Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Magicka Sorcerer Healer Build PvP, Shock Therapy, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for PvP of all kinds: battlegrounds, Cyrodiil, and Imperial City. This build can be played in both CP and no-CP pvp without any changes to the build! This build is made for those who wish to fill the healer role in group pvp. The goal of this build is to provide as much raw healing as possible while buffing our allies.

Setup

Gear

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, Spell Power Cure 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.

Champion Points

The list below showcases the order in which champion points should be acquired, the number of points you need to place into that perk and whether or not it needs to be slotted in the CP bar. The Warfare CP perks increase your damage and mitigation and are the most important, the Fitness tree has some miscellaneous sustain and defensive perks and the Craft tree has crafting and non-combat bonuses.
