Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Warden Healer Build PvP, the Arborist, for the Elder Scrolls Online!  This build is specifically for healing on a warden in PvP.  It provides amazing support, excellent mobility and great survivability.  It utilizes low cost ultimate skills in order to provide quick healing support to those who are in battle.  It is not recommended for any type of solo play.

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’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, or if you’re playing in a small group and people are using Rallying Cry, this set can be subbed out for other options like Gossamer, Spell Power Cure, Sanctuary or Hiti’s Hearth depending on your preferences and group composition.

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. This set also helps increase the proc healing of Earthgore, since it scales with your maximum magicka in this build.

Attributes

All points into Magicka.

Skills

Front bar – Restoration Staff: Healing Springs, Radiating Regeneration, Living Trellis, Nature’s Embrace, Deceptive Predator, Aggressive Horn

Back bar – 1h/Shield: Energy Orb, Overflowing Altar, Blue Betty, Ice Fortress, Green Lotus, Healing Thicket

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.
