Should You Play This Build?
The Templar Healer provides incredible burst healing. It’s very, very beginner friendly and a great place to start for all new healers. You can get the gear easily, have some idea of how to heal and turtle up and play defensive when pressured. This is a great start point for anyone looking to get into Cyrodiil and has no direction. Before you become a 1vX master, try healing. It’s very fun and forgiving and you’ll have no problem getting groups.
Skills
