Best Armour sets for Magicka based Healer + Tips for a healer?
Ljungstroem
✭✭✭
Hello Everyone,
I am an Imperial Templar and I am looking into getting myself better equipped for my healing.
Right now I am wearing 5 light armour pieces and 2 heavy with 5 pieces of The Warlock set and 5 pieces of The Seducer set, but I am feeling I am missing out somewhere due to my lack of knowledge about the game.
What sets in the game and possibly other combinations could be beneficial to me for both craftable and non-craftable armour sets in the game.
I am also taking all tips regarding healing!
Thank you in advance.
Good day,

✭5-Piece VR12 Warlock + 5-Piece VR14 Healer's Habit + VR14 Master's Restoration Staff is one possible combination. It's a little high-end, but it works nicely. You can substitute a different restoration staff, as that one is a little out of the reach of most players, but the other set pieces are easily obtained.2 -

Thanks a lot Akavir!
However I am about to be V5 so do I have any other choices than what I have already perhaps?0 -

I don't have any suggestions for lower level sets. I don't bother putting together sets for a particular build that isn't max level.0 -

Alright thank you a lot!
What if I wanted to swap the Healers Habit for something that is more DPS based for basic question/messing around, because the Warlock set seems like a nice addition no matter what, but Healers Habit is just for healing as I asked for?0 -

For your level, instead of Healer's Habit, you could go with VR5 Syrabane. Yes, the Healer's Habit set is just for healing, but that is what you requested.0 -
likewow777✭✭✭You can try crafting stuff if you can't quite get those sets. Stuff like Seducer's, Torug's Pact, Magnus', are all used by healers to various degrees. The two piece from Torug's and 4 piece from Magnus' both grant spell damage and max magicka, which help hit harder for healing and DPS, if you want.
EDIT: Also, Martial Knowledge is a nice set for increasing magicka based damage/heals. It's VR11+, so you can't quite use it yet, but I do know healers that use Martial in their build.Edited by likewow777 on July 23, 2015 10:33PM"War doesn't build character, it reveals it."0 -

OzJohnD✭✭✭✭Getting a decent amount of drop sets can be challenging, crafted sets are the way to go until you can regularly "farm" dungeons for end game set gear.
I'm a casual so I rely 100% on crafted set combinations.Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

✭✭✭✭I roll an Imperial Templar healer. Breath of Life, Practiced Incantation, lots of health points, and all heavy armor makes me one of the hardest people to kill around. Add that to a couple of staves so I can quickly regenerate magic, and all magic enchants and I'm healing like crazy.
If you'd rather heal 100 people in 30 minutes than 20 people in 2 minutes go my way. Much better than riding your horse all the time.0 -

Guild
thought so, just checking ... because when you say vendor some might presume its a set purchasable from an NPC vendor, like PvP items with Alliance points. I have found it a challenge to get the set pieces I might want, takes a bit of time wandering around the Guild stores to find them.

yep, as with most MMOs, the PvP game and the PvE game is totally different requiring different specs and gear setups.

✭✭For endgame I'd recommend 5 Healer, 4 Martial Knowledge, 2/3 Torugs Pact or, If you want to do a bit more damage, 2 Cyrodiil's Light + 2 Adroitness + Master Weapon instead of Healer.
For lower vet ranks I'd use 5 Sanctuary, 2 Adroitness, 2 Worm Cult, 2/3 Torugs Pact. If you don't have Worm Cult you could use 3 Syrabane's Grip + 1/2 Torugs Pact or 4/5 Magnus instead.1 -
Flaminir✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭There are two schools of thought when it comes to healer gear:
1. Go for full regen... sets like seducer or Warlock,,,, so you have crazy high regen & can spam all day without thinking.
2. Go for spell power. This makes you heals bigger & more powerful so you need fewer of them.
In reality... I find that a mix is the best. At the top level Healers Habit is good as people say, but while levelling just try & look for a mix of spell power and max magicka and/or regen.
Personally I LOVE the 4 piece Magnus gift set as it gives you all three of those things that you need, and is crafted so v v cheap. You can Run V1 warlock jewellery for ages, so you could use that for magicka & regen. Syrabane also comes in V5 and gives you magicka, regen and spell damage... You could get both 4 piece magnus & syrabane in, as well as another 3 piece.... maybe warlock.GM of the Unholy LegacyPC/EU/EP4 -

Lord Xanhorn✭✭✭✭5 pc Seducer 3 pc Magnus is all you need. Trust me on that one. Everything else is optional and can only make the build better but all the content in the entire game can be healed with 5/3 seducer/magnus.I'm kind of a small deal!0

Oh my God, do not listen this guy, you can do great with 5 lights, one medium and one heavy for the undaunted passives. Full heavy armor healers are the worst around, stop doing that, you suck in a superlative way.2 -
But seriously, meanwhile you are leveling up start practicing with a full healing bar and another dps one with Dual Wild, because for endgame purposes, a healer have to dps well too. That is why I have too builds, one for outstanding healing values (to keep people alive mostly with Hots) and one with a Lil less healing values but much more spell damage for big ass dps focused in trials like VDSA for a good score.
And I also have an Imperial Templar ☺0 -

All light armour can work, you just have to be aware and block/dodge appropriately. If so I'd suggest using Channeled Focus or similar from the Restoring Light skill tree for some bonus to your defense.Ljungstroem wrote: »danielpatrickkeaneub17_ESO wrote: »Throw away the light armor and go 7/7 heavy.

I tried 7/7 heavy and it just did not work as good as light armour.
Seducer's Set works very well, I used that for a long time 5/5 in all light armour, I also played around with Spectre's Eye for a while too for that added bonus to help defense.
After a while though, you'll find you'll (hopefully) need less and less magicka reduction/regeneration equipment as you'll practically never run out of magicka, and will as a result be able to focus a bit more on increasing spell power. Using a Restoration Staff heavy attack in battle helps sustainability a lot too. The min/maxers will tell you to equip dual-weapons because they're on paper better, but it just feels fundamentally wrong for me, an melee is fraught with danger at times (and at others basically impossible) so I stick to the staff.
Personally, it varies of course on play style and the healing skills you use, but at the moment I'm using Torug's Pact 2/5, Martial Knowledge 4/5, and Healer's Habit 5/5, and that works quite well for me. Some of these sets (as stated by others above) you will be unable to get until higher veteran rank.If you can be anything, be kind.2 -

I really appreciate all your answers it helps a great ton!
Can anyone help me with a good healer setup on my action bar, because right now I have just messed around on my own with a few skills that I like. I have done quite good in dungeons but I am sure I could do a lot better!
This is my healer action bar:
Inner Light
Rapid Regeneration
Binding Javelin
Healing Springs
Breath of Life
Ultimate: Remembrance
I quite like this one but I am sure I could adjust it. Any help would be appreciated towards this!
Also if you swap anything out can you explain why and such so I have a better understanding why?
Good day,

Ok... my bars are setup as follows... The idea is to have a resto bar bar for my main healing, and then a destro bar which I use for buffs / dps.
Remember, as a healer you also need to provide a bit of damage, and also help buff your group.
Resto Bar
Healing Springs - main area heal... cheap & spammable & stackable.
Breath of Life - Obvious
Combat Prayer - Your group does more damage... so you need to heal less. Also they take less damage.
Rapid Regen - Keep this HoT up all the time in a fight
Inner Light - More magicka & crit - Stronger heals.
Ice Comet
Destro Bar
Blazing Spear - (AoE damage & stamina regen for the tank/stam dps)
Breath of Life
Structured Entropy - 20% Spell power buff, keep up 100% during combat so your heals are stronger
Radiant Oppression (Flex spot... I sometimes swap for Mystic orb, purifying ritual, Repentance etc depending on what I'm doing) Radiant Opression is instant strong 1 button dps so is ideal for a healer.
Inner Light
Nova
I like having ice comet on my main healing bar for extra magicka & regen, and to be able to dps even when having to full heal. Sometimes the 30% damage reduction from nova is good too.
I have breath of life in the same spot on both bars.... Some see this as a waste of a spot, but I disagree... this allows me to stay on my DPS/Destro bar and safely be doing pretty decent damage while having instant access to my 'Oh ***' heal for whenever I need it. I always switch back to my main heal bar to keep Rapid Regen going so they always have some decent healing even when I'm DPS'ing.
ROTATION
This kinda depends on whats happening in the fight.. but in general..
Apply Structured Entropy so everything you cast (Both DPS & heals) is stronger.
Apply Rapid Regen twice - That will hit all 3 other members of your group.
Apply Combat Prayer to as many of the group as you can... especially the DPS'ers.
Switch to DPS bar and attacker... spears for AoE trash.... staff attacks to keep generating ultimate, jesus beam when below 50%.
Then switch back to resto bar and reapply buffs.
Obviously there will be parts of the fight when you'll have to switch to resto bar to do a lot more healing with springs, etc... but you always have breath of life on both bars with this setup so don't have to swap that much if you don't want to.Edited by Flaminir on July 24, 2015 3:01PMGM of the Unholy LegacyPC/EU/EP1
