Which do you usually pick and why? Is there any case where you would use other morph?

✭✭✭✭✭Combat Prayer.
Mostly do PvE with friends when healing (rarely use a resto staff otherwise) so boosting group damage is the best option.

✭✭✭✭✭I actually had to look up what the other morph does, as I've never used it. Buffing DPS's damage output > increased healing output in all situations.4 -

✭Combat prayer is crucial in pve. Maybe the other morph could do better in pvp, but i again would rather like to see a healer using combat prayer once and more competent healing skills instead of spamming the other morph in pvp....Edited by Checkmath on April 3, 2018 11:14AM0 -

✭✭I don’t heal very often, but for dungeons I never even slot it. DPS is all aver the place and you’ll never get them with it. Only in trials in a hard stack it’s worth slotting. Maybe if you’re healing on a non-Templar class.1 -

My apologizes... I didn't consider this option, but do you mean you would not consider either of them?0 -

Normally if you say "I have combat prayer so if you stand in front of me I can boost damage" people will listen.kylewwefan wrote: »I don’t heal very often, but for dungeons I never even slot it.

People always listen when you tell them you can give them bigger numbers.

✭✭Nah, they never make it easy on me. DPS are running all over the place doing their thing. Usually I need to reach someone that’s on the other side of the map.
Combat prayer is basically breath of life. It’s monster burst heal with a smaller range. Really don’t know anyone that’s ever bothered with the other morph.
Maybe those healers convinced sanctuary is a good set? I’ve never felt I needed stronger heals? Have you?
Even in PvP with all the defile, stronger heals are going to be insignificant most times.

What do you think of extra radius provided by blessings of restoration. It covers more then combat prayer while also buffing restiances for 15 secs. Would you say it's useful in PvP?0 -

Hardly, it is almost half the strength of breath. It is use for buffs, not for the actual heal most of the time.3 -

If you have the bar space, yes. But the heal is too small to replace other healing options in PvP and the buff is mediocre.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

jaschacasadiob16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Combat Prayer is totally OP. In veteran trials when people stack (They do stack, yes?), the buffs it provides are essential. Which somehow makes the Asylum staff a bit useful."Yesterday while searching a barrel in vVoM I found a lemon. Best drop of the whole run."

Again, you've added nothing to this conversation whatsoever. Not even an argument for/against any skill in particular except insinuating that you're a special snowflake and thus superior to everyone.

Thanks, I missed this comment clearly.
Well, potions for one, effects don't stack there, or certain sets, that grant it permanently.
And here I thought you had a good argument.
Potions don't provide Minor Berserk. Potions provide Major Savagery+Brutality or Sorcery+Prophecy.
The only set you're referring to that grants Minor Berserk is Slimecraw, which takes up the monster set of the dps for something that they could be getting for free from the healers. This is a net dps loss.
Next?

Asardes✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭There's literally no reason to pick the other morph. Combat Prayer is already a very strong burst heal. I've seen it crit for 16K+ on tank and the tool tip pis 8-9K, so basically there's no reason to even use Breath of Life in trials or even dungeons. Apart from NB, no other class can access Minor Berserk unless wearing Slimercraw; Warden can too, but Bird of Prey doesn't synergize with anything like Relentless Focus/Merciless Resolve do for NB so that skill is awkward to use in PvE.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

✭Sure, DPS > all right? Well can't help you there. Just switch the healer for DPS aswell, who needs them anyway...
In this game, yes, actually.
And a lot of 4man content actually is completed without healers. 3 DDs and 1 tank is one of the most common set ups.
Trials are an entirely different matter where healers are mandatory, and that is where your argument falls apart even more. Instead of just 1-2 dps characters missing monster sets, you want 8-9 DDs to miss their monster sets because you're a special snowflake.
Oh please, next argument.Kiss the chaos.0 -
Anotherone773✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭I think everyone needs to play a healer at least through normal dungeons for at least 50 PUG runs so they can see what a pain in the ass they are as DPS and appreciate how much effort healers have to put into keeping them healed. I tell them 8% damage buff if you stand in front of me. Sometimes they listen sometimes they dont.
I noticed range dps tend to want to stay at their max range which means they are always behind me. So the tank and melee dps end up with all the buffs and the ranged dps ends up with nothing but spot healing. Ironically its almost always the ranged dps that dies because they only catch random regen heals.
id rather you stand in the big red circle doing 2k dps on you and me heal through it, than for you to stand behind me and not catch any of my AOE heals and i have to cast aoes just for you.
Also what is up with the dps running around like a chicken with their head cutoff. The boss isnt dropping aoe and is completely ignoring you. Why are you running around like your dodging imaginary bullets making my life difficult as i keep trying to reposition so i can catch you in heals and buffs if/when i need too. Stand still unless you need to move. stop being ridiculous this isnt pvp and you cant dodge targeted effects by running, they will literally go around corners and through walls.
Just my two centsEdited by Anotherone773 on April 3, 2018 2:34PM1 -
