PVP healer nightblade

Godeko · June 2017

Hey guys,

I need some tips for a pvp nightblade healer.
Im a khajiit stamblade but just wanna go healer for the bg healing achievments. This means I cant afford to farm for sets and just crafted sets are possible. Also Im not going to change my race of course.
Since I dont have any experience in healing and magicka builds at all I need some help here. What builds, cp allocation, skills and Rotations can you suggest me?
Btw I do have full divine spc/worm with infused msa healing staff and sharp inferno staff from my templar (I never use).

Ty for help

switch to MAGBLADE.. profit from heals from a multitude of skills (class&resto)

warning, I think VIGOR is slated for a nerf (may already have happened depending on yer platform).

Yes, thats the plan. I will go temporary magicka, till I got those achievements. Just need some tips how to build and skills.

I would run 5 Kagrenacs Hope (crafted) and 5 Robes of Transmutation (drops from pvp rotw). you would need some HoTs on your bar to proc Transmutation so go with a restoration staff because of Rapid Regeneration and Healing Springs. You can go with a 1H and ShIeld on your back bar. Some NB abilities that i would recommend are Funnel Health, Merciless Resolved, MIrage, Refreshing Path and Mass Hysteria (incase anyone is focusing on you because youre the healer). These are just some things i can suggest for a NB healer in BGs. I'm not too informed on a pvp NB healer because you dont really see them around but I'm sure it would look something like that.

once you go MAGICKA, you may never go back...

There are sooo many options.. for PVP I used ther resto staff AOE HEALING SPRINGS as an area heal for zergs (on flags, etc.) to help return magicka to help with sustainsl, also I think SWALLOW SOUL is the better morph, while it doesn't heal the "one other person" it increases all heals to everyone you heal by 8% (minor vitality). SAP ESSENCE seems pretty good too, if you have any tankyness (maybe from Healing ward)

I am a kitty NB healer. More from a PVE point of view, but I do BG too and I enjoy them.

Agreed. Funnel Health ♥. Refreshing Path is an excellent way to run faster without using your stamina (keep it to break free if you can). When everyone stack, it's also nice to deal some damage and heal your teammates in the same time. Sap Essence could be interesting to boost your damage (you use it once on your opponents, heal a bit with it, boost your damage and Funnel Health/Refreshing Path does more damage and more heal).

From the restoration staff, nothing new: Healing Springs as main heal, Mutagen/Rapid Regeneration (I have a preference for Mutagen and its emergency tool). I switch Healing Ward for Harness Magicka (from Light Armor): if someone hits me with a magicka ability, it restores magicka. You can use Healing Ward if you have a free slot, but take Harness Magicka too. It will save your life sometimes.

I'm running War Maiden, but most of the time in BG, I'm focusing on damage. I think it could be nice for your NB skill, as this set increase the magic damage of your abilities -- and all magicka NB skills are magic damage. Seducer (heavy to be more "tanky") to reduce the cost of your magicka abilities by 8%. You can try going with your SPC and Worm. I did it before using War Maiden (when I decided to be more offensive).

As a Khajiit, take Inner Light from Mages Guild -- it will increase your max magicka and you will do more crit heal. One Siphon ability on each bar if possible -- one of your Siphon passives increase your max magicka by 8% if you slot a Siphon ability.

I recommand the Atronach for your Mundus.

(I'm happy to see I'm not the ony one kitty NB healer, even if you just wanna do it for an achievement.)

I suggest:
Restoration staff: Mutagen, Healing Springs, Funnel Health, Harness Magicka, Inner Light, Soul Siphon (for the passive: more Siphon ability on your bar, more heal they do).
Two Swords: Impale (a good finisher and when you kill someone with an Assassination ability, your restore magicka), Refreshing Path, Sap Essence, Siphoning Attack, Inner Light, Ice Comet.

I would just do it as stamina and use vigor with soul siphon ult (friendly healing soul tether which is actually prety good).

Godeko · June 2017

Thanks guys.

I tinkered the last days with my build and it just doesnt seem possible.
If the teams are even and the fight is long I may have a chance to get the deathmatch healing achieve.
The other two cant be done. I can get past 100k healing in those modes, yet alone the healing one relict guy or defending mates.
Is there someone out there, who has one of those healing achievements on any class and can tell me how the did it?

I run a LA NB heal tank in BG's.

SnB (offensive) - Funnel, Sap, Path, Fear, Harness, Soul harvest
Resto (healing) - Spings, mutegen, Ward, cripple, mist form (or cloak), Bats (or tether)

Gear is 5 SPC/5 Transmutation/2 Troll King (also use malubeth and bloodspawn)

I have a transmutation sword and SPC shield with either a master or malestrom resto offbar. The point of this is to get the 4 pieces from my two 5 piece sets regardless of the bar I am on. I spend the majority of my time on my SnB bar and since SPC and transmutation have 10 and 20 sec buff times, I am able to maintain them even when I swap to my resto bar to drop a few springs or recast mutegen.

I tend to carry both a master and malestrom resto (both nirn) with me and swap them out based on group make up.

This build would probably still be solid running 5 kagrenac's (either heavy or light)/5 transmutation(SnB, Resto, Jewelry)/2 Monster Set.

I have also run a set-up of 5 lich (with sharpened fire staff)/5 transmutation(with defending resto staff)/2 Troll King. This setup seems to have the most potential for self survivability and sustain and is the set-up I use in non-CP Cyrrodiil.

Let me chime in here as i see very few dedicated pvp nb healers outside of myself.

Transmutatio back bar resto.
You want mutagen, fear, leeching strikes, restoring path, last spot has some options depending on your gear and resources. And for ultimate, few options beat lights champion.

Front bar there are a few different approaches. You can go wizards repost with inner light, crippling grasp, funnel health, ele drain (for destro passive) and merc resolve. Remeber you still want your funnel health to hurt for better hot ticks. You can slot healing ward on the resto flex slot or LA sheild. Front bar ultimate should be Soul tether.

Contrary to popular opinion, rattle cage is actually not a bad set for nb healer. Drop entropy on front bar for utility or more damage.

Other HA sets for nb healer can be seducer, julianos and impreg. Do NOT run kagrenacs.

Atm there is no reason not to run troll king 2pc. on nb healer. It is simply the best option. However if you dind yourself getting focused often, 5h/1/1 malubeth is very good. What is happening is between nb healers heavy hot uptime and HA healing recieved passive + trans + malutbeth makes you incredibly resilient. In no cp this has been my go to setup.

After extensive testing for the past week, im still not entirely sold on wizards riposte. But if you want to run 5L it is the best option. Just dont get mad if you die from a proc set gank. Because its going to happen.
