There really are not any great craftable sets for healing, same for overland drops. If you want to PvE heal, you're going to have to farm.

Good news is, you can only farm four-mans and avoid the trials! Hit up Banished Cells for Sanctuary, Vault of Madness for Worm Cult, White Gold Tower for Spell Power Cure, and Scalecaller Peak for Jorvuld's. Spell Power Cure is the only one that is pretty much a must for the Major Courage buff.

There you go, four interchangeable sets that will cover everything you could ever need for dungeon healing.

Good stuff, I will read up on these suggested sets.

As mentioned, I wont be healing for trials, so I won't be acquiring Trial gear. Especially since I have never done a trial and likely never will.

In PvE dungeons most of the time no need for healing set, you want support sets instead to help the dps killing mobs faster. Apart from few vet dlc dungeons a simple mutagen+refreshingpath+bogdan will give enough continuous healing (pve healing is keeping up a steady hps, not rapid emergency healing), and you also can support it with healing springs from regen staff and blood altar and orbs from undaunted if needed. Although in practice most of the time you push out orbs for resource not for healing...

As sets, what I recommend is Olorime (far superior to SPC, but you need some practice how to place it) and Worm Cult (help the magicka players and yourself with sustain), monster set I'd recommend Bogdan generally with a spare Earthgore to switch to in harder dlc dungeons and a Valkyn Skoria for the easy base dungeons where barely any healing needed.

Edit: I just noted you'd like crafted or purchasable, unfortunately there's not much healer sets in these, most crafted and overland sets are selfish sets for yourself and not for supporting others, I'd say these days Olorime is a must for healers... That being said, Seducer+Magnus give you effectively infinite mag sustain on healer, and if you play a healer/dps hybrid then Julianos+Seducer works great. Go for 5 light 1 med 1 heavy setup. Also put a health glyph on chest and legs, you want 19-20k health for survivability (you are the healer, it's not good if you go down easily, you want a bit more health than a dps) Oh, and don'd do double resto staff, you want resto plus light destro staff (infused light staff with magicka absorb glyph), keep lightning blockade up all the time, use elemental drain on bosses and crushing shock where interrupt needed.

The reason why i use spc instead of olorime is because there are many situations where people need to keep moving or randoms who move for no reason.
Also op said "no trials".

Still Olorime better even when moving as you don't have to stay inside the ring. You just have to be inside to get the 30 sec buff, but after you get the Major Courage you can move freely out.

Oh, if you really don’t want to do trials then just go with SPC and Worm. I would recommend giving trials a shot though, on normal mode they’re no harder than dungeons, and random groups form in Craglorn zone chat all the time.

To heal dungeons just use what ever you want that boosts your healing, a lot of people here are giving advice for sets that boost the dps of your group, (which is a good thing and what you should aim for when playing with a solid group) but in reality if you're pugging dungeons Mr Magicka dps with Bow/Bow isn't really going to benefit much


Point I'm making is if you was a Magwarden healer you could still run Necropotence+ Bright throat/crafty Alfiq with Earthgore or something and still be totally effective healing Pug Dungeons.

If you have NOTHING and you just hit cp 160 and want to craft gear to use that wont break your bank then for any starter magicka build I would recommend 5 pieces of Seducer, 5 pieces of Torugs Pact, and 2 pieces of Inate axiom ( head and shoulders). I would make a chest of Heavy and a legs of Medium and the rest Light. Depending on the build i would use eithe 7 magicka glyphs for armor or 4 small aromr pieces for magicka and 3 big pieces for health. And again, depending on the build i would use either 3 spell harm glyphs for jewls or 3 magicka regen glyphs for jewls. And finally, depending on the build i would use a fire or a lightning glyph for the first staff and a magicka absorb for the second staff. This will give you some decent gear to use until you can find what you want that best suits you.

I use this for all my training builds when grinding to level 50 on magicka toons. 3 and 2 trait sets most people can make fairly quickly. Dont have to spam the guild chat asking for help for much except maybe glyphs and possibly jewls when you are first starting out.

****I Have a NB HEALER**** works great.

hehe thanks. I am an 8 trait crafter, but still low on Jewelry crafting so probably need to buy a set for Jewelry/weapons.

BTW, if U play as NB-healer, it's mean U like some mad things. Try to use Mighty Glacier`s (via weapon/jewerly), Phoenix, Kagrenac >.<

Sanctuary + Olorime > SPC > Worm

Have to farm all that stuff. You can Stendarr + Kags without ever setting foot in an instance. Kags + SPC with minimal farming and is a solid setup.

I main heal norms w/ this combo and have no real probs:

Shadow Dancer + Julianos

Max cp makes a difference but the point I’m trying to make is you can get started healing without ever setting foot inside a group area.

You could mix & match a few rando sets to get started, but Kags gives helpful sustain + res speed if someone dies while you’re learning and Stendarr gives you purges which may or may not be helpful but it’s nice to have. Stendarr can usually be found cheap, say 2-4k for purp jewels so you can get the set for <15k then just make Kags.

Heck if you got 6 traits researched in jewels you could just do Juli / Kags and be fine, just be expensive to make the jewelry non-white. Totally a “I made dis” outfit but functional.

Easy craftable, purchasable combinations can be
Magnus gift and Vanus set, Warmaidens and Innate axiom. Magnus and Naga Shaman. I personally used the Warmaidens/innate axiom combination with my templar healer till i switched the innate for sanctuary, and i did each and every vet content including Dragon Star arena with that no problems at all until i got the masters staff and switched to olorime/infalible combination.
