Hey guys so I thought I would share my current main character build. This is as far from your typical character setup as possible so if your triggered by things that are not the meta or otherwise don't conform to your idea's of what certain roles should and shouldnt be doing then I suggest you stop reading now. If your still here though lets continue.
So firstly a little bit about the build. The Pillar of Want is a roleplay healer build constructed around 4 man end game content. My build as run threw every vet dlc without any trouble and in certain scenario's has worked out pretty amazing imo. However I do expressly state this is not a character that can fit into a regualr "established meta" group and this build has been designed to work specifically with my friends builds in the most efficient way and there for the meta of other people has not been taken in to acount when making this build what so ever. The Pillar of Want is a highly unique build that actually hurt's itself to keep other's safe, yeah you read correctly it actually damages itself to make sure other's are safe and no I am not talking about it being a tank throwing itself in harms way. Ok onto the build.

So now the gear is out the way I wont bother putting a Cp spread because some people stick to specific spreads and other people like very diferent spread depending on there playstyle. Attributes should all be in Magicka as you should have roughly 20k hp making points into it not needed. So about now you may be thinking, well Brand's of Imperium and Lord Warden are proc'ed on taking damage and no way can I sit there spamming equilibrium to proc them or anything, well that is where a little thing called "essence of ravage health" comes in. With these potions running you will take damage every second regardless if your getting attacked or not. The damage you recieve from ravage health potions is so minute it should never be a bother, and you will have a 14 - 15k damage shield procing on you and be sat in Lord Warden giving you around 25k resistances at all times so most thing wont be able to damage you to make you ever notice the small health drain anyway.
So Why would you ever want to be a masochistic healer? Well using a setup like this can give otherwise squishy DD's allot more survivability without the need for spamming heals, Brands of Imperium will apply to everyone in your group aslong as they stay within moderate range of you as it applies to your entire party. Further more with you providing the tank with extra resistances they dont need to invest as heavily into there own resistances allowing them to run other sets or even weapon setups to be a tank/dd hybrid character, this allows them to have a better time in overland content and even pvp without having to completely have a diferent loadout for vet dungeons. On top of this The Pillar of Want is a very tanky healer and enemies will be hard pressed to kill it making it actually very pleasing to play for people who are looking to get into the healer role from being a tank originally. And Finnaly this character has in my opinion and amazing ascetic with a blend of blue, purple and gold everywhere and a very daedric theme to its healing prosses.
Anyway, thanks for reading everyone who got this far. Hope if anything I proved that you really can do anything in ESO if you put your mind too it. Have a nice day. xxx
