Nightblade pvp healer build?

Yubarius · July 2018

I was curious if anyone knows of a build or would like to help me figure out a nightblade healer build as I really enjoy the class, and wanna try out a healer in pvp for once.

Dont. Didnt even read the forum, saw the titled and commented. Go Magplar.

You can ignore the sheep who say you shouldn't play nb healer. I play one one pvp and consistently get near 1mil healing in BG's, so I know it works. I like to play around the concept of being really hard to kill, while constantly throwing out hots and soul siphon/bolstering darkness ults and annoying the other team with roots and fear.

The setup I like is 5h/2l with 5 piece mark of the pariah + a support set + 2 pirate skeleton (which support set depends on the group). Mark of the pariah with 5 heavy armor makes sure you are at capped resists at all times, even after debuffs. Combine it with stage 4 vampire undeath passive and it becomes insane, with pirate skeleton as cherry on the cake. You can for example use this together with transmutation and slot skills like mirage and the AoE morph of shade for minor maim and you have an insane amount of damage reduction and mitigatio
Active. With tristat food and all magicka enchants you will have more than enough healing power and damage to assist in kills.

I use combat phycisian with wyrd tree. Then i use the pjsicic light/heavy attack healing skill to heal people.

Not a good build though

Duroks+Trans(SnB)+Troll King with VMA resto

Remember that you’ll never heal like a Magplar, you want to be proactive and use your HoTs to extended offensive windows. Try to run ~35k+ health on your SnB bar so you can’t be easily burst and can block cast Dark Cloak when pressured

Funnel - 1k+ HPS
Path - 750+ HPS
Healthy Offering - 1.5k+ HPS
Rapid Regen - 1k+ HPS
Troll King - 750+ HPS
Healing ward/ward ally - emergency “heal”
Resto ult - use this proactively as well, cast it when your group engages

I’d also run Springs and Cleanse but those skills are more situational as opposed to 100% uptime. If you can fit guard that’s ok too.

That gives you 4K++ HPS and a big shield.

Edit: I’d only NB heal a small group and never in BGs as the primary healer.

Idk man I haven't tried too many setups but malevolent offering is really strong. Even with the hp cost it can easily take the place of BoL and with purge cloak is much more reliable for avoiding damage while casting offering and your hots.

Edit on the pve side of it I have really enjoyed earthgore. It let's me stay very offensive procing spc with funnel refreshing and rapid regen. Once it procs I need to back off and watch more for heals until cd is over

Trust in it, offering is ridiculously strong and allows nb to absolutely heal as hard as templar, especially in bgs. You have to remember it heals through walls, disregards elevation and crits for 12k in no cp. Healing output isnt where nb healers struggle. The main issue is learning how to deal with focused pressure, temporal gaurd and shade image really help with this.

For pvp, even post nerf, earthgore is very good and serves as a nice buffer. For pve, the better you become the less you will need a dedicated healing monster set honestly. The remote heal natur of bogdan and gore are nice sometimes but even in hm vet trials i rarely use them when im healing.

The issue is that in a BG you’ll get focused once you’re identified as the healer and without CP you just won’t have what you need to survive that focus. It’s just so inefficient moreso than a question of viability. If you don’t have a Magplar healer then you need a Stamplar DD for purifies and that means losing a warden.

You’re absolutely helpless in a pug as well

In CP this is ok. I don't like combat physician without being able to affect shield size, in which case it can be of great use, obviously. Also wished it would proc infernal guardian, as I love running guardian on nightblade healer.

On a separate note:

*I think high uptime on maim is vital to nb healing. Reducing damage means less pressure to output crazy hps.

*As well as being able somehow to handle being focused.
-- i prefer the dodgy/shady/elusive/cloaky route to the stand your ground and defile business but this latter method seems undeniably effective.

* bloodspawn and troll king are top dogs imo. Bloodspawn gives some stam recovery and pushes an already strong ult gen. Troll king just fits well with all the hots nb healers stack up. I mentioned infernal guardian. If you're a LA shield stacking healing warder this thing will be lobbing lava all day and all night.

* Soul tether + sap on front bar can not only save lives but help secure kills.

By the way, I run on PC NA AD faction as a dps nb & lately have been wanting to have an all nb small man group. We could really use a nb healer if anyone is interested ping me here or in game.
