Introduction

This build is intended for Trials (normal, veteran and veteran HM). It's overkill for Group Dungeons.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Stamina heals are more powerful on average than Magicka one.
  • The most powerful AoE HoT is Echoing Vigor.
  • Buffs have longer uptime.
  • Insane (best) Ultimate generate, sustain and high critical chance.
  • Several trials like MoL and HoF are outright much easier if you‘re Stamina Healer.
  • Sets are exactly the same as for Magicka Healers just differently placed so no need for additional grind.

Cons

  • Stamina heals have limited range to balance their power.
  • (Heavy) Reliance on Scribing.
  • The lack of truly good PvE Stamina heal set and Arena Weapons.
  • Off meta Healers are a no go in the trial guilds in veteran runs (in normal runs nobody cares) because they‘re stuck in the past, but in PUG (Group Finder) trials, nobody cares as long as you do your job properly.

Guide

Build Explanation

Nightblade is almost the best Stamina Healer as Arcanist and Warden thanks to the best Ultimate generate. There is nothing you can‘t do which Magicka Healer can. We use the same sets, but the play style is different as we use martial weapons for healing (Bow and/or Greatsword) and de-buffs (DW and 1H&S). 

It's the only Class on which you want the highest possible Critical Chance because of Nocturnal Inspiration iconNocturnal Inspiration Class Mastery. That combined with Share the Spoils iconShare the Spoils and Minor Heroism from Torchbearer iconTorchbearer generate Ultimate like crazy. Smash iconSmash provides Damage Shield, HoT and Minor Berserk – basically our Combat Prayer. Torchbearer also provides purge. Refreshing Path iconRefreshing Path is going to boost a lot damage output from Banner like something 1.2k+ WSD. Vault iconVault is the out of jail card from large AoE and to heal allies inside it. Cast Siphoning Attacks iconSiphoning Attacks every 4 sec if you can, and this is "cheat" skill for insane sustain. Cast Relentless Focus iconRelentless Focus always if you can kill enemy to gain 10 Ultimate.

Monster sets: Ozezan the Inferno iconOzezan the Inferno, Symphony of Blades iconSymphony of Blades and Nazaray iconNazaray are all good depending on situation. Sentinel of Rkugamz iconSentinel of Rkugamz is the best for beginner.

If Major Courage is covered by Warewolf which is often the case since U50 or if there is other Healer with SPC set, the best alternative set is Pillager's Profit iconPillager's Profit because of insane Ultimate generation.

Alternative body sets: War Machine iconWar Machine is the best for boss encounters, and for trash, too if you can quickly build up Ultimate, and you should with the proper rotation. If you can't, just use Powerful Assault iconPowerful Assault as the best alternative. Apocryphal Inspiration iconApocryphal Inspiration can be used in normal PUG or guild progression trials only if group needs sustain otherwise it's not worth it. Unfortunately Stamina Healer/Support set Phoenix Moth Theurge iconPhoenix Moth Theurge is useless in PvE as it triggers on healing and not overhealing plus Minor Force is useless, too as it's easily sourced by DDs. If ZOS one day changes to triggers on overhealing and to provide Minor Berserk instead Minor Force, or replace both Minor buffs with Major Courage, it would become the Stamina version of Spell Power Cure.
