*Note on dropping Incapacitating Strike from Front Bar: Conventional wisdom is that you must front bar Incapacitating Strike to obtain the Minor Savagery buff from the Hemorrhage passive. My testing suggests that adequate uptimes can be achieved without Incapacitating Strike from Relentless Focus on the Back Bar (as high as 90%). As this is a "For Beginners" guide I'm prioritizing Magicka Sustain over 100% Minor Savagery uptime (Incapacitating Strike will lose its sustain passive in a future update -PTS v9.3.0).

A QuickGuide for making a PvE Nightblade Healer (aka "Blade" or "NB"). I’ve kept this short for simplicity. Not every aspect of healing in ESO is covered as entire lectures could be given on Healing. Generally in ESO the PvE healer is part healer and part buffer/de-buffer. The Build reflects this need from a support role. A lot of problems in the game are solved with more damage and that is what this Build will give your group. Groups have varying and different needs; you may need to change your setup depending on their composition.

Setup

Attributes: 64 Attributes Magicka

FrontBar: Radiating Regeneration, Healthy Offering, Energy Orb, Combat Prayer, Illustrious Healing. ULTIMATE: Replenishing Barrier (or Incapacitating Strike*)

BackBar: Elemental Blockade, Echoing Vigor, Refreshing Path, Relentless Focus (or Siphoning Attacks but put Incapacitating Strike as Frontbar Ultimate if you drop Relentless Focus), Overflowing Altar. ULTIMATE: Aggresive Warhorn.

Gear:
-Sentinal of Rkugams Head & Shoulder Divines with Max Magicka
-Spell Power Cure (SPC) Body Divines with Max Magicka
-Powerful Assualt (PA) Neck and Rings Infused with Spell Cost Reduction.
-Master’s Restoration Staff Powered with Berserker (Wpn/Spell Damage) or a Placeholder Set.
-Powerful Assualt (PA) Shock Staff Infused with Crusher

Alternatives to SPC: Olorime from Cloudrest. You could also pair Roaring Opportunist with Jorvuld’s Guidance (you have to pair them for full effect duration so you’d need to drop Powerful Assault; this combo is known as RoJo). If you don’t have access to any of these sets use a craftable set like Order’s Wrath or Julianos as a placeholder. Farmable base-game-only sets for PvE Healer generally aren’t worth your time. The base game Martial Knowledge set is worth obtaining; however, its not an easy set for begginers to use.

Mundus: Ritual

Champion Points: Rejuvenator, Swift Renewal, Soothing Tide, Flex: (Enlivening Overflow/From The Brink). Boundless Vitality, Expert Evasion, Rejuvenation, Celerity. Steed’s Blessing & any other 3.

Buff Food: Artaeum Pickled Fish or a Blue mag/health Bi-Stat food.

Race: Any.
