There is an answer: ESO isn't WOW or FFXIV the healer role on this game doesn't work like that. Healing on ESO is very proactive rather than the reactive healing you see in some other games. Meaning keeping all HOTs up all the time is very important here, over-healing is important here (within reason). If you try to do damage in a Healer setup the output is negligible (try logging yourself in a raid trying to do damage on a full healer setup and you'll see) and when you don't focus on keeping HOTs up all the time you start having deaths from players here and there. So Healers are usually most effective at improving fight times by keeping up buffs and debuffs while proactively healing to prevent a DPS death. For score teams when they need a healer to do damage the solution is to convert one of the two healers to a full DPS or Support DPS with a full healer "solo healing." If an encounter comes up that requires two healers that DPS can convert back to a Healer for that encounter. This is done on PC with an add-on like wizards wardrobe. On console either with a slow manual swap or the player has two characters ready and drops group mid raid to swap character to the needed setup. So it just comes down to game design. Players take lots of dot and chip damage in PvE and healer setups don't usually output good damage.

@@FaceheadMcGee I see how this makes sense but I've played so many MMOs were healers are at their best when they have some DPS so it still feels wrong. I guess I'll just have to actually get into Trials with my guild as a healer and see how it plays out just to disprove my own biases here lol. Thank you for the in depth explanation though.

@@zaferoph no problem! I know what you mean, the healing experience feels very different on ESO. Just bear in mind Hard Mode Trials with competent DPS are usually the frame of reference for META in this game. Normal Mode trials are such a joke of non-difficulty that any incorrect setup or bad habits could be made to seem valid.

@@FaceheadMcGee oh no I fully intend to get geared for Vet trials to get a feeling for it. I've been around enough to know that usually nothing except the hardest content is representative of how good a build is.

@@zaferoph Nice! You'll probably go far if you want to thinking like that!

Thanks!! On my channel I have healer guides for each class (the for beginner series) that touch on skill usage visually. Echoing Vigor is a sticky Heal over Time (HOT) just like radiating but longer lasting and hits more people per cast. Echoing Vigor you keep up on cooldown (let it fall off for just a moment so the code doesn't derp out on it especially when running PA) and hitting it 2X in a row can give full group coverage in a group of 12 (not strictly necessary if you have a co healer assuming you'll both be casting vigor once). Sticky HOTS like vigor and radiating are especially important in dynamic, mobile fights with vAS probably being the best example those two skills are very important there. All the HOTs are important you generally want to keep them up on cooldown and place them strategically (because ESO is a proactive healing game where addressing damage before it happens is very important). Every fight is different so I linked some good healers in the description or check out my own channel I suggest watching POVs of actual fights and thinking about what the healers are doing and why they're doing it. But to fully answer this question for everyone here's how I would suggest learning the healing skills in this order: -Go to a Target Dummy (guild house, friends, yours,.... 21 million raid dummy preferred for the sustain buffs but it doesn't matter any dummy fine) -Stand there Practicing JUST Radiating Regeneration. LightAttk, Radiating. pause.... LightAttk, Radiating, pause...(pause being the 1 s Global cooldown) -[Because radiating is your spammable use it to practice your light weaving but also ingrain it in your brain that it is the default thing you do]. -Next step start with Combat Prayer, Echoing Vigor, Illustrious Healing, and Energy Orb. Stand there at the dummy focusing on keeping those skills up on cooldown. Just refresh them as they fall off. When everything is still active keep using Radiating (your spammable you practiced before) while you wait on one of those skills timers to fall off. Combat prayer is used like a buff for the Minor Berserk so its every 10 s with that skill unless people are dying in which case it becomes your emergency burst heal but that won't happen on a target dummy. -Once this is second nature add everything else, your class buffs, heals, blood altar, lighting wall, etc. The goal is have your entire setup second nature. -Then you learn to apply this in each raid situation. Like in vas you'll rely heavily on radiating and vigor. One AOE HOT like illustrious to the right of dragon's tail. Budding seeds or whatever left of tail etc. Or cloudiest you'll try and get your hots on new tail before or as the group arrives during transition while keeping everything up. Every situation is different so studying trifecta POVs becomes important here but you're always trying to keep everything up generally its just a matter of where to put them and in what order.

@@FaceheadMcGee Thank you very much!

Huh unless that's vAS something isn't going right but it's hard to say without a log or POV. Feel free to DM me on discord if you want to discuss it I'm in most of the big ESO discords like ESOU, Healers Haven, Eigh1Puppies server, etc. Too much HPS can be a bad thing but hitting 60k HPS overheal shouldn't be an issue. Make sure you're keeping all your HOTs up so vigor, orb, and illustrious should be up on cooldown. Then using radiating as a spammable when you have nothing else to reapply and using combat prayer as a every 10s buff the HPS should naturally be around 60k assuming your team is alive and with you and you are setup correctly.

@@FaceheadMcGee I only started playing healer 2 day back and made the comment yesterday. When I first heard 60k hps I was shocked because I only had 4 khps at max for some fights. Then I went into the logs to check again and found that eso logs never count overheal. Then I again added overheal and still found that my hps was less than 30k for half of the fights. After that I made the above comment. Now, I need to clarify somethings. I only did pug trials with some randoms. Also I only ran spc/pillager and pearls for all of these trials. I logged only for 1 trial to check how I was doing. if you want to check and see how bad it is just type character name templarsmash. Also I had no intentions of griefing anyone. I saw the amount of healers doing pug trials are low so I created a healer character and went through the guide given in healers haven to understand what needs to be run for each trial. I also have done veteran trials multiple times as a dd so I know mechs for the most. I also run trials with my guild and my guild does 1 trial each week which is very less. So, I always go for pug trials to learn and try new things which help you understand a lot more in my opinion. I did sunspire, rockgrove, sanitys edge and kyne aegis. In sunspire the raid lead told us to take turns for tombs and there won't be any dd helping us with tombs. Now, imagine this is my first time as a healer and I had to do something like this. I was able to heal the tomb(without blackroseprison resto staff btw) and we somehow completed the whole trial. Same with sanity's edge I did not find any problem there and did heal the tomb without any problem. For rock grove, I was the kite healer for 2 bosses and it was hella hard especially in the first boss where the off tank does not pull the frogs and I had to heal myself with vigor a lot to survive. (That actually lowered the amount of hps i could have done and I died twice). I also did kyne aegis which went ok I guess. Playing with random pugs actually helps you to experiment and learn a lot. But a lot of the pugs are prone to failure. Just one more point, i could not find a single healer youtuber who does somethings like what hyperioxes do. He actually makes incredible tank guides which are good for both veteran and beginners. I know there is healers haven discord but what they have are written guides( and I hate written guides ). I will send a DM to you tomorrow and we can have a look at how bad i did(I am always ready to learn).

You're right I'm so sorry!! The 4th skill slot is "Combat Prayer" its the morph of "Blessing of Protection." from the Restoration Staff Skill Line.

Could you describe a little more about what you're looking for I'm not sure I understand? This video covers the bulk of ESO healing you just add the class skills to the blanks so Budding seeds on frontbar, expansive frost cloak on backbar and room for a flex skill. In this game Healers and Tanks are always part-buffer + part-role (heal/tank) so the distinction of buffer/debuffer role isn't made its always assumed. You'll usually have 2 healers even for trifectas and they tend to be designated as things like Group Healer & Kite Healer or Group Healer & Tomb Healer or just Healer 1 & Healer 2. When score pushing, which I left out of this guide, is the goal then you'll see things like 1 solo healer and the spot for the 2nd healer is converted to a dps or support dps. I have a simplified starter's warden only guide if that is what you're looking for: ruclips.net/video/X4fgA-4GoqY/видео.html

@@FaceheadMcGee thx to reply !

@@FaceheadMcGee yeah you answered me well because I wanted to know if there was a class that could optimize the buff/debuff of a group but as you told me, at HL classes have part+role something... like a classe have all (or some) minor or major buff on frontbar and same for debuff on backbar and thank you for the video I started with it

​@@styrkaar3804 You're welcome! Yeah all the classes offer something as a buffer/debuffer. Class META can change over time so do what makes you happy META class composition only matters for score pushing.

@@FaceheadMcGee thx for all and all your vidéo that's a crazy work! I found what I was looking for in your video! I going spc/ro-jo support! It took me a little while to understand how the high level worked with set interactions... Thx a lot

Bright-Throat's Boast set pieces including the staff can be bought from a guild trader you don't need access to the DLC. If you can't find any you can ask a guild mate to help you acquire them if they have access. There is even a website you can search for called tamrieltradecentre dot com that tells you what traders have items for sale (at least on PC servers it works). If you meant the alternative Blackrose Restoration Staff you would need to run the Blackrose Prison Arena and would need the DLC. The new scribing skill Healing Soul+major vitality can provide the same effect so you can obtain the buff without the staff now. I think winters is pretty underwhelming as a set these days though so my preference is BTB+Almalexia unless my group needs me to supply a specific buff in which case the setup will depend on what the group leader is looking for.

@@FaceheadMcGee Thank you very much, now I finally have this issue figured out

Usually lightning for the off balance debuff (DPS running Exploiter champion slottable get a boost from this). Sometimes you need an ice staff for defensiveness or taunts like if you're the healer that taunts Ansuul Hard Mode I would swap to an Ice in that case (as well as running 1 heavy and 1 medium on head and shoulder).

You're Welcome! Yes it can handle hard modes or even trifectas. As you can see from my other vids that is the type of content I do. When I set about making these for beginner series builds I made sure they were something easy to make while also being confident I could do any trifecta with them. Same setup I use on my EU alt account too where I don't have much farmed out. Eventually if you like playing support and really want to get into it you'll end up collecting a lot more gear but it's not necessary when you're starting out. To be honest when its time to upgrade you'll kinda know what you're doing at that point without having to use a guide BUT I have a guide on advanced META level healing as well if you're interested ruclips.net/video/_I_MaR9mUow/видео.html

Feel free to pull up to my twitch stream and ask me any questions you might have. Otherwise more to come on RUclips in the near future!

Cozen!!

Current in that Negates are META and unknown in that scribing is new. I'm looking at Mender's Bond with Restore Resources and Sage's Remedy as the big thing I want to add to my healers in PvP. The Minor Heroism addition as well. I do feel squishier to the new scribing skills on all my characters not sure yet if I need scribing skill counters or if I just need to adjust my gameplay to counter. The whole thing is built around pearls so personally I won't be looking to drop them. Pearls remain as strong as ever after the update. If you really want to drop them I would look to make this build more tank-like (since mag will no longer need to be your dominant resource) and I would try adding the scribe skill Soul Burst>Healing+Anchorites Potency (the consume soul gems for ultimate effect). Build into sustain as well since you'd no longer be concerned with keeping mag below 50% all the time.

Ron outside of cyrodiil!!

@@FaceheadMcGee I creep out every once in a while!

My setup is in description. Hawkeye is SPC/MA/Naz/Pearls through first and SPC/PP/Oze/Pearls after on a Nightblade.

Thank you!

@@FaceheadMcGeeare you running just one monster pc or are you bb/fb each set?

@@mrkshway It's in the description but to clarify its Nazaray until we beat first boss and then the monster helm is dropped after as I have to double bar MA to get it to work with Sax and pearls. I put a 1 piece healing effect monster on with the MA/Sax. So on first boss it's SPC fb and MA bb.

Thanks! I use Bretons for the sustain. My personal philosophy is that Healers should be infinite magicka batteries.

Thx for quick answer 🫶🏻

@@FaceheadMcGee What combination did u play for the scribing skill?

​@@luggas_v6307 Its going to be actual vs what I was supposed to have. Actual Run: MENDERS BOND: Healing/Sage's Remedy/Breach Roster Comp: MENDERS BOND: Healing/Sage's Remedy/Brittle New content so farming was kinda RNG.

Elves!!! BIG ty

Thanks! Artaeum Pickled Fish. Soothing Tide, Swift Renewal, Rejuvenator From the Brink. Boundless Vitality, Rejuvenation, Expert Evasion, Celerity. Steeds Blessing. Have your Co-Healer slot Enlivening Overflow instead of From the Brink or whatever since you won't need to double up on those.

@@FaceheadMcGee Thankyou!!

Icky!🔥🔥🔥

Had to pretend I was using them the whole time to avoid a panic attack #brainhacks

Thank you so much for filling a ton you were a part of this too!

Was sorely missing Wizard's Wardrobe and Fancy Action Bar!

It's a thing now! They add a new Trial every year and dungeons all the time, there's quite a lot to do in PvE now.

The build hasn't really changed although I'm still waiting for a consensus on any META changes with scribing having been recently added. I've been playing around with adding the scribing skill Mender's Bond (with Sage's Remedy - the heal over 5 s effect). So that goes on front bar (Resto Bar). Some of the new ultimate generating scribing skills look like they could be really powerful as well.

@@FaceheadMcGee idk how you survive in all light armor.

@@nosillarva Almalexia's Mercy set has lines of "Adds Armor" in it. Light Armor Bonuses reduce damage from magical attacks and has some footwork related bonuses as well. Light armor ups spell resistance. Reinforced traits. Keep Living Dark up! Since my sustain is really good and I'm a healer I can convert my magicka bar into health on demand. After that it's just footwork like I talk about at 05:02 in the video. Play smart and you live. Practice, practice practice!

I disagree or rather I think the problem isn't healing but the tankyness they allow you to build into non-tank roles. There was a time when I could be un-killable on a healer back when Winter's Respite was a new set but those days are long gone. If I make a proper healer, where magicka is the dominant resource, if I misplay I die. This build is an example of, what to me is, a proper healer. If I don't use my head I'm dead. But then you see DPS and Healers that put full into Health Attributes and maybe a Tank set with their Heal or DD set for good measure. Players seem to be terrified of dying in this game and the devs, perhaps, have fed into that fear by allowing them to build Tank-DDs or Tank-Healers. I've always felt conflicted about this since it seems absurd to me that a full blown tank could kill another player on the other hand my PvP buddies have always adapted and found ways to kill these "Tanks" despite it all. I wouldn't mind if it was easier to die in PvP. That said, Healers in PvP do need some Tankyness. They don't have the offensive pressure a DD has that will force opponents to get defensive so their main way to manage offensive pressure is to be part tank.

So if you're farming Infinite Archive you'll want either a proper PvE DPS or proper PvE Tank. As a support I go the Tank route myself because it's the closest I can get to being a healer in that place haha. I just use the free armory station in my house and I save one as Healer and one as Tank. I just stick to healing so if you want to go the DPS route I can recommend my teammate's guides he's BIG on making these: ruclips.net/video/7HOwkRyCFnI/видео.html Or if you want to go the Tank route Hyperioxes has good tank builds: ruclips.net/video/Pf217OBW1Lc/видео.html

Thanks! I don't know the range of the heal morph's heal. I always use Power of the Light, the stamina morph, personally. Templar pushes plenty of healing so helping the DDs do more damage is better if you can.

I'll wear the title with pride. Next time you're out there blowing snow just remember YOU have a Pocket Healer.

No not really unless you're taunting something (like Ansuul Hard Mode). You want as much light armor passive Magicka sustain (evocation) as possible especially for a beginner build. If you're over sustaining you could add 1 to 2 medium via monster set, but that is more of an endgame Pearls Ehlnofey healer issue. Healers can always convert their Magicka bar into survivability via healing & buffing but only if they never run out of Magicka. A Healer should be an infinite Magicka battery IMO. I've always found the benefits of sustain a lot more noticeable than the slight tri-resource increase from undaunted.

@@FaceheadMcGee Thank you for the clarification and your prompt reply!

Shock Staff for off balance (exploiter) is my default but if I need something to make myself tankier Ice Staff. Ice staves help with brittle but tanks usually have it covered and Arcanist added Rune Colorless Pool. For example if taunting Ansuul HM as Healer do an Ice Staff with 1 Heavy 1 Medium and 5 Light gear and just perm block that thing until it teleports you (credit to Ickypiggy for Ansuul setup; when Sanity's Edge came out I was trying to make roll-dodge-healer the thing and it did NOT work well haha).

Potions: Ultimate Potions are pretty strong on Healer. Faster Ult -> More Damage I almost always use these. When scribing releases with Gold Road Chapter some scribe skills will give the Minor Heroism buff so you might be able to avoid buying these expensive things after that. If it's not something sweaty enough for Ultimate potions I just use Alliance Spell Potions (or their crafted equivalent). Tri effect potions would work too (health/stam/mag).

Scribing is going to be interesting I'm pumped. Not sure we'll know fully what kind of meta shifts we'll see until it goes live. Been on PTS but who knows what will happen once it actually releases. I have my eye on Mender's Bond -> Sage's Remedy as a healer, seems strong. Also all the Ultimate generating options - I think those will be HUGE.

@@AIex777 No not really. I find myself running Transmutation Set on the frontbar more though. My group has had more luck with that these days. So I flexed out eye of grasp like I mentioned in the video. Also you can play around with menders bond+major vit or healing soul+major vit that addition seems really potent. I didn't add it to my Sorcerer but I've been running menders bond with major vit on my PvP templar.

Yes this is exactly the Healer build for that kind of thing. It is selfish for survivability and has excellent sustain. It is my "Main" Healer on xbox, the one I have used the most over the years and will take to any PvP situation: Solo, Small Group, Ball Group, Battleground, Zerging, Faction Stacking even dueling. It also works great as a tank for PvE Random Normal Daily Dungeons (don't forget to throw a taunt on)! Just keep in mind in PvP zones it is not a Tank so if you stand still out in the open field in the middle of an enemy Zerg they will kill you at some point. You will need to kite and play smart like any Healer. Movement is very important for solo play as you lack group buffs that increase your survivability, pay special attention to your footwork when playing solo. You can throw more attributes into health too if you feel you need to.

From Xbox originally myself and everything here applies to any platform. You're limited in the amount of swaps you can do on console but they're still possible. You have a moment to change gear and skills after finishing trash and before pulling a boss. Again after killing a boss you have a swap moment. In extreme case I've even seen console teams have 2 characters set up and the player will drop group and swap to another character with another setup (for example if a DPS needs to convert to a healer for a final boss or something). You can see console score pushers applying this in their videos if you dig around. A few examples: ruclips.net/video/-FxThTEBfdY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hGdTITYCPSA/видео.html

Well tbh guy, f#!% console players, you holding back the game for so long in potential. We could have endless housing slots, less loading screens and fluent lagfree pvp without console Adaption. Who really plays an MMO on console, it is like playing drum on a trashcan and expecting to be a rockstar. Let ZOS finally cook for PC only content

@@skn0589 go back under the rock you crawled from.

Thanks! Really appreciate it. I worry over if I'm making things accessible to people who don't play the game a ton, so this helps me know I'm getting some things right. ESO is a really fun game I think it shines in endgame though, which, unfortunately means many people never get to that level and never realize how fun it becomes. It rewards skill. A lot of people myself included find only certain roles appeal to them. Tank, Healer, or DPS depending on the person. I didn't like the game until I started healing. Some of my friends refuse to be anything but Tanks. They all play differently.

I think I went my whole life on the internet never once being called a n00b. But finally it happened. I've been called a n00b. And here we are.

bot

@@VerosumaticChromosphere I get bot a lot though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I tested both and found I was dying less in all reinforced. I don't have a satisfactory explanation for this result either so I'm not sure why I had better results with reinforced. I know really good players who are almost unkillable in 3X Reinforced and the rest Impenetrable. But when I try the same I find I do better with all Reinforced. Maybe players are too tanky these days so their critical damage just isn't there? Maybe something about how I play causes me to avoid players that focus critical damage? Or some other reason? Your guess is as good as mine.

@@FaceheadMcGee ok ty :)

Great question! I avoided ice staff as I like being able to heavy attack stamina back on one bar and magicka back on the other bar. You get a bit more tankyness from sword&shield as well even though the ice staff does have similar tankyness in its passives. The shield acts like an extra piece of armor too. I think dual wield would be the better alternative to sword and shield if you were looking for something different with quick cloak for major evasion.

@@FaceheadMcGee hey ok thx :)
