Calling all healers, which Monster set will you be using after Summerset?

As you guys know 2 handed staves will count as 2 set pieces, leaving healers to finally be able to use monster sets. So I want to get an idea of which sets you will use or think will be most popular with Summerset. Personally I think using a one piece that gives max magika and one that gives magika regen because I think the set effects are underwhelming, but I could be mistaken.

    Ohh i really dig the Chudan set, would make the healer very tanky and templars don't have to use channeled focus, I think this is my new favorite option but bloodspawn?? how often can you take hits for 6% to be effective?

    Depends on the healer I'm playing tbh. On a templar healer I tend to be the one that ends up face tanking trash mobs or mobs a boss spawns, so the additional defense/ultimate from Blood Spawn would be nice for throwing out either War Horn or Light's Champion ultis.

    Other than that, it'll mostly be Chudan or a mix. Depends on the team really. If it's a bunch of melee dps then maybe Sentinel, but I don't like the small range on it tbh.

    5/5/1/1. I'll still run Master Resto/Maelstrom Destro. Maybe drop the Maelstrom Destro, but I have a hard time believing any 5 piece set will have enough up time by being only on the back bar.

    Personally I will use IA front bar and Malestrom resto backbar, that way I can get both effects and still have 2 moster set slots. I was going for Nightflame head and chokethorn shoulder but the guy with the Chudan Idea probably changed my mind

    In my Templar I'm thinking about Thurvokun because I can be supportive applying the Minor Maim and Minor Defile debuffing the enemies or Lord Warden in close fights for groups that need more defenses.
    For my healers from other classes I'm thinking about Earthgore.

    Its only problem is its area of effect is too small, Its heal over time is really good and in trials it can be amazing and its the only moster set that can have 100% uptime.

    It will probably depend on the situation.

    Earthgore is nice to out heals mechanics or forgive stupid mistakes of allies. It's also good during burn phases in trials. There's pvp too.

    Troll king I see this during larger arenas like the dragon in coa2 or ayslum. There's pvp too.

    Chokethorn might be good if they fixed the targeting. It seemed so random. Might be good for reinforcing a squishy member.

    Sentiental seems like the wises choice with heals and stamina support. It will work exceptionally well with melee dps, but not as well with range dps or Magicka dps. This might be fun set vAA to help tank.

    I don't understand night flame.

    Currently use 5 piece seducer for armor pieces and troll king for head and shoulder and rest way of martial knowledge. Likely when new chapter comes out I will likely switch martial knowledge for another set. Not sure which I will pick yet.

    There's some other nice sets besides heals ones.

    Chudan can help death prone healers. There's also Lord warden Which is similar but supportive.

    Thurvokun might be interesting on mage fight in vAA or pvp.

    Bloodspawn sounds nice but that small proc ensures it's a tank set.

    Maelstrom Resto is a pale substitute for Master Resto and I'll not count on the procs of my off bar. Though it sounds like you Resto/Resto rather than Resto/Destro

    I find the area to be too small as well. Troll King can also have 100% up time. Though things arent going well if it does. Unless you're in a burn phase. Sentinel too is too small, but the Stamina return makes it a little more worth while. Though I have run neither set in nearly a year.

    Yes I use resto/resto since I can apply Aoe magika steal with radiant aura and tank applies major breech, don't need and destro skills.

    Also master resto really doesn't give that much stamina unless you spam healing springs, malestrom resto help me sustain better

    In general now its not very wise to use monster sets as a healer beacuse their bonuses are not worth losing a 5 set effect, but after summerset there will be no reason not to use it

Personally I run a DK and its only getting better, so I will keep my Destro. So the only reason to drop my Master Resto would be to run Sentinel. However I dont much like the idea of not being able to control where or when I give stamina.

    True that's why I think Chudan or 1 and 1 are the best options based on the discussion here. Perhaps they can buff healing monster sets in the future

    I mean technically it's only 15 secs on bosses now. Most of you don't use a charge staff anyways so it's wasted most the time. With enough sorcs it group then it should be fine. Still I am hypocrite because I use it.

    You can in a way. If you are focused on melee dps of on tank then you are good. It's not like we don't stack all the time. But might be an issue if procs on pet.

    Sentinel
    I'll be using Sentinel on my SPC/Sanctuary Argonian Warden. One major thing that Warden healers lack compared to Templar healers is an equivalent to shards. Sentinel won't be as reliable as shards, obviously, but I like the fact that it restores stamina to the ENTIRE group. When I'm grouped up with Templar healers on stam DPS characters, I never feel comfortable activating the synergy on shards, as it's an unwritten rule that that synergy belongs to the tank. Wardens excel with group-wide buffs, so Sentinel feels like the obvious choice here.

    EDIT: Also, NO ONE in my guilds runs DSA, so I haven't been able to get a Master resto staff and doubt I ever will. If Sentinel procs reliably, then it's a decent alternative to not having access to Master resto.
