Magicka Nightblade PvE Healer
Overview
This page features the Magicka Nightblade healing setup I use for Dungeons & Trials! I've played my Nightblade character exclusively as a healer since I created him in 2014 and have always had a ton of fun healing with this class!
Skills
Bar 1: Restoration Staff
-
Radiating Regeneration (Regeneration Morph)
-
Funnel Health (Strife Morph)
-
Healthy Offering (Malevolent Offering Morph)
-
Combat Prayer (Blessing of Protection Morph)
-
Illustrious Healing (Grand Healing Morph)
-
Ultimate - Bolstering Darkness (Consuming Darkness Morph)
Bar 2: Lightning Staff
-
Energy Orb (Necrotic Orb Morph)
-
Refreshing Path (Path of Darkness Morph)
-
Elemental Drain (Weakness to Elements Morph)
-
Elemental Blockade (Wall of Elements Morph)
-
Siphoning Attacks (Siphoning Strikes Morph)
-
Ultimate - Aggressive Horn (War Horn Morph)
Options: I really like using Soul Siphon (Soul Shred Morph) as my main heal ultimate on my front bar as well, especially in Dungeons and 4-man content. You could also use Life Giver (Panacea Morph) for your front bar Ultimate as well.

Other Important Things
