Horns of the reach healer sets

Blacksmoke · July 2017

Hello,

So what do you all think of the new healing sets and monster set that drops with Horns of the reach? Will they be changing up the BiS healer sets or are they not going to be used at all? I kinda like the one that creates consecrated ground and heals for 11k seems pretty usefull especially for healing a stationary tank constantly dont have to focus him except for the buffs might give me more of an option to throw in extra buffs/debuff akills or a dps akill or two I dont know I'm not good at theory crafting like some wizards on here

let me know what you think! I hope they will change the BiS because running the same boring ugly set is getting painfull

Those monster sets are terrible. Did you see the cool down on it? It's clear that spc and worm will be bis forever... or at least through the next patch.

this patch contains no interesting healing gear at all as far as I can see. SPC+flavor stays king

5 Spell Power Cure + 5 Worm Cult / Healing Mage (aka Mending) / Sanctuary / Twilight Remedy depending on content and what the other healer is running. Either one mismatched monster set that gives some useful bonuses or powered/infused Master healing front bar and charged lightning backbar for off-balance. I have SPC staves so I can run a heavy Kena for more health and a bit of spell damage and only change jewels and a couple of small pieces from other sets.

The new sets from HotR dungeons are quite bad, especially the healer one which is downright terrible.

I tried out Earthgore on Chickens (first boss of vHoF) and wasn't impressed. Interesting animation tho. One piece of Domihaus is definitely nice for a healer wearing one heavy piece. I'd like to test the draugr rest set, but I haven't got around to it yet xD For more info on traditional PVE healer sets: http://elderscrubsonline.com/armour_and_jewelry/

Basically this ^^^^. For 4 man, at least most of them, it does not matter. But for trials no monster set is preferred.

For 4 man actually you don't need a dedicated healer, just a DD off-healer. In some of those dungeons it's actually better if the healer can output some passable DPS himself if individual DPS checks are involved (ex. vWGT planar inhibitor and vDSA round 7). So if you pack something like 5 Law of Julianos + 5 from of the sets mentioned above nobody would blink an eye as long as things went smoothly. Gear is only constrained if you are doing trials in this game, and that's the case not only for healer but for tank (Torug, Alkosh, Ebon) and even DD (NMG, Sunderflame, Morag Tong). From this perspective BiS only matters for 12 man content.

If any race, class, ability, or set is the "absolute go to option" for too long it will eventually be mangled to death to make other options more appealing.

I heal dungeons on a sorc. I use SPC, necro and VMA destro for that reason. Don't need full time healing, so may as well speed it up. Rapid regen, springs, quick dps rotation, twilight if needed, purge if needed, orb or two.
