Tasear's Tree House

I admit, I had my misgiving before, but really have come to love eso logs. It's finally a way to gauge myself, and seek personal improvement.


I had a goal to get 40k hps after seeing my 23 to 26k hps. I think I had reasons I told myself that I wanted to seek this out, but in the end I keep going cause I wanted to see myself improve at something I believed myself to be skilled in doing. Now I have reach this goal in constantly getting 40k hps. I share with you all my build improvements for my favored and prized Sorc.

I the biggest difference I found in really pushing margin was 40k was adding dark conversion back. The Elsweyr changes really made it finally fluid enough to use in combat. Also minor prophecy buff was enough to give it space on bars once more. Still I see lots of room to refine things here, so will keep you all updated.

As of now, Sorc Healer is what people called "Meta" Healing Class. This though I think has been for the worst reasons as it was simply an result of balance issue of Sorc Dps.  Still fact is the only  Unorthodox of Healer is only accepted in the Competitive End Game Community.

The community has Sorc Healer for procing minor prophecy passive for extra spell critical and the conduct synergy for Alkoash wearing tanks found in Competitive End Game of ESO. While it doesn't compare to warden it also has a chance to provide minor intellect.

Advantages of the class (PvE & PvP)

- Access to all possible support utility ( Stun, root, symbolize, fear, gap closer, chains, negate, defile, slow debuff, ... etc)

- Mobility and defensive with boundless and Conjured Ward

- Supportive Class Passives for healers ( cost reduction with ultimate, regains, extra health, cost reduction after blocking, cost reduction with stamina and maxigcika)

Disadvantages of Class

-  Sorc Dps often use Twilight Matriarch too.

- Potential lack of bar space

- Lack of Heals over time in class utility

- Lack of group damage migration (This changes with Elsweyr)

- Has a same group buff as warden with minor intellect but without the heal and stamina regain.

Coldharbour’s Favorite

(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage, adds 129 Weapon Damage
(5 items) When you heal yourself or an ally, summon Cadwell’s noble mount, Honor, who after 2 seconds, casts a healing spell on you and your allies around him that heals for 12800 Health over 4 seconds.

When you damage an enemy, summon Cadwell’s noble mount, Honor, who after 2 seconds, explodes, damaging enemies around him for 12800 Magic Damage over 4 seconds. Honor can only be summoned once every 10 seconds.

In general, this will be fun set people. A quacky set looks to be well suited for dps/healer types in gameplay. I find myself thinking of the old style of dps/healer from nightblades that might really like to bring this set to dungeons. Though, lets not forget the application in pvp will provide user with something active to use in dps/healer role besides the usually utility sets or skills. I believe this set is well designed in giving healers a play style to enjoy that isn't just pure healing set like we seen in the past.

Call of the Undertaker

(2 items) Adds 4% Healing Taken
(3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
(4 items) Adds 4% Healing Done
(5 items) When you deal damage with a light attack, you apply Minor Lifesteal to your enemy for 8 seconds, healing you and your allies for 600 Health every 1 second when damaging them. This effect can occur every 8 seconds.

This set is interesting could go for Tank/Healer hybrid style but with a twist that adds a bit of brawler. Tanks that aren't always blocking can also heal allies during combat. Also, it saves a skill slot and long cast time over using blood altar. This can be used to bring 3 dps in a group or to help a healer in their role in more demanding content.

Eye of Nahviintaas

(2 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(3 items) Gain Minor Aegis at all times, reducing your damage taken from Dungeon and Trial Monsters by 5%
(4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(5 items) When an ally activates one of your Synergies, you and the synergy activator reduce the cost of your Magicka and Stamina Abilities by 12% for 3 seconds. 6 second cooldown

Last to talk about is very interesting competitive end game set that promotes the need for healer, but not only that it actually gives back to healer instead of the usual giving without getting sets. On the downside, this will indirectly ask for more sustain and synergies from healers. That could provide issues to Dragon Knight and Nightblade healer class, but I believe since the cost reduction is mostly directed at dps this will promote the usage of undaunted synergies like bone synergy, undaunted altar, and trapping webs in gameplay.

It's finally out! Let us rejoice of our newest class to heal allies. While we don't know finer points. I found myself seeing lots of different ways to build a healer. Here is my first attempt at theory crafting for Necro Healer. I think best part was seeing more class skills being usable over weapon skill lines... or at least you can pick now. The focus of this build was utility.

Protector of Life

Testing out new warden healer build for dungeons. The idea is playing with defensive style support and healing. What I found was really inspiring was the thought of using trees with inventor's guard. This will allow for a reduction in damage very often. Also some frosty items for when mobs get to close to slow, and imbolize while making it so allies can take a hit.

Keep in mind things are subject to change as these are still on public test server, but we have some good offerings for healers this round!

Curse Eater
OLD
2 – Adds 1206 Maximum Health
3 – Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
4 – Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
5 – Reduces the duration of all negative effects applied to you by 20%.
NEW
2 – Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
3 – Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
4 – Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
5 – When you heal yourself or an ally, remove two negative effects from them. If a negative effect was removed this way, your target restores 150 Magicka.  This effect can occur every 2 seconds.

This is amazing set for healers! This will help healers who aren't Templar handle some content that was possible but to a more skill level to achieve compared than Templar. While some though might say this takes away from Templar identity it's still a 5 piece that has to be used and technically a cleanse up to 5 negative effects ever sec though at a cost if they wished to do so.

Now in practice this set will help healers of all classes support allies better in pve and pvp. For Pve the most noticeable content will be with non Templar healers who struggled with Trials such veteran Asylum, Normal or veteran Halls of Fabrication, and most obviously craddle of shadows. It will also help players potentially in lesser noticeable things with negative effect. In regards to pvp, I see this making healers very stable existent in groups as you are going to want someone with this set. This will also clean up battlefield for those not liking negative effects vs Skill in pvp fights.

It will still need some testing, but I would buy this set now. It will become a staple set for healers.
