What are the best Healer builds in ESO?
Being a healer can be very difficult. While the Tank carries the huge responsibility of drawing enemy attention, that can be in vain if the Healer doesn't keep that same Tank alive. Furthermore, there are many sources of damage that can reach the DPS players, meaning that the Healer has to always keep an eye for their HP bars.
The builds we will be looking at today are some of the best currently available in The Elder Scrolls Online, and they provide extensive guides on how to play efficiently as a Healer.
