Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Warden Healer, Nature’s Embrace, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for all levels of content: trials, dungeons and general PvE. This build excels at healing and assisting the group as a whole, applying key buffs and status effects for your group that are important to keeping everyone alive and optimizing group DPS.

Setup

Gear

Gear Notes

Vestment of Olorime: Olorime has quickly become a favorite among healers and for good reason. The set is like Spell Power Cure but much easier to proc, which gives it the spot as the main set within healer builds.  If you don’t have Summerset Isles though, Spell Power Cure will still be your best option.

Jorvuld’s Guidance: Amazing set for healers and great regardless of group composition; the extra buff durations benefit everyone as opposed to other sets that just benefit one type of DPS (mag or stam). An alternative to this set is Sanctuary if you want more raw healing output, or The Worm's Raiment for better group sustain in magicka-heavy groups.

Earthgore: Now that we can run a monster set on healers, Earthgore is perfect for that spot.  Adds a lot of healing when healing severely injured party members, making it much easier for you to heal back up a group of players who are low on HP. If you dont have access to Earthgore, Nightflame is a viable replacement.

Attributes

All points into Magicka.

Skills

Main Bar – Restoration Staff: Healing Springs, Energy Orb, Combat Prayer, Healing Ward, Enchanted Growth, Enchanted Forest

Back Bar – Lightning Staff: Lotus Blossom, Elemental Blockade, Elemental Drain, Budding Seeds, Blue Betty, Aggressive Warhorn

NOTE: If you’re on a fight that requires a shield, swap in Harness Magicka. For fights requiring instantaneous purges, you can swap in Efficient Purge into your loadout. For Veteran Trials, fitting Overflowing Altar into your loadout will also be very important since it offers a LOT of healing inside of a trials environment, and the synergy can be the difference between a group-mate living or dying.

Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal

You are playing a vampire for this build.  I feel that when playing a Warden healer in PvE, at least from my experiences in veteran dungeons, the benefits from having vampirism outweigh the negatives.  It isn’t mandatory, but I use it.
