Tasear's Tree House

Notes:

So first off winter respite is cute set. It's not a game breaking set, but will be nice in pvp or on a tank healer in PvE. Also will be very beginner friendly set for new healers. I say not bad and with a touch of frost makes it a cool set.

Next we O.O what you would think would be a dps set for magicka but unfortunately will be a most likely required all the time set for healers in upper levels of gameplay. Why they thought any dps would proc off balance of a tank or healer is beyond me. This is a about 6 percent damage increase to groups so good luck convincing your groups not for you to wear it.

They are getting better with healer sets... if you ignore abomination set that was supposed to be or magicka dps. Kyne's wind is a nice sustain set that while not overpowered like last one is defitently got's it's usage

Now lets say you pvp heal then torc will be a nice set to use. If for some reason sustain actually becomes important in pve for healers again then this set would be nice...

P.S I want more bank space now....

Classes

Necromancer
Tether abilities, such as Restoring Tether and Shocking Siphon, are now once again on the Global Cooldown, and have had their targeting improved furthermore.
Bone Tyrant
Bone Goliath:
The heal for this ability and its morphs will no longer trigger from Mend Wounds or its morphs, and states it requires dealing damage to proc.
Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs would end abruptly if they ranked up while it was active.
Grave Grasp: Fixed an issue where casting this ability in rapid succession would cause the final Area of Effect to fail to spawn.

Nightblade

Siphoning
Siphoning Strikes: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could proc off Mend Wounds and its morphs. The soul-stealing power of this ability is now reserved for damaging Light and Heavy Attacks.
Soul Shred: The synergy granted from this Ultimate and its morphs will now work for allies who are 10 meters or closer to the target, rather than 10m or further.

Templar
Restoring Light
Rite of Passage: Fixed an issue where this ability could not be block cancelled after beginning it, despite its morphs being able to.

Notes: It's mostly some bug fixes... especially nightblade ultimate makes more practical sense in usage.

Changes

Draugr’s Rest: Increased the total healing done of this set to 19404 over its duration, up from 11000.

Chokethorn:
This set now heals for 24409 health over 6 seconds, rather than 19565 health over 4 seconds.
Increased the proc chance to 15%, up from 10%.
Reduced the range of the beam from 28 meters to 15 meters in order to help introduce more counterplay with its stronger heal.

Earthgore:
This set now heals for 29700 health over 10 seconds, rather than 30000 over 6 seconds, to reduce the burst heal potential.
Reduced the cooldown to 20 seconds from 35 seconds.

Sentinel of Rkugamz:
Removed the proc chance from this set.
Reduced the tick count of the heal and resource restore by 1.
Increased the Magicka and Stamina restore to 125 per tick, up from 115.

Shadowrend:
This set no longer applies Minor Maim to targets hit for 3 seconds, and instead reduces their damage done by 5% for 2 seconds. This debuff cannot stack from multiple sources.

Symphony of Blades:
This set now restores 570 resource per tick, down from 2325.
The cooldown of 18 seconds is now applied per target, rather than overall.

Troll King:
Reduced the Health Recovery granted by this set to 925, down from 1548.

Timeless Blessing:
Reduced the cost reduction of this set to 21%, down from 27%.
The Perfected version of this set no longer has a unique value, and instead grants up to 877 Max Magicka.

Robes of Transmutation: This set now grants 1400 Critical Resistance for 5 seconds when the proc conditions are met, rather than 1304 for 20 seconds.

Notes

Other

• Healing and Shield-related synergies will take utmost priority.
• Utility, Buff, and Debuff synergies will appear next.
• Strictly Damage-related synergies are last in priority.
• In a situation where Purify, Conduit, and Combustion are all available to activate and are given to you, Purify (Healing) will appear first, then Combustion (Utility), then Conduit (exclusive Damage).

Bug Fixes

Pet summoning abilities now have a preventative window after completing their cast that prevents attempting to summon them again while they’re already alive.

Pets will now properly inherit their parent’s bonuses related to armor, such as Concentration or Prodigy.

Fixed an issue where pets could not inherit the Bloodthirsty or Charged traits.

Fixed an issue where pets could fail to summon if you immediately began sprinting after casting.

Mend Wounds:
Fixed an issue where Heavy Attacks could fail to chain properly after using this ability.
Fixed an issue where you could still get Magicka from heavy attacking a target with this ability without actually healing them.

Undaunted
Blood Altar: Fixed an issue with the synergy visuals, causing it to fail to appear to some allies as well as being able to appear to enemies.

Healing Mage:
This set now more accurately procs off abilities that meet its stated requirements.
Fixed an issue where the enemies affected by this debuff in the area around you did not match the typical sort selection - prioritizing the nearest enemies.

Notes:

Nothing to complain about, these bugs fixes are nice >.< especially solves mystery on altar synergy thing. Also mending looks back on broad as at least useful and not bugged anymore.

Summoner Spirit

Background: Inspired from ESO Community Discord, Dungeon Sorc Setup that has finally evolved.

Purpose: To maximize the damage output while remaining in a Supportive Healer role without being a hybrid that focuses on individual dps output. I make the claim that Sorcerer Class pulls dungeon healer off best with maximum supportive offensive damage being only comparable to the night blades who specializes in their own offensive dps as they heal.

This build will be able to place more Atros.

Gear

Set 1: Spell Power Cure

Location : White Gold Tower

While some will profess, I am great sinner who just doesn't keep with the times. I simply think there's unrealistic understanding in dungeons healing. Unless you are, you are straight up stack and burning.... at very very top end of game dps, then I will say spell power cure is choice.

To explain more, unlike trials, dungeons have people moving around a lot. You can have one dps over here doing one mechanic while other is focusing on another like stranglers (the newest villain in dungeons) . Then again, you could also all be on different platforms, such as in unhallowed grave.  I could go on, but my point is Olorime is important for trials because there is a greater chance that people are stacking, and olorime works on trial mechanics that spell power cure wouldn't such as stack and burn executes, in cloudrest or halls of fabrication. Of course, spell power cure can only proc on 6 allies (pets now excluded as they share buff from casters)


Set Two: Way of Martial Knowledge

Location: Craglorn

How to use: This set really doesn't work well on bosmers in dungeons, but I have come to be found of it. Unlike, trials. the hit boxes in dungeons realistic in range, I would roll into a fight and use and use a heavy costing stamina Skill. When in close range, bash weave, as appropriate.

Set Three: Blessing of the Potentates set

This set is getting us ready for greymoor, as we got 1 open slot to fill with whatever. What this set does is allow, Sorc class play on their strength.




Bar 1 Enchantment: Crushing Enchant , as most tanks won't have this enchant and even if they do, there are more mobs in dungeons for this to be placed on.

• Bone Surge
• This skill I debated long and hard on, but it I decided to go with it for a few reasons. First off it will provide another synergy in the group with makes it easy for looki users to continue forward. The group shield if used right can in a way prevent what could be a one shot. 
• Combat Prayer
• Standard group but that provides defensive and offensive buff to healers. No healer should be without it.
• Twilight Matriarch
• A strong Burst Heal that heals 2 low health allies
• Illustrious Healing
• Long last heal that is also quite powerful 
• Radiating Regeneration
• Use this before fights to give a prebuff

Bar 2 Enchantment: Shock glyph with a charged trait will eliminated the need for IA in . As it has a high chance to ally same buff (minor Vulnerability) it with light attack unlike IA which needs full heavy to apply it after scalebreaker patch. So save a set and get another buff instead.

• Crushing Shock (flex)
• In dungeons, the healer is excepted to do interrupt or purge role most of the time. This all provides a high chance to proc 3 status effects (with the charged trait), along with range off balance proc  
• Energy Orb
• Standard Heal over time for allies and sustain source
• Twilight Matriarch
• Our Mascot... as Sorc healers
• Storm Blockade
• This is used to set enemies off balanced once every 15 secs and last for 7 secs while also giving double resources back from heavy attacks to allies. 
• Elemental Drain
• Standard debuff and buff still for healers to help with adds and sustain of allies and self. 

Notes

* Currently testing the concept of adding Invigorating drain Over Crushing shock, for increased ultimate generation.

* I haven't updated the enchant on resto staff for build.

Pssh, I am alive or am I? This next update finally takes chisel instead of hammer, and lets us sigh in relief well unless you love group battlegrounds. Moving on, here's are my notes. Feel free to comment below.

Sets

Hiti’s Hearth – Light Armor
2 – Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
3 – Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
4 – Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
5 – When you heal yourself or an ally with an ability, gain a Warming Aura for 10 seconds. While in the Warming Aura, you and group members restore 1020 Health every 1 second and reduce the cost of Sprint, Block, and Roll Dodge by 5%. This effect can occur once every 12 seconds.

Notes:

So been thinking about actual hps ratings and how they are different from overhealing stats people get on eso logs. Then occurs to me, that these are healers with best timing of heals. They truly give heals when it's needed. It's a standard metric for reaction time for healers. These are healers who will get you when you most needed in best amount of time.

So I set up to improve it a little more and though picking best results this was best hps score I gotten, but no different from raw healing aka over healing numbers.

War Spirit

(3 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) When you heal a friendly target that is at 100% Health, you have a 50% chance to give them Major Courage for 10s which increase their Weapon and Spell Damage by 258.

Note: You can can use Olorime or Spell power cure. I would consider what kind of group and which dungeon you will be entering before picking which set.

Why these Gear Choices?

Major courage is standard choice of gear for any healer that give about raw buff in dps around 5% . Spell power cure for dungeons is my picked as you can use the buff, before the fight, and works better in less corindated groups along with out side stack and burn situations.  As noted there is another set that gives major courage if user prefers it.

There's nobody, but I debating spell power cure usage, but I will give a pro list of each one that people can make their own decision on, and not annoy me debate of it. It's about flexible vs effective in this case.  But here... it goes so not leading people astray.

SPC
* Works better in more mobile fights (Bloodroot, fang lair, frost vault...etc)
* Works better when stack and burn isn't really an option
* Works better when groups are more focused on understanding mechs
* Allows you to buff before the fight

Olorime
* Longer duration by far with 30 secs
* More Engaging then spc
* Easier to keep uptime with good groups


Material Knowledge is used, because Master Aritect doesn't work on Sorc class... >..> as overload isn't a real ultimate. Powerful Assault was exluded.... because it gives bad raw stats, and would take unnecessary bar slot. Infallible Aeather was excluded, because of the changes to set during course of scalebreaker that makes necessary to do a full heavy attack, and other options to provide this buff  and save a gear set option. With that in mind, along with the builds's purpose to buff to dps, this became the best choices for Sorc healer combination.

Bar 1 Enchantment: Weakening glyph with infused trait or minor fracture/minor breech poison combination. As the poison is slot able, it gives use a choice depending on group on which debuff to provide.

• Bone Surge
• This skill I debated long and hard on, but it I decided to go with it for a few reasons. First off it will provide another synergy in the group with makes it easy for looki users to continue forward. The group shield if used right can in a way prevent what could be a one shot. 
• Combat Prayer
• Standard group but that provides defensive and offensive buff to healers. No healer should be without it.
• Twlight Maritach
• Strangley buffed in dragonhold so does huge heal that should fill most up back to 100% now.
• Illustrious Healing
• Long last heal that is also quite powerful 
• Radiating Regeneration
• Use this before fights to give a prebuff

Bar 2 Enchantment: Shock glyph with a charged trait will eliminated the need for IA in . As it has a high chance to ally same buff (minor Vulnerability) it with light attack unlike IA which needs full heavy to apply it after scalebreaker patch. So save a set and get another buff instead.

• Storm Plusar (flex)
• In dungeons this is nice for extra minor maim on some common trash pulls. Also has a chance to proc arrane well. To use effectively must be used at start of fight. 
• Energy Orb
• Standard Heal over time for allies and sustain source
• Twlight Maritch
• Strangley buffed in dragonhold so does huge heal that should fill most up back to 100% now.
• Storm Blockade
• This is used to set enimies off balanced once every 20 secs and last for 7 secs while also giving double resources back from heavy attacks to allies. 
• Elemental Drain
• Standard debuff and buff still for healers to help with adds and sustain of allies and self.

Summary

Combat

Summon Winged Twilight: Increased the heal of this ability and the Twilight Matriarch morph to be closer to the heal power of Rushed Ceremony. This will result in approximately 87% increase for the base, and approximately 55% increase for the Matriarch. Note that these abilities will continue to scale exclusively with Max Magicka.

Ball of Lightning (morph): This morph now ranks up in duration of the summoned ball of lightning, which now lasts 3 seconds at Rank IV, up from 2. This morph also adds 2 seconds of snare and immobilization immunity after teleporting.

Streak (morph): This ability now creates a cone behind you after casting that damage and stuns enemies inside of it. The length is now 17 meters with a 40 degree arc, rather than being a 4 x 15 meter rectangle. This means the ability will require more precise aiming when attempting to land on top of an enemy, but will require less precise aiming when attempting to cast near an enemy.


Betty Netch:
This ability and its morphs now grant Major Brutality and Sorcery at base, but the base ability no longer restores Magicka every second while active.
These abilities now remove 1 negative effect from you every 5 seconds.
Reduced the duration to 19 seconds from 22 seconds on the base ability.
Blue Betty Netch (morph):
This morph reinstates the Magicka restore functionality.
Reduced the final duration to 25 seconds, down from 27 seconds.

Dive: This ability has received new functionality to help it stand alone as a spammable, but has received some reductions to the base functionality that were in place to make up for the fact that it lacked any gameplay altering effects.
Reduced the damage of these abilities by 10%, and increased their base cost to 2700 from 2430.
If you are at least 12 meters from the target upon dealing damage with these abilities, you now set them Off Balance.

Swarm:
Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 2970 to encapsulate their new functionalities.
These abilities now apply Minor Vulnerability to the target for the duration of the DoT.


Northern Storm (morph):
The Max Magicka granted from this morph is no longer enabled passively by slotting. Instead, it is granted for 30 seconds after activating the Ultimate.
Increased the amount of Magicka granted to 9% from 8%.
This morph now ranks up in 2% Max Magicka granted per rank, up to 15% at Rank I, rather than 1.1% damage done per rank.

Dive: This ability and its morphs now set the target off-balance if you are 7 meters or further, rather than 12 meters.

Conclusion

Speed Spirit

• Boundless Storm
• This is used to give healer more movement to respond to gameplay situations, such as needed to bash, or target ally with buff. Also it pro
• Power Surge
• This skill synergies with the style of free movement speed time for gameplay situations. It will ideally provide greater aoe heal then springs in situations that need heal test, but must be within 18 meters of allies. 
• Note this skill is lacking in reliable of 3 secs, visual cue, and uniqueness for class and range compared to springs. 
• Twilight Matriarch
• Best smart heal in game with easy targeting to lowest health allies within 28 meters with 360 scope. 
• Combat Prayer
• Easy offensive and defensive buff that is considered a staple of healing in ESO. Also a very strong burst heal for any class to use.
• Radiating Regeneration
• Both moprhs have a weird targeting system, and hard to keep up, but use this as a pre-buff, before fights. This morphed is picked over the other, because the single target heal is unrealistic uptime for all 3 allies. If needed a situation that requires other morph I would use healing ward that gives a shield and about same amount of heal but longer duration.

• Crushing Shock
• This is skilled is picked to give a high chance at not 1 but 3 status effects. This works because the staff is charged and increases the chances for status effects. Note due to the enchant of shock, concussion has the highest chance of procing. Also this skill is an interrupt that healers more and more find themselves using.
• Energy Orb
• A bit harder for allies to use but skill should be used early on or at close ranges in dungeons so allies can use it.
• Twilight Matriarch
• Best smart heal in game with easy targeting to lowest health allies within 28 meters with 360 scope. 
• Blockade of Storms
• This is used for easier off balance and aoe off balance chance. Note: Enmies that are off balance allow allies double resources from light attacks for 4 secs (referenced in clockwork update)
• Elemental Drain
• Used to help with penetration in dungeons (that typically have more mobs), and give allies magicka steal. 

Ah remember the days when nobody believed we would ever have the class? It was a dead horse right next to dragons coming to Elder Scrolls Online. (Jokes on them) After five years, our dream came true didn't it?

At last some found themselves disappointed or more disjointed from their ideals. As a main healer.. I was disappointed... as I looked at the skills. The skills look so similar to my Sorc.... that I wondered this was Sorc healer 2.0. Then again I said that about warden too didn't I.... Still the fault was mine for telling myself I wouldn't enjoy, before I played it. Mind you this was only for healing necromancer.

I laughed and enjoyed necromancer tank I think even in my dreams. Yes this was the tanking class I had been waiting for all these years.I saw many things do with and even claimed myself going to stars aka lead board with it. The gameplay made me feel like a boss that fought bosses... I mean the ultimate did make that side after all. Still the best part was all movement, and ways to design the tank, I event thought I might need another necro tank later.

At last once I got it to 50, I tried the healer out again, and realized my head was so full of necromancer  tank and my negative thoughts, before that I almost missed out on experience. As I got more skills to heal with I found myself enjoying it more. Still if there was one thing I would change is order of the skills as you don't get to experience tether feeling to much later. After getting tethers, the game play feels different, and interesting. I get the more timing kinda of feel they declared with the class as I level it more.

Still only have way there on my healer, but I can see myself making 1 to 2 ...and maybe pushing to 3 more necromancers in future, so I think class is well done in fun department, but what do you guys think?


Are you having Fun with Necromancer Class? Take the poll here:  https://strawpoll.com/9rzcbzb1

Onwards the 3rd attempt with vSS we crushed the fire boss with new tactics... let just burn the fire atros....we ended running like a smooth machine and got the fire done in hour. The tactics involved less movement of lots of call outs to get back into position. This method... is probably called "stack and burn".

Someone asked me a question that took me a very long time to get the answer. So let me explain my system. I have sorted healing gear sets by play styles that I think are most befitting of the class for healing.

Sorc Healer-  Stores whatever I want, and pet healer set stuff

• Examples Necropotence, Shalks, Eye of Nahviintaas

Warden Healer -  Stores defensive healing gear

• Meritorious Service, Mending, Inventor Guard

Templar Healer - Balanced Healer,  Stores hps healing, stores sustain gear

• Healer habbit, Light speaker, drauger rest, ancient grace, will power

DK Healer - Stores Shield Healing sets

• Prayer Shawl, Combat Physician, Urvus, Infernal Guardain, Naga Shaman 

NB Healer - Stores Dps healing gear, and  low cost ultimate healing/Support/ hps healing gear

• Destructive Mage, Lamina Song, Master Architect, Coldharbour’s Favorite

Necro Healer -   rezzing and critical healing, and moon dancer set

• Hanu's Compassion, Vastarie's Tutelage, Kags

Frost Warden Tank Healer - Warden Healer started to overfill with gear setups so had to branch off and put hybrid tank/healer gear with a new toon for those 3 dps runs!)

• Bastion defendar, alexmina mercy, Automated Defensive

Bank - pvp healing gear, the popular aka meta sets,

The Developers and Class reps have done a really good job so far what we can see from changes so far. The indirect effects on healing role are most exciting for myself.

• Nightblades will lose Minor Berserk.

• While nightblades aren't happy with the change, it's a necessary change that fixes issues with healers and dps comparisons.  Having this on nightblades, before promoted nightblade only parties that could maintain this uptime without healers

• Necromancers can self synergize as Tanks

• Necromancer can use a class skill to active their own synergy. This combinded with  Haven of Ursus means tanks maybe not need synergies for healers to keep uptime or the very least orbs will be enough that gives nightblade, and dragon knight healers more chances in competitive gameplay.

• Tooth of Lokkestiiz will promote the need for healer role

• While necro dps can use this set on their own with other classes they will need a healer to provide uptime for them. 

Tooth of Lokkestiiz

Set bonus

(2 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage

(3 items) Gain Minor Slayer at all times, increasing your damage done to Dungeon, Trial and Arena monsters by 5%

(4 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage

(5 items) When you activate a Synergy, gain Major Slayer for 15 seconds.

• Better Healer set Design
• They are moving away designing healer set just to heal in such that they support playstles of tank/healers, healer/dps, and competitive Healers with gear design as seen in previous article.
