I used to be able to heal 21k with my full healer's twilight, now only 14k. The healing twilight was the only advantage you had as a sorcerer healer. Might aswell slot combat prayer instead of the twilight and get an extra skill, but if Im gonna do that why even play a sorcerer healer in the first place.
FYI yes I can heal engame content as a sorc healer just fine, so no I dont want to heal with another class. Just stop with these *** nerfs in response to crybabies. If your gonna kill pets just get rid of them alltogether and replace the summon tree with somethingelse already. As someone who played this game since 2014 and seen all the changes to pets over the years Im getting real tired of this ***...

Calling out someone to be a bad healer because they don't heal like you? Combat prayer is nice in both heals and buffs, but I never bothered to use it because there is a skill called comufpaged hunter both magicka and stamina DDs can use and have better uptime on minor berserk than I do with combat. You guys just making healer overwork for no reason. I already wear buffing sets and help with sustain, survivabilty and crowd control. What't next? You only qualify as a healer if you can do atleast 60 mil on raid dummy? What is wrong with being full healer with out any buffs/debuffs? If dps can't pull there wieght without healer support, why is it healer fault? Healers and tanks supports only meant to increase what is already a good dps.

@Katboy333 Look at what's needed, it was the balance of needing Spell Damage as well as max Magika. Twilight didn't take a direct nerf unless I'm mistake?
Also twilight should only be your burst heal. You should be slamming down Restro skills and the twilight as a panic

Like I have already said I was using the twilight as burst heal. Healers go max magicka, the twilight doesnt buff from max magicka only anymore so yes there is a nerf for sorc healers. Im not a dps so I shouldnt have to get spell damage to rebuff it and loose max magicka in the process.

You are looking at it wrong, spell damage has always buffed heals. Hence some DDs run Nirn up front instead of sharpened, not for the damage (as ~230 SD is negligible) but for the side buff to Heals.
They have just changed how pets work. You haven't been nerfed you just need to adjust your setup that's all..
What's your setup then, sets, CP, skills. Would help folks help..

"Spell Power Cure: Reduced the duration of the Major Courage granted from this set to 5 seconds, down from 10"
Its effect was literally cut in half. The 50% proc chance it had before did nothing because it would always apply due to HOTS - IF you overhealed. Now when you overheal the effect is literally halfed lol.
You seem to forget that SPC has no cooldown so you can proc it as soon as it runs out. an uptime of 90%+ is realy easy to get with it
Proc'ing spell power cure was never an issue. With multiple HOTS the 50% proc was instant to begin with. Even one HOT would provice enough tics to make it instant.
Keeping major courage up during combat when people are not at full health is much harder as it require overheal. So it was much safer to have 10 seconds to heal your team than having 5 seconds to re-proc it.
It was a huge nerf to uptime, they literally cut the effect in half and buffed something that wasn't a problem to begin with.
It's still one of the better choices for healers which isn't saying much these days.

I’ve never facepalmed so hard in all my life. Combat prayer is a must. You're right, healers do benefit from a large magicka pool but thing is spell damage nowadays is more important. Infused spell damage jewels especially on sorc as you can just dark conversion yourself more magicka from your stamina pool for literally endless resource whilst applying minor prophecy. Your matriarch will still hit like a train if you have enough spell damage, regen nowadays is essentially pointless. Plus! You contribute to damage moreso if you’re specced for it, more damage > less need to panic smash your matriarch to death.

In response I can only say this: After a good nights sleep the tiredness is usually gone.
But seriously:
Twilight Matriarch is not the ONLY advantage a sorc healer has over other classes. There are dark deal, crystal weapon, surge, the Atronach ults, the suppression field ult and literally all the passives are either unique or standalone good, .....
I mean: If you play it right, the MagSorc Healer can be a very versatile contributer to all types of group compositions.

I dont understand the fact that DDs have a say on how me, an healer, should play my role.
I don't do trials for this same reason. I would have to use a standard setup just to make your epeens grow bigger.
I show more skill as an healer making pugs finish dlc vet dungeons hm in this game than playing a buff bot in trials

I use CBP all the time but man, sometimes when the group keeps dancing all over the place it becomes quite the task to keep the buff up and I'm having to use 2-3x the magic just to keep it applied. Any ideas on a better strategy to combat that?
Also me: I should stop running pugs as much as I do.
Zodiarkslayer wrote: »@Katboy333 Oh Boy!
I will say this again: There are MORE class skills that a Magicka Sorcerer can utilize in the role of a healer than just the Matriarch Twilight!
Just as one example: Dark deal combines both a burst heal and a super sustain in one cheap package. And it costs stamina, which is not even the primary ressource on a healer. No other class has that! Hence it is a comparative advantage of the sorcerer class!
Reducing a whole class to one skill (however good or outstanding it is) is equivalent to stating a football team is only good because its one world class forward. Or an American Football team is only good because of its outstanding Quaterback. Both disregard the rest of the team.
And personally I would like to add, that I still regard the sorcerer class to be the BEST suited for healing 4 man group dungeons. NOT trials, but Dungeons.

Good way to remake my build yes, I do use conversion already to buff too. Like I already said I use prayer in trials or when needed. I just cant be bothered with pugs who cant stack and all I play is pugs. Though all Im gonna say about prayer is if they need it to have good dps they just *** suck simple as that.

No use combat prayer, it's the healers responsibility.
Expecting mag to equip camo hunter is a joke.
Most would just use slimecraw and run without a healer that refused to fulfill the role or in the case of a trial, find one that will.
Healer is a support role, so support to the full extent you are able to.

Are you just standing there heavy attacking by any chance bc honestly i’m a healer main and it literally bores me to tears half the time outside of raids, imagine giving yourself less to do than you are already on the most undervalued role and expecting a dd who is doing a full rotation to kill the thing you’re just stood basically looking at overhealing and contributing nothing to buff themselves. I would probably uninstall if that were a healers real job.

I wrote quite a paragraph out about your set and skill choices and kinda stopped myself bc I don’t really want to tell you how to play or what sets you should be running bc not everyone’s the same. The only thing I must say is expecting dds to run camo or slime if they don’t want to when you can apply the same buff with 1 skill that isn’t hard to maintain when healers do essentially nothing is ridiculous. Synergies have a cooldown and majority of them are shared (orb, alter) so you’re not refreshing them constantly per person. Just give it a whirl, the faster stuff is dead, the easier your life is and minor beserk is noticeable when it isn’t present.
