Wardens are really good healers because they have a dedicated healing skill-tree called Green Balance. They also have access to Minor Vulnerability through Fetcher Infection and a few other good buffs and debuffs which can be a good boost to damage for the whole group.

Gear Warden Healer

Gear Setup 1

• We are using a frost staff with a frost glyph on the back bar to keep procing Minor Maim and Minor Brittle as well as providing a shield to allies.
• Make sure to use Powerful Assault on Jewelry and the backbar weapon. This is a medium armor set and therefore we need to use jewelry and weapon, otherwise we can’t run light armor on the other pieces.

Skills Warden Healer

It is important that Echoing Vigor is on the back bar, because the Powerful Assault set is only active on the back bar.

If you don’t have Vigor unlocked yet, check out the How to unlock the Vigor Skill Guide, it doens’t take long.

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 5%.
• Illustrious healing: Very strong heal over time.
• Enchanted Growth: This is mainly here to apply Minor Intellect and Minor Endurance to the group and it also can apply Minor Toughness.
• Blue Betty: Keep this up as its your most effective resource management tool.
• Enchanted Forest: Only use this in “oh crap” moments. It is always better to use Warhorn to support your group with more max resources and crit modifier.
• Budding Seeds: Summon a field of flowers which blooms after 6 seconds, healing you and your allies in the area. The ability can be activated a second time to instantly trigger the heal.
• Elemental Blockade: Blockade of Frost grants a damage shields (Frost Safeguard) to protect you and allies from projectiles and immobilizes Chilled enemies.
• Echoing Vigor: Strong area of effect heal over time and also activates the Powerful Assault set in combat.
• Energy Orb: Always make sure that an Orb is present so your group members can activate the synergy for resources.
• Fetcher Infection: Keep this debuff on the enemy, applies Minor Vulnerability, increase damage taken on enemies by 5%.
• Expansive Frost Cloak: (Optional instead of Fetcher Infection) Gives your group Major Resistance buffs, that way they will take less damage if hit by an enemy.
• Aggressive Warhorn: This is your main Ultimate, it buffs the groups resources and increases the critical damage modifier for 10 seconds.

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)

Champion Points for the ESO Warden Healer Build

Important Info for Magicka Warden Healer Build PvE

Buff-food

Ideally you want to use the Clockwork Citrus Filet as it provides you with a little bit extra Magicka and Health. However, that food is quite expensive, the other option is Witchmother’s Potent Brew that has similar stats.

Clockwork Citrus Filet (Max Health, Max Magicka, Magicka Recovery, Health Recovery)
or
Witchmothers Potent Brew (Max Health, Max Magicka, Magicka Recovery)

For more information on how to obtain the consumable and what the current prices are for it please visit the Clockwork Citrus Filet and Witchmothers Potent Brew page.
