As with most healer/support builds, I advise running 5 light, 1 medium, and 1 heavy. This will give you full Undaunted passives, and the benefits of better magicka resource management.

If you’re not coordinating monster sets with the other members of your group, Earthgore is a solid choice. The heal from Earthgore is not fantastic, though the proc will remove ground effects that could otherwise kill your group (such as Negate). The challenge with Earthgore is that multiple players’ sets can proc at the same time, wasting the proc for all but the first. If you are coordinating sets, two or three Earthgore and the rest Bogdan will likely be best.

The defensive set in this build is Spectre’s Eye. This will proc (while in combat) on any cast to give you Major Evasion, which will mitigate 20% of incoming area damage. When your group dies, it will usually be to a coordinated bomb that is mostly area damage. You only need this set active on one bar, so that lets you use The Master’s (Perfected) Restoration Staff on the other bar to help your group with resources.

The healing proc/value set in this example is Transmutation. The commonly valued sets in this slot are earlier in this guide, so please check who is already running one of these sets when you join a group, and fill in a set that is missing to bring a better composition to the group.

This build breaks the monster set in favour of running one piece of Magma Incarnate for added magicka and stamina regeneration, and a Ring of the Wild Hunt for movement speed.

This build breaks the monster set in favour of running one piece of Magma Incarnate for added magicka and stamina regeneration, and Snow Treaders to prevent snares. Note that most min/max or organized groups with good compositions will run Snow Treaders.

When your group dies, it will usually be to a coordinated bomb that is mostly area damage. You only need this set active on one bar, so in this case another set can be active on your other bar.

One piece of Trainee is used in this build to provide more health.

The healing proc/value set in this example is Winter’s Respite, and is only on one bar – as you will want to place the proc using your restoration staff rather than risk placing it using a Channeled Focus or some other skill (I’m using a Templar for these examples, and the builds can apply to any class).

The healing proc/value set in this example is Winter’s Respite, also needing to be active on both bars. The commonly valued sets in this slot are earlier in this guide, so please check who is already running one of these sets when you join a group, and fill in a set that is missing to bring a better composition to the group.

This build uses 5 medium and two light, as there is no simple method to get full undaunted passives. The 5 medium are used to enable running Elude (the other morph of Shuffle – since Snow Treaders prevents snares) so that the player can maintain their own consistent Major Evasion buff (without needing Spectre’s Eye) which will mitigate 20% of incoming area damage. When your group dies, it will usually be to a coordinated bomb that is mostly area damage. Medium armour passives are also helpful in reducing incoming area damage after a roll dodge.

If you’re not coordinating monster sets with the other members of your group, Earthgore is a solid choice. The heal from Earthgore is not fantastic, though the proc will remove ground effects that could otherwise kill your group (such as Negate).

Two pieces of Trainee are used in this build to provide more health and magicka, and Snow Treaders are used to prevent snares. Note that most min/max or organized groups with good compositions will run Snow Treaders.

The Master’s (Perfected) Restoration Staff helps your group with resource regeneration, and your back bar could be another arena weapon, or a 2-piece Willpower. The current standard for back bar is a Maelstrom (Perfected) Restoration Staff, though I haven’t ever done vMA so don’t have one for the screen shot!

The healing proc/value set in this example is Transmutation, also needing to be active on both bars. The commonly valued sets in this slot are earlier in this guide, so please check who is already running one of these sets when you join a group, and fill in a set that is missing to bring a better composition to the group.

This is one of the more standard and simpler builds to run, with full time active two sets and a monster set.

The defensive set in this build is Buffer of the Swift. This will provide 10% damage mitigation, and needs to be active on both bars.

The healing proc/value set in this example is Combat Physician, also needing to be active on both bars.
