Looking for feedback on my Nightblade Healer build

Soul Shriven
It's my first time doing a full build on my own so I'm open for any feedback I can get.

✭✭I usually run this and works pretty well:
Path, drain, wall, orbs, siphoning and warhorn/consuming darkness
Funnel, healing springs, combat prayer, ward, healthy offering and soul siphon.
If the mechanics require to interrupt, like the fight against Gravelight Sentry in ICP, i change wall for crushing.0 -

Elemental Drain does that and more. I probably should have mentioned that the build is for PVE so I don't really gain anything from the slow in comparison to giving the enemy reduced Spell Resistance.
Also thank you for the invite, I had no idea that there was a discord server for the game.Edited by Licith on June 18, 2019 10:27AM1 -

So the only diffrence really is Healing Ward, would you say it's a must have ability?0 -

✭✭✭It’s for pve right? I’d make a couple tweaks:
- Taesar’s right, I’d run debilitate instead of elemental drain. Tanks spec to provide major breach and fracture on mobs, elemental drain is only good for the magic steal. Might as well do some damage and get better passives with debilitate
- I really like sap essence for trash mobs. As a healer I’ll heal dps with it and do lots of damage. Typically hit 30-40k on trash so it’s enough to really speed things up. Just be careful because it draws a lot of aggro, I used to always wear Iceheart in dungeons for this reason
- I like Rapid Regen a lot. DPS, especially new dps to the game, like standing behind you because they’re used to healers being able to heal from the UI so their positioning doesn’t matter. Rapid regen’s a good way to preheal them with minimal effort
- Is that funnel health on your bar? I haven’t used it in a long time. I’ve only pve healed before Els and used Infallible Mage so for damage and I’d heavy attack. PvE healing is a lot twitch and I liked that heavy attacks can be interrupted immediately with heals. Healthy Offering is a full heal on a dps if they haven’t been 1 shot.
- I still use rapid maneuvers as a healer, group speed between encounters is great
I haven’t pve healed since Elys but I was going to try:
Healthy Offering, Healing Springs/Rapid Regen, Combat Prayer, Refreshing Path, Sap Essence - Ult Soul Siphon
Debilitate, Elemental Blockade (lightning), Orbs, X, X - Ult WarhornEdited by Iskiab on June 18, 2019 10:54AMLooking for any guildies I used to play with:
Havoc Warhammer - Alair

I think so yeah.
Sometimes it can get really messy, you see a health bar dropping and don't know where that player is. Simply cast ward and it will be used on the lowest health player, giving you more time to look for them and heal them.0 -

Yea, that’s true. When I pve heal I like doing as much damage as I can in dungeons. In trials I don’t care, but with 4 people and only 2 dps it makes a big difference.
I try to aim for 10k dps ST and 30k dps aoe, it’s easier on a templar and debilitate helps close the ST gap.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:

✭Yay, another Nightblade healer!
Most folk think I am crazy when I bring mine out or tell people about him.
Its actually great fun! Also easy to spec into a bit more DPS when needed, which is what I tend to use my NB healer for, a hybrid heal/dps. For pure healing I still go to my Templar.
Some decent advice throughout the thread.0 -

How much ST dps can you do in vets? I’m thinking maybe I should adapt to do more dps.
Are you using funnel health? 10k seems to be my limit. All I’ve figured out is mother’s sorrow is great for a damage plus healing spec, it actually boosts healing a lot. Infallible mage is a bit better because I like the 5 piece on heavy attacks, but mother’s sorrow might be best for more damage. Maybe IA isn’t required if you use lotus fan.Edited by Iskiab on June 19, 2019 12:13PMLooking for any guildies I used to play with:

I have not played my NB healer for some time, however from memory, I seem to recall managing around about 15k dps. For some reason 14k and 16k stick in my mind. So, its nothing special but more than enough for a healer role.
I do not tend slot funnel health, as the aoe heals tend to be enough.0
