    Several are good. I guess my fave is Healing Springs. Rapid Regen is also on my healer's resto bar. Combat Prayer is also a good skill but. . . so many skills, so few slots and Combat Prayer's positional constraints and short duration don't quite let it make the cut for my healer. Lol.

    PvE: Springs/Mutagen, Prayer

    PvP: Healing ward, Panacea
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Generally for pve, combat prayer to buff dps and healing springs for obvious reasons. Mutagen for pug groups who like to stray away from me.
    Pvp, Healing Ward, Rapid Regen, and Light's Champion. Being an Argonian most of the time, the heals from these are potent.

    One cool thing is that Mutagen and Rapid Regen (diff morphs of same skill) will stack on each other. I use RR and when I see another healer using Mutagen (the visuals are very easy to differentiate) we are normally able to keep both those HoTs going on everyone for twice the goodness. Got to do this today with a handful of players at a WB.

    Oh, and my understanding is that Healing Springs will actually stack on itself even when cast by the same healer multiple times. This, of course, is limited by its very short duration but still can be helpful.

    • Panacea - Very powerful heal that is especially useful in PvP
    • Grand Healing - Fantastic AoE burst heal and HoT. Main healer skill
    • Regeneration - Long-lasting HoT. Not that strong but it's definitely useful to have up depending on the content.
    • Blessing of Protection - Good burst heal and provides Minor resist buffs. one morph gives allies Minor Beserk.
    • Steadfast Ward - Great shielding skill
    • Force Siphon - Good single target debuff skill to buff your allies health/magicka restore, but it's an underwhelming skill. The main issue with this skill is that the debuffs it casts onto enemies are already applied by other skills. It has a cast time too which makes it tough to use. This is the one skill that could use a buff just to be a bit more unique and therefore worth using since it's currently almost never used.

    They're all good, but situational. Only Force Siphon could use a buff if any changes were to be made. There is no true "best" skill.

    Nearly all are fine. Only the last one isnt practicable because of casttime...

    The ultimate is so good it can get you some hate whispers

    Honestly got some whispers when I was running an infinite sustain build and used the ultimate in what seemed like numerous times in a row. Was accused of using an exploit to give me infinite sustain (does that exist?)

    So use another morph of siphon. Did you know about it?

    And yea, mutagen is a very strong and cheap skill. All skills are very viable in resto. Just need to know how and where to use them.

    Quick siphon has even less point to use, at least siphon spirit has Minor magsteal. They need to make the skill apply a different heal then minor lifesteal, there is just too many other better heals.

    quick siphon or other morph is a great comb for healers to use with other one using elemental drain

    Healing springs is bread and butter to 99% of healing builds so probably the winner.

    Now I know you are a great healer but what would you make you use either morph? I have found both under perform. Unless you really don't want to run a destro and need magsteal.

    Love Rapid Regen on my solo Magplar. Stacking several dd/heal skills (PS, PL, RR, SE) i feel myself invincible. Don't care about 18-22K DPS.

    Combat Prayer, most important healing skill in PvE. That said, Lights Champion is pure cancer in PvP.^^
