I've accepted the fact that I'm only interested in playing Nightblades. I'm not very good at them but I have 3 at CP level (Main PVE guy, PVP guy, and my original character who's resigned to crafting) and have only played the stam DPS role.
I wanted to branch out to something different...tried a DK Tank and a Templar healer and none kept my interest. But a magika NB? That sounds interesting! A magika NB in a healer role? Even more interesting! So I started one while the XP bonus was on and got to level 15 in a day. Now it's time to start figuring out how this thing works.
I read that one advantage magblades have, in a healing or other role, is...and I may have heard it wrong...damage mitigation? Damage reduction? Damage shields? Anyway, I looked through all those NB skill lines I don't use and I don't see anything resembling damage shields. Am I just missing it?
I see the healing skills in the siphoning line...is that, combined with Resto staff skills what a NB healer brings to the table?

Ah, very cool. And, no, not planning on healing vet trials. I've done 3 vet trials so far and have zero interest whatsoever in healing them! I'll stick to DPS in those!
Really? So you never ever ever put a skill point into cloak? Even on a Stamblade Cloak + Veiled strike is a good combo until you put enough attribute points into stamina to actually be considered a "stamina" build. I mean below level 15 there's not much difference as far as attributes go.
Great info!! Thanks!
Exeeter, can you give me an idea of what your front and back bars look like to heal a vet dungeon (not a trial). Assume flame/resto staff and what your rotation may be?

Argonian is best.
Sets I like:
Sentinel of Rkugamz
Mothers Sorrow
Necropotance
Spell Power Cure
Combat Physician (4 man)
Lich
Sanctuary
Worm Cult.

I have Refreshing path on my DPS bar (destro staff) right now. Since it's damage + heal, it feels right on that bar. I do swap a lotWillhelmBlack wrote: »NB's are awesome at healing 12+. I like Ward Ally in those oh crap moments.

My NB healer is almost 50 and I'm working on his starter set. Right now, I'll be 5x Mother's Sorrow, 5x Seducer, and 1x Monster. Haven't decided which monster helm yet. I've got 4-5 in the bank that give some sort of magicka bonus but nothing better right now.
. If you run a single monster helm I'd get Molag Kena
My NB healer personally runs Troll King x 2, SPC x 5, Infallible Mage x 3 and a random staff (to be vma staff one day...). All divines with The Thief mundus. I'm pretty close to critting funnel health at 15k damage and healing for 5k. On a good, lag free day I can hit 16k dps. I'm considering dropping Troll King though, it's nice in a few specific fights where there is massive AoE but generally I feel like more dps would be better.

I’m currently running 5x Seducer, 4x Mother’s Sorrow, and 2x Velkyn Skoria. But the Velkyn doesn’t process as much as I’d like. I’m close to a set of SPC but what’s a better monster set to run with it? I do like the health bonus of Valkyn.
I wasn’t impressed with molag Kena. Can’t decide if I should go 5/5/1 or 5/4/2.
It seems Magicka Regen is NOT a problem so 5/4/2 may be best.
