Why Should You Play The ESO Necromancer One Bar PvE Healer Build?

The ESO Necromancer One Bar PvE Healer Build is a versatile and strong healer build. Oakensoul makes the one-bar healer effective because you aren’t required to maintain as many buffs. A Necromancer may not sound like the kind of healer you want on your team, but on ESO they can make for powerful allies. Strong burst healing combined with good passives makes them very survivable if you can manage your resource sustain.

Blood Sacrifice (Morph of Render Flesh | Skill Line : Living Death) – Insane burst heal that targets you or an ally in front of you, also heals an additional target when consuming a nearby corpse. Applies Minor Defile to yourself, but due to Curative Curse passive you increase your healing by 8% when a negative effect is on you.

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.
