For leveling purposes, I found it easy to have a mostly healing bar for when you group a dps bar for soling.

You should probably have all the passives. If you have been finding all the skyshards and doing all the dungeons, at level 43 you should have a lot of extra skill points as long as you not trying every craft too on one character.

And finally I would suggest just playing your class and seeing what spells what you like. I think its fine to follow someone elses build at the end game, but as you level up you should try and play yourself and see how things work. Then when you follow those end game builds you know what works and why their picking stuff and maybe you can modify to fit your own play style better.

I have the same build.

1) Breath of Life should never leave your bar.
2) Repentance should never leave your bar.
3) Restoring Aura should always be your Ultimate.
4) Everything else is just what you feel like at that point.
5) I prefer 7 heavy armor. I'm weird. I believe that it's more important for me to be survivable than to cast an extra spell or 3. Your mileage may vary but it got me to the top 2% of Chillrend which is a veteran campaign.
6) Dump all of your points into health.

With this set up I've only been 1 shotted by a non-siege weapon once. A VR14 hit me with "detonation" just yesterday. You can even take a ballista to the face and, sometimes, live to tell about it.

For what it's worth my full set up is Breath of Life, Triple Fire Ball (Sun Fire?), Silver Shards, Repentance and Biting Jabs. My second bar is BoL, SF, SS, rapid maneuvers and whatever I'm randomly leveling. The Resto Staff has not added anything to my game heal wise. I'm using a destruction staff (with no equipped abilities) as my main and my secondary is whatever flavor of the day I'm going with.

I can figure the most passive abilities but where do the active ones come from if I may ask, and are any of them morphed? This seems to be my biggest issue when searching online for a build, since I have no idea where these abilities come from.

@Ljungstroem first of all: I really like your nice post (not joking here). You stated what you want to do, what you have at the moment and asked very nicely. I like that!

If someone mentions an ability you don't know, you can try and google for "name of skills + eso". That usually does the trick for me. There are websites which will tell you, which skill is morphed from which other skill. Remember that some people (like me) morphed these skills over a year ago and may not remember what the basic skill was called.

As daniel stated: Breath of Life should never leave your bar.

Your main healing skill will be Healing Springs. It is morphed from Grand Healing, the first skill in the restoration staff skill line. This skill stacks, so you can cast it a few times and have some nice area healing.
So all in all: Breath of Life and Healing Springs are the main healing skills. Everything else depends on the situation.
Important skills are: Repentance, Combat Prayer, Siphon Spirit, Rapid Regeneration/Mutagen.
But remember that your second job as a healer is also to do damage.

As a healer your ultimate normally is Nova and you can also use meteor from the mages guild skill line to do some damage yourself. The healing ultimate is not recommended. I know no good healer who uses it. The nova gives damage reduction and isn't channeled so you can move freely and does AoE damage on top.

Looking at the armor passives, I like to do a combination of 5 pieces light armor and 2 pieces of heavy armor. This grants some extra survivability while having a nice amount of magicka and magicka regeneration. Some use 7 pieces light armor and others 5 light and 1 medium and 1 heavy for the undaunted passives.

Edit: If you have some specific questions, you can PM me.

@DschiPeunt
Thanks a ton for the kind words and your great reply!

I will look into trying to get these skills.

I can see that I have chosen to morph into Honor The Dead instead of Breathe of Life. Is this gonna hurt me and should I consider respec in the future when I have finally decided what exactly skills I want?

Also right now I am level 42 blacksmithing and can craft my own heavy armor and therefore I am wearing 7 pieces with all the passives. I know this is not good for leveling but is it good for being a tank and a healer?

Short answer is: yes, it is going to hurt you and you should respec it.
I know that Honor the Dead is a tempting skill, especially when playing and leveling on your own. But if you run in a group, and you do a dungeon or (later on) a trial, Breath of Life is your so called "Oh snap"-button. It costs too much to make it your main healing ability and one only wants to use it, when things get out of hand. That's why basically every healer I know has this skill on both skill bars, to access it asap when needed.
Imagine running a dungeon with 3 other people. If you all get high damage over a short time, you want that flash-heal to keep your group alive. That is way easier when 3 people are healed at the same time.
Simply speaking: If you have to use your flash-heal, you don't care about magicka costs, but about keeping the group alive.

Heavy armor is good for tanking, which you can do very good with an Imperial templar. But for healing you miss a lot of magicka regeneration and cost reduction when you don't use light armor. That will make magicka sustain a big problem, especially in long boss fights.

You can respec all your skill points or only your morphs at a shrine to stendarr. You can find one in every alliance main city: Elden Root, Wayrest or Mournhold, depending on your faction.

Nobody uses the healing ultimate? I love that thing. Haha. It only costs 150 ultimate and so I can cast it almost once a minute. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it.

On a side note, thanks for the info on the Resto staff heal. I didn't know it stacks. Makes way more sense now why people love it.

This thread should be renamed "Imperial Templars 201: How to Use Other Spells". Haha.

I used the healing ultimate too, but there are better options. If you channel it, you don't block. When using healing springs, you can cast them from block. Also the nova has the higher damage reduction. So all in all if you block-cast healing springs and use a nova, you have a "better version" of the healing ultimate.

You're very welcome. I got another nice info, some may not know: healing springs actually ticks 4 times. It heals, when casted and every second for the next 3 seconds.

Thanks a lot for that. On my next respec I will make sure to implement all of this good stuff!

I keep the healing ultimate on my 2nd bar for situational times. Once you're high enough you have plenty of skill points and can afford to use them on "I use it sometimes" skills.

As an imperial templar healer in almost heroes the top DC pve guild my setup is as follows for trials and dungeons
gear : 5 healer ( 3 jewelry ) hat and shoes
4 magnus( trials ) with nirnhoned trait/ 4 martial knowledge for anything besides trials
1 destro nirnhoned 1 resto precise and 1other piece torugs pact ( heavy armor chest )

For skill setup i have a general heal bar consisting of springs combat prayer purifying ritual and BoL
for trials destro bar always has elemental drain so dps dont take it and either mystic orb ( necrotic orb morph ) or repentance depending on what the other healer has.

For dungeons heal bar is same but usually i am at destro bar with pulsar radiant oppression crushing shock and breath of life
ww not needed but helps. All enchants are magicka.
