Curse Eater:
Fixed an issue where this set would fail to proc off Ultimates or Mend Wounds.
This set now has an 8 second cooldown per target, rather than overall.
Increased the Magicka Restore to 678, up from 600.
Fixed an issue where this set shared a cooldown with Stendarr’s Embrace.

Infernal Guardian:
This set now procs when you apply a damage shield ability on yourself or an ally.
Updated the tooltip to better reflect the proc conditions for this set, and fixed numerous issues where it would not obey its listed and intended proc conditions.

Draugr’s Rest: Fixed an issue where this set wasn’t triggering off its stated requirements.

The new addition of set for healers this patch is nice. First of all it actually has something to do with healing, but most importantly adds a new group support aspect into the mist. Not sure, where anyone would use it in particular outside of pvp, but overall a solid set to save.

The fix on curse eater makes me cringe.... cause I know more then once... I tried using both sets at same time O.O. At last now, the set is nice where you need extra support with purges, and such. Also There's a fix to draugr rest that makes me wonder if I can do something with overload with it.

Last thing, while not a healer set per say, Infernal Guardian will now work a better in healer style gameplay. This is because self procing shields like on dk and sorc will blend better with this set and conjuction with other more healer shield style sets.

Classes

Necromancer

Dragon Knight

Nightblade

Consuming Darkness: Fixed an issue where the synergy granted from this ability and its morphs could only be activated when at a certain health threshold, which was not previously communicated. It can now be activated any time when you meet the listed requirements and are not on cooldown

Sorcerer

Overload: Fixed an issue where toggling this ability would dismount you, and updated many sets to properly key off Overload and its morphs where they stated they required Heavy Attacks.

Templar

Sacred Ground: This passive no longer snares enemies in the area. Instead, it increases your Block Mitigation by an additional 10% while standing in one of the mentioned abilities.

Warden

Glacial Presence: This passive now also increases your Critical Damage against enemies, and Critical Healing against allies who have been recently afflicted with the Chilled status effect

Notes:

Not much to say here, overall there's a lot of bug fixes or let's called them makes prefect sense fixes. Templar gets a slight nerf in now that it doesn't have it's aoe snare. This is turns strongly highlights nightblades better in speed buffs and debuffs which overall seems fair, as templar can do a little of everything but not the best of any of buffs.  Lastly wardens... the OP healing class got a buff.

No class really heals like a warden from it's raw healing, to it's support buffs within it's class system. While already having a strong theme of nature, it now gets a buff to critical healing from chilled enemies. This will help tanks and dps more... but nevertheless a slight buff in theme or experience in class healing.

I really like that I don't have to stress over the patch for once....  My Healers can use this chance for finally catch up with all changes. I am thinking that next few months would really like to highlight nightblade and dragonknight. I sincerely think they are a good spot right now. Both Classes have very unique buffs with dk having 2 damage buffs is you really wanted, and nightblade having damage buff and debuff. At last, if there's any things that need polish maybe I can find out.

I like to complain necromancer is so very close... but needs polish.  In regards to Sorcerer... I certainly wonder why I play this class over every other class as it still doesn't have anything comparable to robust support abilities like other classes.

2- 10 - Fixed added for draugr's rest 

Gear

Skills

Overall there's nothing new to farm, but there's 2 sets related to healers coming out and 3 sets which changes that accommodate healers better.  The first set Ancient Dragonguard is powered by having health over 50% for a significant dps increase. Then there's new moon Acolyte, the set makes dps rely on healers for sustain while giving them power, this is a good set that brings the need for another party to help user sustain.

Now the following two sets have some direct relation to healers. Blessing of Potentates could be used to help with ultimate costs in pvp on healers. Next set, Willpower is a standard single piece power boost used by healers, before they acquire arena staves, but with change it might stay with healers who prepare raw power of supportive methods. Lastly, while not new Master resto staff change along with sustain needs across the board will make it necessary for healers to have this set collected for it will be used often. 

Dragon Knight

Power Extraction (morph): This morph now also reduces enemies’ Spell Damage.

Teleport Strike: Updated the duration of the Minor Vulnerability for this ability to 10 seconds, to match its morph’s duration.

Warden

Necromancer 

Frozen Colossus: The Major Vulnerability from this ability and its morphs now last 8 seconds after dealing any damage, rather than 3 seconds after the final smash. Enemies hit by Major Vulnerability cannot be affected again for 20 seconds after it applies, to prevent situations where this debuff could be kept up indefinitely by rotating an army of Necromancers. 

Reusable Parts: Increased the cost reduction granted from this passive to 25/50%, up from 12/25%.

Dragon Knights have an indirect sustain boost to their gameplay that they been asking for years. This is result of the change of the skill from magic to flame damage. This indirectly gives a high chance at burning status effect, to proc combustion passive, that gives which is even better on a charged staff. While not as optimal as it could be on a magdk dragon knight healers are now better then tanks with fiery breath. This indirectly takes zen's group buff set, and puts it on dps (magdk) and away from healers as rightful should.  Dragon Knight Healers, will now be best class to process. 

The changes for nightblades feels like some intuitive fixes. I mean you would think it would apply aoe version of minor vulnerability no? Spell damage and Weapon damage to power extraction, just makes this skill seem right. I think nightblades healer will be in a better place next patch. 

Personally I find the Sorc changes weird, but they will overall help it in pvp situation I think. The pet will have a bigger burst heal. Steak will either provide more defensive mobility or offensive mobility. It will make it easier for healer to escape or help allies escape. 

Warden changes will truly knock Inflable Aether aka IA out of the top healer sets. The reason is swarm will provide the buff on a dps or healer (cough with nasty zens set). Not as functional as it would be on a dps, but healer can potentially provide off balance in a different way from traditional elemental blockade. Also for wardens they have passive purge every 5 secs. This will mostly help in pvp, but in pve situations like halls of fabrication it will be a life saver for the healer themselves.  A later patch took away passive magicka stat boss for slotting northern storm which means a slight reduction in heals.

Templar had some power of light adjustments related to giving stamina templar more usage of power of light, but it reminds to be seen if this will work. Will likely still be a popular choice on templar healers. 

Necromancers... poor necormancers they had their chance but they don't see atro nerf doing them any favors. Still

Overall, class wise I see nightblades truly have their chance now. Dragon Knights will feel less chucky. Sorcs will feel more mobile at least in pvp. Wardens will feel like top dogs. Templars will forever be most abundant healer class, among the population. 

Potions that increase your Physical or Spell Resistance no longer grant Major Resolve or Ward, but instead grant a unique value of Resistances.

I have yet to test the changes to mend wounds, but bug fixes are nice...maybe one day it will be used by healers more then once a blue moon.  Trapping webs change makes it worthwhile synergy for healers to supply to either stamina or magicka damage allies. 

The alliance war changes are things I hope they reconsider as they feel like bad changes for healer gameplay. The cleanse change feels to far with it doing about the same amount of healing as healing springs, but without high cost. I advise healers to swap to other morph for this coming patch and leave this one as trash morph once again. In regards to war horn change it will be nice organized situations, but will now require healers to be in a group to provide this buff. So don't use this zerg surfing or dolmen farming. 

Some oddity changes where the champion passive. Allies will now see when they get that 2 ultimate with visual cue from using a synergy. Also, design wise it will make new players notice the effect of synergies. Lastly, potion change makes for another way to tank heal without using different sets. 

Scalebreaker brought us some healer changes in gameplay, and dragonhold attempts to support our gameplay by adding extra costs to skills for dps which reinforces need for healer to help with sustain. Also, reinforces synergies in gameplay with visual cues or rewards. Also it, indirectly helps healers with some dps sets that need healers to use it properly. As healer will keep allies above 50 percent health or help migrate cost increase of new set power. Lastly patch helps balance out the sustain healers  can give to allies with master resto giving magicka and stamina resources to allies. 

The current concerns are will lower dps make 3 dps more important to have to skip mechics then a healer? Will cleanse still be a worthwhile morph to take? Solo play with war horn is broken as you can't apply it to allies outside of a group. Warden it's leading the pack greatly under the new competitive conditions.  

Update 9/20: Mentioned base changes to netch skill for warden.

Updated 9/26: Fiery Breath, and Molten Armaments Change for Dragon Knight Healers. Also mentioned Zen set.

Updated 10/1 : Templar Power of Light changes added, Warden Northern Storm Changes

Updated 10/15 : Minor adjustments for damage healing things, and Necromancer Atro nerf, Nightblade buff

Halls of Fabrication (Veteran) Status Panel
Need level: Situational
This is Essential add on for veteran Halls of Fabrication. It gives mechanical alerts content as well as timers for mechanics.


Description
This addon provides a status panel with useful information for certain bosses in the Veteran version of Halls of Fabrication. This addon is particularly useful for tanks and raid leads.

Boss #1:

• Displays the current health percentages of both bosses, so that players don't need to install one of those bulky combat UI overhaul addons in order to keep track of the relative health of the bosses.

Boss #2:

• Displays the severity of the Scalded healing debuff, and if the debuff is active, the time remaining on the debuff.
• The Scalded healing debuff increases in strength based on how long you were in the steam and can range from 10% to 100% (at which point you cannot be healed at all). This feature will let you know the current strength of the debuff on you.
• Displays the amount of time that last elapsed since the previous Simulacra (split) mechanic.
• Splits happen approximately once every 45 seconds, but the timing can vary; in particular, overlap of mechanics can cause a significant delay in the split mechanic.
• Notifies a player if it detects that a Simulacra and Centurion Hammer strike are about to strike that player at around the same time.
• Unfortunately, the amount of warning given is usually less than a second before it becomes too late to react, and there is no way to know and to warn of this any earlier.

Boss #4:

• Displays the current health percentages of all three bosses, so that players don't need to install one of those bulky combat UI overhaul addons in order to keep track of the relative health of the bosses.
• Displays the amount of time that has elapsed since the start of the previous Overload/Overheat channels.
• The Overload/Overheat channels (aka, the boss 4 tank swap mechanic) happens approximately once every 30s. The exact timing varies slightly (more so if it happens to coincide with a boss stun).
• The timer is reset to 0s at the start of the swap mechanic. So seeing that the timer has reset means that the swap mechanic is currently underway, which can be helpful for the times when the visual effect is obscured by other ongoing combat effects.
• Knowing that swaps happen approximately every 30s, players can also watch the timer to know when the bosses are nearing the start of the next swap mechanic.
• By default, the timer is visible only if you have the tank role selected and/or if you are the group leader. This can be overridden by typing the /hofntimer timer into chat, which will show the timer even if you are not a tank or group leader.
• Displays the amount of time that has elapsed since the start of the previous trap spawn channel by the Reactor.
• Traps spawn approximately every 30s, but the timing is variable and can vary in either direction by a few seconds.
• This should help groups better coordinate when to bring the bosses in for a stun.
• By default, the timer is visible only if you have the tank role selected and/or if you are the group leader. This can be overridden by typing the /hofntimer timer into chat, which will show the timer even if you are not a tank or group leader.

Boss #5:

• Notifies of the start of the Exhaustion debuff in execute and displays the current stage of the debuff and the number of seconds spent at the current stage.
• This debuff is the cause of the increased incoming damage late in execute, and once it is applied to the group, it will increase in strength every 15 seconds.
• Since each stage of the debuff lasts 15 seconds, if, for example, you see that you are 13 seconds into the second stage of the debuff, you will know that the third stage will hit imminently.
• This may help groups that use mitigation ultimates to better plan and time their use.

Asylum Sanctorium Status Panel
Need level: Situational
This is Essential add on for veteran Asylum Sanctorium. It gives mechanical alerts content as well as when to focus on minis.

Description
Status panel guide:
Saint Llothis the Pious (only when engaged with Olms)

• Number of seconds since the last Defiled Blast (green mini-timer) The time between this mechanic is approximately 22±2s
• Number of seconds since the last Oppressive Bolts channel (orange mini-timer) The time between his channels is variable, but there is a minimum of 12s between channels. This can be used to help identify windows where it is safe for interrupters to briefly turn their attention elsewhere.
• Number of seconds since the last Pernicious Transmission (teleport)The time between this mechanic is approximately 30±5s
• Enragement timing
• When the mini-boss is active, this timer counts up and tracks how long the boss has been active. Enragement starts when the boss has been active for 3 minutes.
• When the mini-boss is inactive, this timer counts down and tracks how long it will be before the mini-boss reactivates.
• Enragement status
• If the mini-boss is enraged, a number will appear here showing the degree of enragement. Every 20s, enragement increases in intensity, up to a maximum of 6 stacks.

Saint Felms the Bold (only when engaged with Olms)

• Number of seconds remaining on the teleport cooldown
• After Felms' third Teleport Strike, there is a 20s cooldown before he will teleport again. This timer counts down the number of seconds remaining in this cooldown.
• Enragement timing (same as above)
• Enragement status (same as above)

Storm the Heavens

• This timer tracks the number of seconds since the last Storm the Heavens (i.e., Olms' "lightning rain") mechanic.
• This mechanic is scheduled to happen every 35s, but can be delayed by other mechanics that are in progress or queued. In particular, it would appear that both the steam breath and the execute-phase fire mechanics take precedence over the storm.
• For example, if the main tank sees that the timer is at 34s and Olms is starting a steam breath, they might call to the group, "Lightning after Olms finishes this steam breath".
• Note: During execute, the addition of the fire mechanic competing for scheduling means you will sometimes see Storm the Heavens happen as late as 50s.

Ordinated Protector

1. When a Protector is active, the timer will be white (<75s or="" orange="">75s) and will count the number of seconds since the Protector's spawn. Protectors must be killed within 90s of spawning to avoid the spawning of an additional penalty Protector.
2. After a Protector dies, the timer will turn green and will count the number of seconds since the Protector's death; the next Protector will spawn 10±2s after the previous Protector's death.
3. Penalty Protectors are not tracked since they do not spawn additional Protectors upon death.

Maim

• This will appear if you are affected by Felms' Maim and will count down the number of seconds remaining.
• The purpose of this is to give better feedback to the player of when they are maimed, in hopes that it will make it easier for the player to learn to avoid the things that can maim them.

On-screen notifications:
Oppressive Bolts (Llothis)

• This is a 2-part ability. Llothis will do a knockback with a 1-second cast time, followed by a 6-second channel. This notifies at the start of the 1s knockback ability. Ideally, if Llothis is interrupted during the 1s knockback ability, the 6s channel can be avoided entirely.

Teleport Strike (Felms)

• This notifies the players who are targeted by Felms' Teleport Strike. Players who are assigned to kite the Teleport Strikes are advised to also keep an eye on the cooldown timer in the status panel.

Exhaustive Charges (Olms)

• This notifies a player if they are targeted by Exhaustive Charges (i.e., "static lightning pool"). This notification differs from the notification in Raid Notifier in that this notification happens slightly later, once a target has been acquired. RN's notification will notify everyone, even if they are not targeted, because at the point RN notifies, targeting information is not yet available.

Add Spawns (Olms)

• Notification of when a Protector or mini-boss has spawned.
• Note: As of version 1.1.1, this notification is disabled by default, as it is made redundant by the new Protector timer.
