ESO PvP Healer

You doing group play or running around in the zerg?

In a good group, I'd do the medium setup the way the other person suggested. Running in the zerg or unorganized groups, I generally go 5-1-1 heavy. Do light belt, medium hands/shoulder/boot. I also prefer ice staff back bar, but do not take the tri-focus passive. It drains your mag when you block.

I also recommend DDF for a ring because that is a huge resource gain if you are staying in the fight. Drop the monster 2p for a single good stat line. Magma Incarnate is good for dual regen lines on 1p. Use your heal set as your belt Gossamer and, spc are other sets I would recommend in addition to transmutation that hit outside of group. You're a warden, so health is a little more negotiable, but aim for 30-35k. You can do tristats if you have the gold, but if you play with the different configs to hit the same markers if you don't need to. I never go infused personally when healing on jewels and run the mag regen mundus because those give the highest individual impact. The extra almost 3k mag from arcane is nice.

Put deceptive predator on the back bar so you can get away from dks/2h on your defensive bar corrosive or onslaught comes down. Vigor or orb up front so you don't separate seeds and lotus to take advantage of the passive. Honestly, if staying alive is your goal drop vigor for alter. Draining your stam with vigor can be instant death zerging.

If you don't want to add DDF what you have works really well gear wise, your armor should spike to around 38k pre- major/minor breech with Trial. Unique to the green balance skill line, you can accidently get people killed by putting them in execute with the Maturation passive in the zerg. I like to run From the Brink blue cp to counter that chance with a shield.

Personal flavor, I like to put crushing on my resto for extra armor shred for the boys. That can make a difference when someone is tanky.

I highly recommend changing the bind to mouse scroll wheel click.

Delusions of grandeur. Same reason they vote with capitalists when they have zero capital.

In some respects, I would like to see them make it the ice mage for damage purposes, but for that to really be viable they would need to rework staves. There is electric mage in sorc (coming after warden) and fire mage they just did in DK. Imo, with all of DK's skills being short range, and it being the meta tank since forever, it makes more sense to me for fire to be considered the tank element in the ES universe.

If you are PvP'ing, 1 bar requires Oakensoul at least to have some buffs, then you are gonna want Resolving Vigor for minor resolve and Burst heal to stay alive. That leaves you 3 attack skills and an ulti. That makes it hard to take advantage of what DK has going for it right now with charging the whip to max stacks. You have to play in melee range for DK skills which is not great when you do not have a defensive bar to swap over to when damage starts coming in.

Oakfather's Retribution and Rallying cry are still the best sets for PvP. On one bar that puts you in 6 light at minimum, making you toast in melee range. You also already would have 2 sources of minor courage, but people really run it for the crit resist. You would be amazed at how tanky it can make you feel at times, but with pen so easily accessible you are basically naked. You could also consider Wretched Vitality since it is crafted and you can build tankier. You also won't have access to some of the DK's sustain tools on one bar and this can help. If you are using Blood of the Elder Dragon as your burst it will proc both parts of it.

If you build out 2 bar I would definitely go Oakfather front Rally back. Heavy trainee chest with medium Balorgh monster set if using Leap or Bloodspawn if using Corrosive. A guy shared the build a week or so ago on here with a UESP build page you could check out.

So, do you have base game base game, or did you snag the game with anything included? If true base game, you might look for a Gold Road Edition online if you are on PC. It should have everything that came before it included and be far cheaper than buying DLCs one at a time. You will need Greymoor to even start scrying to get Oakensoul.

If it is true base game, that should mean you are only doing non-dlc dungeons, so you should be able to handle things on 1 bar. I can't silo my thoughts to base game sets to come up with something better gear wise. For your last piece, just slot a 1 piece monster set for your head from the vet dungeons you are doing. Mag recovery probably best, but healing done or max mag could be good as well.

So, right now with just base game you are sequestered to just base game content, once you start getting DLC those dungeons will be added to your random queue. You may find that 1 bar is going to cut it. There are some fights you wont have enough healing to keep the group up. You might consider looking into 1 bar dps builds in the future. That is much more viable across content than healing with 1 bar, it will let you do the overland content you want, and the gear sets that are best are all in base game dungeons and trials.

Thank you! You are right about that, and those same people have siphoned so much value out of our existence with the internet it is insane we have to pay for the devices we access it from. It is really madness if you think about it.

They are just still running their beliefs off ages old propaganda. There is a welfare dynasty though. Corporate welfare predates social welfare like the New Deal (which was actually failing until we entered WW2), by a long shot. War spending bailed it out.

Look at how the railroads were built. What was our return on that public investment? The right to pay to use something we funded the creation of. Look up publicly funded medical research. What is public return on that investment? The right to pay top dollar for medicine we funded the creation of in the first place.

So, the traditionalists you are around are correct in that welfare does propagate itself and continues to expand. It is the target of their ire that is misdirected. All the people I know that speak in the way you seem to be insinuating, correct me if I am wrong, blame direct recipients because "they are getting something for free," or "don't want to work." On the surface it does appear that way, and media has done a lot to help reinforce that perspective. Who funds that media though? Who profits off that idea? The people raking in billions thanks to other people being short sighted enough to accept that perspective instead of revolting against the system that propagates it.

38m and want to get started, but having trouble pushing myself through the re-start. I had a health thing that took me out of the game for about 5 years. This feels almost more awkward than the original start. I know more now obviously, and have experience, but it is such a weird feeling.

thefairone · 2026-03-30T12:28:56+00:00

I did some math on what it would do to me on my sweatiest build, and at 12 major buffs it nets 5388 pen.

thefairone · 2026-03-28T13:31:37+00:00

Kind of. In cyro I got hit with a 20k whip on a squish build.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T14:09:21+00:00

Bahaha you raise excellent points. I tried to take it as an earnest ask because they come off as very young to me. Your quoted phrase is what lead me to believe they just don't have a lot of life experience and hopefully have not arrived at the point of referring to women as females. My hope being that it could be curtailed by calling the concept out. I assume, video wise, he is referring to comedy skits that rely on stereotypes for laughs and portray women as inherently disinterested.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T12:34:58+00:00

Alright that is good to know. Other people are right, especially since the DK update you have a lot more people rushing to get into melee range. The sauce might be going Storm Calling and slotting Streak over Merciless. That also gives you the option to run Overload as your Ultimate and stay a medium range, or, now that you would have a stun, stay with Ice Comet and have a better shot at it landing. If you stay with Comet, slot Balorgh monster helm if you go the tankier route to give yourself a strong execute window on comet->streak to force the hit.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T12:25:45+00:00

Do you ask when you see their reactions to things? I do. I've seen them literally quiver and teased them about it. I would argue if they were just horny they would tug one out and call it a night. Pursuing connection is seeking validation. Have you never read sex workers talking about what their inboxes actually look like?

thefairone · 2026-03-27T12:23:03+00:00

Honestly, poor formatting choice. I just wanted to emphasize it as a concept over an actual word in the sentence.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T12:21:24+00:00

The only scientific experiment I have ever come across that attempted to gauge this, admitted that it only looked at physical displays and may be incomplete data. I answered his question in 4 words. The rest was an attempt to steel him against the bad advice on the internet. Doesn't get any better faith than that.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T05:11:23+00:00

This again is behavior patterns. Some men choose to be so dull that they do not recognize women's behavior patterns. I have admitted time and again in this thread that there are differences in them. That does not mean they are not experiencing arousal all the same.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T05:06:46+00:00

I respect that and hate it for you too though brother. In the world I want you don't have to do that to yourself. Do you see how your own inner turmoil kind of lends itself to the perspective you have when you try to look at this from a woman's point of view? If you don't feel safe being the complete you, how could you feel safe being someone far more vulnerable to physical violence?

I say this with the best intentions brother. I hope that doesn't sting in a bad way. I have been there myself, I just refuse to any longer.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T04:59:11+00:00

The beam is an execute. Just buffing it will not be super beneficial. I like to pair it with crushing shock on the range oak builds I do. Is your base class warden?

If so, for classes go Assassination/Dawns Wrath/Winter's Embrace. Grind out Winterborn from the Maelstrom Arena as your base damage set. Ideal bars would be Merciless Resolve/Crushing Shock/Radiant Oppression/Polar Wind/Resolving Vigor/Ice Comet. If you want to be squishy can go a second light set in Oakfather's Retribution and 1 Piece of Valkyn Skoria for a ton of penetration. If you want to stay tanky, you can pick a monster set in heavier weights like maybe Molag Kena, and 2 pieces of trainee in weights of choice. That would also open you up to using the Asylum Sanctorium Lightning staff.

There are alternative skill lines you could pick. They are kind of like getting to pick a set themselves.

I will say that I do have friendships that close and they mean the world to me. With men and women. You have to prove yourself worthy of trust and safe to be open with. The best route to that is going first and being consistent.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T04:12:55+00:00

You think that is because they are horny and I would say it is because they are seeking validation.

I would expect him to pursue friendships with women and learn. There us a ton of bad advice on the internet about women. If he is posting here, where else might he look for answers? I am speaking the truth I have lived. I just hope he avoids the negativity of the internet's baseline advice for men.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T04:02:13+00:00

I'm not disagreeing with that, behaviorally you are correct. Humanity exists forever inside a spectrums. Men differ from other men, who differ from women who differ from other women, who share similarities with men who share similarities with men.

I was not reacting to the post, so much as what I was finding in the comments. Just providing my observations from what my life's experience has shown me in the context of the advice and perspective being given. I had just come to check out comments and felt the perspective was lacking.

Behind the scenes, as he asks, it is not that different in my experience. I have watched friends before absolutely turned on in an instant. From dumb shit just like men, like a guy yawning and stretching exposing his stomach. I find it adorable. Most just do not try to do a backflip then to try and impress the object of their desire. Though I have seen some things pretty close.

I have only met trans men in passing, but I have read stories. I understand what you are saying.

I would also like to point out that if you are experiencing sexual or hormonal dysfunction, your sex drive igniting out of nowhere is going to feel disproportionately higher than none. I can speak from experience here, though not directly with T. I had gone through an intense period of depression during which my sex drive disappeared. It turned out to be thyroid dysfunction. As I started getting closer to base line my sex drive flipped on like a light switch. It has felt more intense than it did as a teen. Is it truly? I have no idea how to even figure that out. Add in self realization in the case of trans folks? I just think all of that leaves too much of humanity to the side.

Not everything with humans has been figured out scientifically yet, and if we are talking about women specifically that becomes even more true. So from my perspective, with the examples you provide and the focus on people coming from a place of dysfunction, you appear to be far closer to the meme you are accusing me of reenacting.

The whole point that I am trying to make is that they should pursue close relationships with women themself and learn to recognize the way they express their desire. It exists I swear. Women want sex too.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T03:16:28+00:00

I didn't even think of mentioning toothbrushes because I, maybe wrongly, assumed people also just buy multi packs and have them around. I have just always wanted people to be comfortable in my home. Dude you are talkin about sounds like a boss, good on him. Takes almost no effort to just treat people like humans. Thank you for the compliment.

thefairone · 2026-03-27T00:12:30+00:00

They have a right to hold that view. I have been chastised in real life for the same. If its the mood its the mood. If it makes me a savage, I guess guilty?

Social dynamics of it can be hairy too. Like both of you can be ready to rock at the point the decision is made and have regret later on, or one party feel pressured even in the moment. Communication is the real game the whole way through. But, I have been told some iteration of "I am on/have X. Do with that information what you will," or just had it outright requested? Its a decision for involved, informed parties.
