Gear Choices
Earthgore: This monster set is incredibly powerful, and the healing proc from this can be the difference between living or dying. This is strong for not only keeping yourself alive, but keeping groups of players alive as well. It received a pretty hefty nerf in Elsweyr, but the set is still absolutely worth using for PvP. It’ll save the person with the lowest HP in the AoE at each tick, so it can save multiple people from certain death over its duration.
Transmutation: Gives a massive amount of critical resistance by healing someone with a HoT, which helps prevent sudden influxes of damage from being put on yourself and others. If someone in your group is already running this, Wizard’s Riposte is another option.
Shacklebreaker: Helps give us strong resource pools as well as sustain them. This is one of my personal favorite sets because of how well balanced of a stat spread it gives your character, and it helps round out the stat pools of this build incredibly well.
Attributes
All points into Magicka.
Skills
Front bar – Restoration Staff: Healing Springs, Radiating Regeneration, Restraining Prison, Ball of Lightning, Summon Twilight Matriarch, Aggressive Horn
Back bar – 1h/Shield: Energy Orb, Overflowing Altar, Power Surge, Boundless Storm, Summon Twilight Matriarch, Absorption Field
Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal
For this build, we play as a mortal since neither vampire nor werewolf give us anything you need. If you want, you could grab Vampire Stage 3 for Undeath, but keep in mind it will hit your sustain.
