Overall best healer? Templar vs Warden vs Necro

Kwik1

So I got my Bowcro working well, now I have a few questions about healers.

Between Templar vs Warden vs Necro, how would everyone rate them as healers both from the tanks PoV as well as the healers PoV?

Necro seems to me to have the best ultimate in tough trials if people are dying very often, but the point of a healer is to not let them die. Of course the problem tends to be DPS who wander off on their own and aren't getting hit by heals, and I am not sure how the heals work from the necro line, but they seem dependant on always having corpses which is fine for trash fights, but what about boss fights?

Templar has some great burst heals as well as shards, plus I love Channeled Focus and Purifying light,and I would mainly be using Warhorn most likely and Solar prison?

Warden has a nice healing ultimate in Enchanted Forest which seems to always be up, seriously Warden ultimates seem to come back really fast with no effort. Warden specific skills like Enchanted Growth and Budding Seeds are nice heals and Blue Betty is always nice.

I am leaning to Warden or Templar right now. I always thought Warden would have the best sustain, but playing my Templar in basic gear for healers, I don't ever seem to have resource issues.

Anyone got any opinions on which class stands above the others? I tend to be a healer that focuses on heals mainly so I am not interested in doing high DPS and heals at the same time, I just don't have the attention span for that.

Warden the best

Templar and Warden are the ones sought by Trial Teams for PvE ... PvP is pretty similar.

Thanks!!! Now I just need to decide on which I enjoy healing more on. Looks like I am leveling both...

Necros arent great healers since all their good stuff is already covered by necro dds.

Templar is best, though barely. Cleansing ritual is such a powerful ability and the other morph is great on live cus the damage is nice. Shards are a great damage ability that healers dont sacrifice much for, you have potl minor sorc and nova options if you dont have a templar dd. They are also extremely tanky, my templar healer has capped spell resists.

Warden provides minor vuln if no warden dds as well as minor toughness. Trees are situationally helpful as well. Beyond that rheir raw healing output is similar to templar depending on what you do.

I am actually playing around with a NP healer, but to be fair, most of his healing is not from class abilities.

The real argument for Necro over templar or warden is that they are better at building Ultimate, so for certain content, they are useful ulti-bots. For actual healing, Templar and Warden are better.

Necro are good for pure healing and debuffing enemies. They dont touch templars with sustain buffs though. You dont have to worry about corpses because you can make your own, plus they have one of the longest HoT and one of the best purges in the game.

Templar:
-Easy healing with Ritual
-Access to minor debuffs if there is no stamplar in the group
-On demand resource restore for tanks, opposed to slow moving orbs
-Additional purge synergy
-Gives minor sorcery

Warden:
-Easy healing with grass
-100% uptime on minor vulnerability
-Highest single target burst heal in the game rivalled only by NB (useful in sunspire for example)
-Minor endurance and intellect on base heal
-Gives minor toughness

Necro:
-Heal that can purge, but need a corpse mechanic
-Tether heal that is powerful, but at your location and require corpse
-Pet that heals for you (if it works)
-Access to Major Vulnerability if there is not enough necro dds in the group
-Very fast ult generation
-2 extra synergies for the group
-When your group is trash, you can use res ult to salvage some of the wipes

There is no "best", only different purposes.

Templar: Major Maim (Nova), Purge and large heal area (Cleansing Ritual), Power of the Light (Minor Fracture/Breach), Minor Sorcery passive, Faster resurrection speed passive, strongest healing.

Warden: Minor Toughness just for healing, Minor Vulnerability (Fetcher Infection), Group Sustain (Enchanted Growth), Major Protection (Permafrost), Group Major Resolve (Frost Cloak), strong healing

For raw healing, I think the templar is tops. Templar also has more heals that are not directional heals, meaning when you are dealing with an encounter that requires everyone to be highly mobile, it is easier to keep everyone healed on a templar than it would be on a warden.

However, if you are aiming to maximize group buffs, then a warden edges out the templar. Typically, this is why trial groups will have one templar healer and one warden healer.

Warden, and I have a healer of every class. Each healer has their strength, but in PvP esp. Warden...

This has good overview.

Infallible mage set on Templar which gives you the Minor vulnerability eventually too. https://eso-sets.com/set/infallible-mage

It works even better than the other healers in Pvp, you just need the correct build

Purifying Light is no longer a strong healer skill, because it no longer copies other players' damage.
