The guide gives gear, skills, champion points, and consumables for an ESO Dragonknight One Bar PvE Healer Build!

This build has been updated for the Update 41 patch, Scions of Ithelia for the Elder Scrolls Online.

Why Should You Play ESO Dragonknight One Bar PvE Healer Build?

The ESO Dragonknight One Bar PvE Healer Build can wield fiery magic and alter the earth to strengthen their allies, shattering the ground and slamming enemies with molten rock to heal your allies. Though most known for tank builds, Dragonknight brings much to the table as healers and makes for fun gameplay!

The ESO Dragonknight One Bar PvE Healer Build is versatile and strong. Oakensoul makes the one-bar healer effective because you aren’t required to maintain as many buffs, which gives players breathing room on ability timers and allows you to focus more on mechanics and team health bars. Dragonknights are more readily used as tanks in ESO, but they also make viable healers! While they mostly rely on healing abilities provided in the resto staff skill line, they are very survivable and have a strong ultimate.

Skills

Illustrious Healing (Morph of Grand Healing | Skill Line : Restoration Staff) – Main AoE heal over time ability with a big radius. Keep this heal up, especially when stationary, also used to proc sets requiring a ground cast ability. This also helps keep high up time on Spell Power Cure or proc Olorime 5pc set.

Energy Orb (Morph of Necrotic Orb | Skill Line : Undaunted) – A great heal over time with burst heal synergy. It’s a slow traveler but does everything for you as a healer. Keeps people’s resources flowing via undaunted synergy passive, huge burst healing anyone can activate and massive heals over time. Only downside is it’s not mobile and doesn’t have great range.

Combat Prayer (Morph of Blessing of Protection | Skill Line : Restoration Staff) – Very important AoE heal that applies Minor Berserk and Minor Resolve, increasing damage output and resistances for you and your allies. Apply these buffs up as much as possible, so use ability as your main spammable.

Echoing Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill Line : Assault) – AOE heal over time, Use this to proc Powerful Assault for a good aoe heal over time that stacks with others.

Radiating Regeneration (Morph of Regeneration | Skill Line : Restoration Staff) – Great multi-targeting heal over time ability, especially for mobile encounters, also helps to proc specific healer sets. Spam ability to cover more targets if needed. This helps proc our gear sets along with decent healing in high mobility fights, plus you can pre-cast before going into a pull for HoTs.

Aggressive Horn (Morph of War Horn | Skill Line : Assault) – TWO CHOICES 1x for increasing damage Aggressive Horn or 1x for Survival and that’s Reviving Barrier for Alliance War Support. Horn = One of the most important ultimate abilities for a support role. Grants Major Force increasing critical damage by 20%, also increases Max Magicka and Stamina by 10% for you and your group members. Prioritize use of this ultimate, it provides a huge damage boost to your group, coordinate with other support roles if possible to keep a high uptime.
