The Magicka Dragonknight Healer Build PvE has very strong class based abilities like Cauterize, Cinder Storm and Fragmented Shield. Those Skills in combination with the Restoration Staff Skill-line makes up for a very strong Healer setup! Overall the Dragonknight Healer can push out a lot of heal over times.

Resource Management

We have more than enough Magicka Recovery to be able to sustain without any issues. Using Clockwork Citrus Filet (or Witchmother’s Potent Brew) in combination with a Magicka Recovery Glyph and The Atronach Mundus Stone which also boosts our Magicka Recovery, we get to a pretty good high Magicka Recovery.

Also do not forget to Heavy Attack as Resto Staves give you 30% more resources back! On top of that we have access to Battle Roar and Helping Hands passives in the Earthen Heart Tree, which make sustain even easier. You get so much resources back for activating an Ultimate.

• Battle Roar & Helping Hands
• Magicka Recovery Glyph
• Potions
• Heavy Attacks
• Clockwork Citrus Filet (Witchmothers Brew Drink)

Skills

Remember, Healers often need to change a few skills during runs. So this setup is not maced into stone, adjust it to your needs.

Skill explanation:

• Radiating Regeneration: Very strong heal over time that you have to keep up all the time.
• Combat Prayer: This is your main spammable as a healer, it needs to be on the group members all the time to heal them and increase their damage by 8%.
• Illustrious Healing: Very strong heal over time.
• Obsidian Shard: Huge Burst Heal with a long range. 28m range to the enemy and then it can travel another 28m to heal a ally.
• Fragmented Shield: Applies a small shield and gives you Major Mending for 5 seconds.
• Live Giver Ulti: Heals for a lot and applies several other heals to the low Health Player.
• Cinder Storm: Strong and long lasting heal over time that can be placed on the ground.
• Elemental Blockade: Keep this on the ground as much as possible, when that Elemental Shock Blockade is on the ground with your charged trait, concussion and off balance will almost proc on cooldown, increasing group DPS by a lot.
• Elemental Drain: This ability needs to be on the enemy as much as possible, it debuffs their Spell Resistance and gives Magicka Steal to your whole group, increasing sustain by a lot.
• Energy Orb: Use this as much as possible, when group members activate the Synergy, they restore a lot of resources.
• Cauterize: Very powerful burst heal, shoots Orbs at allies to heal them.
• Aggressive Warhorn: This is your main Ultimate, it buffs the groups resources and increases the critical damage modifier for 10 seconds.
