on the build i would use eithe 7 magicka glyphs for armor or 4 small aromr pieces for magicka and 3 big pieces for health. And again, depending on the build i would use either 3 spell harm glyphs for jewls or 3 magicka regen glyphs for jewls. And finally, depending on the build i would use a fire or a lightning glyph for the first staff and a magicka absorb for the second staff. This will give you some decent gear to use until you can find what you want that best suits you.

I use this for all my training builds when grinding to level 50 on magicka toons. 3 and 2 trait sets most people can make fairly quickly. Dont have to spam the guild chat asking for help for much except maybe glyphs and possibly jewls when you are first starting out.

****I Have a NB HEALER**** works great.

To heal dungeons just use what ever you want that boosts your healing, a lot of people here are giving advice for sets that boost the dps of your group, (which is a good thing and what you should aim for when playing with a solid group) but in reality if you're pugging dungeons Mr Magicka dps with Bow/Bow isn't really going to benefit much


Point I'm making is if you was a Magwarden healer you could still run Necropotence+ Bright throat/crafty Alfiq with Earthgore or something and still be totally effective healing Pug Dungeons.

Really? I tried one way long ago and it seemed very mechanics specific...and I don't know the mechanics.

hehe thanks. I am an 8 trait crafter, but still low on Jewelry crafting so probably need to buy a set for Jewelry/weapons.

Cheap / easy to get too, and you get free purging, but here’s another tip:

For SPC, buy a bunch of the crystals / key frags or whatever they are, then go to the vet instance during IC celebration week so you get double rewards from the chest. That’s how I got purp SPC jewelry without having to slog through that place repeatedly. Then you just need to grab 2x reg pieces which can be from reg instance if you just upgrade them and xmute traits. If you’re lucky You might only have to enter the vet instance once solo to hit the chest for jewelry, and once on reg for other pieces. You can do it off week but might need more crystals depending on RNG but it beats running it on vet for purp jewelry.

Pair that w/ Kags or Julianos for an easy healer setup. Monster helm not critical, i run Chudan on my healer because tanks don’t always grab the mobs they need to. You can probably go with whatever is at the golden vendor this week if you just zerg surf with a healing staff for some AP.

Plenty of other good mentions but this is a setup you can have with just one run of WGT.

This is a good list to consider. I would suggest Either Spell Power Cure as one of the sets. Olorime provides the same buff but unless you are running with a regular group and know how to place the buff you will have a much lower up time of that buff than with SPC.

Even though it has been out for a year many do not recognize the buff on the ground and it is often placed poorly. When filling in with raid groups that have a new healer I have pointed out to the raid leader that the healer needs help understanding how to heal with that set.

SPC with either Jorvulds, Worm, Mending, or sanctuary are probably good to work with.

Except that you pretty much have to farm all of these sets.

The OP was trying to get away from that ... and purchase or craft basic PvE healing gear. And the OP isn’t doing Trials.

@Synnastix proposes the best setup given those constraints.

There is probably enough Crafty Alfiq at the guild traders now to use as a sustain back bar set.

maxterhex

BTW, if U play as NB-healer, it's mean U like some mad things. Try to use Mighty Glacier`s (via weapon/jewerly), Phoenix, Kagrenac >.<

Sanctuary + Olorime > SPC > Worm.

Anything other than using Sanctuary is making you a buff bot not a healer.

Synnastix

Sanctuary + Olorime > SPC > Worm

Have to farm all that stuff. You can Stendarr + Kags without ever setting foot in an instance. Kags + SPC with minimal farming and is a solid setup.

I main heal norms w/ this combo and have no real probs:

Shadow Dancer + Julianos

Max cp makes a difference but the point I’m trying to make is you can get started healing without ever setting foot inside a group area.

You could mix & match a few rando sets to get started, but Kags gives helpful sustain + res speed if someone dies while you’re learning and Stendarr gives you purges which may or may not be helpful but it’s nice to have. Stendarr can usually be found cheap, say 2-4k for purp jewels so you can get the set for <15k then just make Kags.

Heck if you got 6 traits researched in jewels you could just do Juli / Kags and be fine, just be expensive to make the jewelry non-white. Totally a “I made dis” outfit but functional.

Iskiab

If you’re just getting started then just grab 2 magicka 5 piece sets. 2 pieces willpower or whatever, doesn’t matter. I think I used 5 mother’s sorrow and 5 Julianus when I started.

Everything else you’ll need to get from dungeons or trials. Maybe a good setup would be Julianus and... whatever.

Use the ritual mundus (increased healing) or crit mundus. Buff your health so it’s above 18k, put the other points in magicka. 2x recovery glyphs should be fine, if you struggle change all 3 to magicka recovery.

If you’ve healed pvp then pve will be easy, just don’t stand in red and make sure you pump orbs a lot. Orbs are more important for NBs and an absolute must for a NB pve healer.

If you’re talking the absolute best sets in game? Orlorime and Iceheat, maybe with mending. Be careful with sap essence, I draw aggro on trash all the time which is why I wear Iceheart.

Healing output and sustain are non-issues on a NB healer. The issue is moreso the lack of synergies, so use all your healing sets for your own survivability and group support.

For dps be sure to light attack weave and you should aim for 10k dps ST, 20-40k aoe.

new healing set coldharbor favorite where you can dps and heal should be fun and good choice. >..> these people have no imagination....only one heal needs to use olorime anyways. So you aren't really burdened later if you decided to do other content. Chokthen is really good choice for dungeon healing. It procs very often.

Hmm if you just want something crafted then redrisbutor is okay set which is craftable. I really do think you would have fun with destructive mage set on your nightblade but at last a trial set and something to farm. I do think if you do enough dps you will offset need for major courage buff in dungeons, so there are other options to consider. If you have sustain issue go with bright thoart a purchasble set or if you want bigger heals go with crafty (new set).

Ysbriel

Easy craftable, purchasable combinations can be
Magnus gift and Vanus set, Warmaidens and Innate axiom. Magnus and Naga Shaman. I personally used the Warmaidens/innate axiom combination with my templar healer till i switched the innate for sanctuary, and i did each and every vet content including Dragon Star arena with that no problems at all until i got the masters staff and switched to olorime/infalible combination.

Totally agree, I crafted this set yesterday and it's fun. I love Warden's nature grasp which perfectly correspond with this set. You are chaining to your fellow, Cadwell's "Love" proc and heal get min you and you ally. Then, there is chance to proc Bogdan or Choke (not BIS but didnt have time latelly to drop other) and your ally is at full heal. Second set on PVE depends on what you are lacking. On PvP on second set I'll add to this combo a Mad Tinkerer becouse there is nothing better to see than zerg in the air! Scr*** meta - FUN IS ALL I NEED!

Olorime is a bad set to suggest to anyone just starting out in healing and even worse if they are not going to run with a regular group. So many healers place the buff poorly and many players either do not recognize the buff or refuse to take a single step to gain it even it is does not equate to a loss of dps.

I am not saying it is a bad set, but it is not good for a new healer.

Easy to get, Mag regen + Max Magicka x2 and free purge.

I run Worm's and Stendarr on my Healer. Haven't tried healing vDLC on him, but vTrials off-healer worked like a charm.
