Thoughts on Stamina Warden healers?

Can any of the various % Healing Done sets outperform the Weapon Damage granted by PA + SPC strictly regarding the strength of Spores?

Stam Warden healer are the only viable Stam healer.

It got stamina based burst heal, HOT and for ulti you can easily go barrier/horn.
You also heal on light and heavy attacks.

You can clear any 4 man content with it.

I wouldn't take it to Trials though.

Healing sets are magicka based and you'll want perfected resto if possible and combat prayer is a must.

no, hybridizing is NOT the solution. The WARDEN as a pure bow/bow healer without staves is fine (green lotus, and lots of LA). There are more than enough stam based class heals to do the job. As soon as you hybridize, you just cut yer effectiveness in 1/2.

You have to hybrid.
There's no stamina compensation for Energy Orb and Combat Prayer. Two of the most fundamental spells for any healer.

If you go into vet with your healer and don't bring sustain to your team, your setup is seriously flawed. That's half of your job not being fulfilled.

I highly appreciate everyone who isn’t running the meta, tries something different and is sticking to it. I‘m sick and tired of everyone wearing the same sets, having the same race and using the same bar layout.

So absolutely, Stamina Warden healers are more than welcome and good job on everyone playing this and making it happen.

On stamsorc you can off-heal with Ring of preservation + Power Surge + Echoing Vigor. You can slot Absorption Field. It's all HoTs but good HoTs. Play Khajiit for higher power surge heals.

If you have mag DDs there should be orbs in group already, you can still wear like PA/Symphony and the new set for minor berserk after the update (Kinras's Wrath). Debuff armor with Crystal Weapons, etc.

It should be ok'ish as long as you have a good group, it might fall short in burst heal situations. I think I'll kidnap some guildies and take them into like vMGF HM with me as a stam healer, for science. It's the most healing intensive dungeon I can think of, for limit testing.

Otherwise, stam warden healer could work as a healer, but probably not that great as a support, since most DDs are magicka. But I think a stam healer in a stamina group could work okay depending on the content, you can still cast orb with a low mag regen if everything else is stam based.

StamWarden works fine, you won't run into Ressource problems if you use spell symmetry. Finding a good second support set aside from Powerful Charge is tricky, though.

And if the PvE guys don't accept you, any PvP raid more or less REQUIRES a StamWarden to be the emergency healer.
