Gear for healer

ombyoureaninja · November 2016

Hello.

I'm a templar healer, and currently CP 285. I'm not saying no to spell power cure gear, however what are some other good options for healers currently? I'm finding either really old information or finding some really insane opinions. Very conflicting...

Cheers!

Shroud of the Lich set and Worm Raiment set are very good for healers.

I currently have warlock and healer's habit. Opinions on this?

While there are dedicated Healer Sets out there, anything that can benefit a Caster can work for a Healer. A lot of the good healer stuff is locked behind more difficult content, like Spell Power Cure at White Gold Tower. Not that you can't get the stuff with some effort, its just nice to have some thing to use in the meantime. Especially if Traits are important to you on your gear. Then you can craft or have crafted a set that can hold you over until you get something else.

5x SPC is BiS base healer set, everything is based off of this
if you're having trouble in vWGT you can always farm it in normal (I actually reccommend normal as it's much faster)

as for your other 6 pieces you can do (from best to worst):
5x IA, 1x MA/Master resto
3x IA, 3x WP
3x WP, 3x w/e you like

now i'm not saying healer and warlock aren't good, theyre just not the best
you should be able to use your healer/warlock to farm up the 5x SPC and then move onto normal trials to get the IA

If you're really interested in SPC and have trouble finding a farm group you can always farm key shards in IC/sewers if that's within your comfort zone.

Thanks guys. I really, REALLY want the master restro staff from vDragonstar, but having difficulty finding anyone wanting to do it. Maybe some day

At the moment I've been trying out; Worm's Raiment 5/5 (-5% Magicka Cost) and Sanctuary 5/5 (+12% healing for group) sets. And they seem very nice.
Noted that Sanctuary works well for a relatively static, close, or well working group (e.g. one that keeps together so the +12% healing applies). If everyone's spread out or jumping about like nutters iin combat you'd be better served perhaps using a different set. At least that's my thinking. Similar goes for such skills like Combat Healing, as oppsed to Breath or Life etc etc.

Hodor 2nd group healer, up to date for One Tamriel, also getting my seal of approval

I found that a good alternative to Worm is Combat Physician. Gives an 8k damage shield for 6 seconds on each critical heal (which actually heals damage - does not proc when ally is at full health), cooldown 6 seconds. You can easily farm it in Wayrest Sewers.

I'm currently using it together with SPC on my templar.

Interesting. First time I've seen this recommended.

also you wanna ask yourself what type of heals you wanna be, and what situations. i have 2 templar healers each utilizing different strategies. i also am not a fan of staffs, so i focus on dw heals which i can customize bar as i need to and dont need to heavy attack. that though is again part of what type of heals you wanna be.

templar 1: crit healer.

5p twice born star (thief/attronach)
2p monster set whichever you like just remember if it procs of damage you gonna have to keep dots up on top of healing

2 options:
dw: mothers sorrow (crit based healing is RMS heal build)
staff: maelstrom bar and master staff (maelstrom hots, master heal springs bar), willpower jewelry.

this build is a rms build, so your power wont be as high as someone who focus' on raw power but it will still be just as effective (with willpower you can still get 70% crit which is still fairly nice for RMS). in a raid group your role is more direct healing i.e. healing springs, repentance ect.

templar 2: regen healer

5p kagrenac's hope
2p monster set
staff: maelstrom/master with willpower
dw: PvP transmutation, PvE spc, the 12% group heal buff set, or any other set that works with a team from healer aspect that you can get in jewelry/weapons/belt/gloves.

this build is probably one of the more costly builds for healers as you will probably need to change the 2nd 5p depending on group needs as its more of a pvp focused build. faster team reviving plus focus on buffing regen as high as possible to support casting of high cost heals like purge, ball of healing, breathe of life at a higher rate of cast then other builds.
