Welcome to the Magicka Templar Healer Build PvE “Reliever” for ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO.
The “Reliever” ESO Templar Healer Build is made for PvE Trials & Dungeons. Healing is a very difficult job, depending on how organized your group plays. There is no “best” setup for a healer build, always make sure to adjust the build to your needs. If you are new to ESO, please make sure to also check out:

Templar Healers have always been a very popular class setup. Their Class tree Restoring Light is specifically made for healing. Overall they have a very good healing output and on top of that, they have a very specific skill called Breath of Life, which is basically a strong burst heal. Extended Ritual allows you to cleanse most of the debuffs and also gives your group members a chance to pick up the Purify synergy, which also cleanses the debuffs from them, very powerful.

Skills for the Templar Healer Build in ESO
Remember, Healers often need to change a few skills out during runs, especially in Trials. Adapting to the right situation is important in ESO.
- If you have Magicka Damage Dealers in your group make sure to activate Purifying Light in combat to activate the Minor Sorcery buff for your group members.
- It is important that Echoing Vigor is on the back bar because the Powerful Assault set is only active on the back bar.

- Illustrious Healing: Very strong heal over time that always has to be kept active.
- Radiating Regeneration: Very strong heal over time that you have to keep up all the time.
- Purifying Light: Activate to gain Minor Sorcery for you and your group via the Illuminate passive.
- Solar Prison: Can be used to mitigate a lot of damage and the synergy deals a crazy amount of damage.
- Channeled Focus: Gives Major Resistances and also greatly improves your sustain.

Scribing Skills
The ESO Scribing System offers plenty of adjustable skills to add to our build. The Scribing Skills aren’t a must have. There are some viable options that you can use in certain situations.
Important: Please read here how to get Grimoires, Focus Scripts, Signature Scripts and Affix Scripts for the ESO Scribing system.
Base Scribing Skill useful to our build:
- Restoration Staff: Mender’s Bond
- Destruction Staff: Elemental Explosion (Dazing Explosion)
To unlock the Mender’s Bond skill you need to reach level 25 in the Restoration Staff skill line. To unlock the Elemental Explosion skill, you need to reach level 25 in the Destruction Staff skill line.
Mender’s Bond
Our Mender’s Bond version tethers yourself to an ally and transfers 10% of the damage the allied player or companions take to you. Heals the ally and other allies when they leave the beam for a huge amount. Additonally, also grants Minor Courage increasing Weapon and Spell Damage by 215. Spell Power Cure already provides us with Major Courage (430 Weap/Spell Damage) and Powerful Assault has a unique buff to give even more Weapon and Spell Damage. This way we fully maximize group support!
Mender’s Bond is a great choice because with our spec it heals for such an insane amount and only requires your allies to touch the beam once.
- Focus Script
- Mitigation (Transfers 10% of damage)
- Signature Script
- Sage’s Remedy (30k Health over 5 seconds)
- Affix Script
- Courage (Minor Courage, 215 Weap/Spell Damage)
Elemental Explosion (Dazing Explosion)
Elemental Explosion turns into Dazing Explosion when we add the scripts below, it is an AoE skill. It allows us to stun enemies for 5 seconds and restores 441 Magicka per enemy hit, basically giving back the cost of the spell when you hit 6 enemies. Most importantly, it applies Minor Brittle to all enemies, increasing their Critical Damage taken by 10%. This debuff is often hard to get. The Stun and Minor Brittle are great effects when you throw the AOE into trash mobs!
- Focus Script
- Stun (Stuns enemies)
- Signature Script
- Druid’s Resurgence (Restore Magicka)
- Affix Script
- Brittle (Applies Brittle to the enemy, increasing their Crit Damage taken)
