what about pally build mate?

[@NobleMonster]

Woah, hey Hack. I haven’t played ESO in forever but it’s good to hear from you again. Thinking about playing this game, hearing good things. I loved eso for what it could have been, but sadly couldn’t play bc of performance.

[@bccards169]

Instead of a targeted heal I use orb of protection. The ability to have fortify and rejuvenation off of orb are extremely nice. Especially with turning orb into an AOE at the bottom of the tree. I cant remember the exact node, but there is a node that reduces cool down upon enemy hit. Which helps for decreasing beacon to about 16 seconds. Using sacred ground after Orb my parties rarely die. If one does drop I have enough helps down to revive and burst heal them.

[@ShAdoWVeRsE8]

Well done

[@ericvoneric5069]

Sweet!!!!!!😎😎 THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS GUY!!! Healers rule!! Long live the Daggerfall!!😎😎

[@HackTheMinotaurTwo]

You can play as the Covenant in New World too 😂

[@NotForAnimals]

Is it a viable build for solo players ?

[@robdiddy55]

Excellent video.

[@xferj]

This is what I was looking for. Thanks for the guide!

[@mikescott4433]

great guide yet again ty!

[@Rapha_Carpio]

This is the build I'm using is quite nice am low level only got two skills lol But I hit and run mobs then I use the frozen circle to attack and the healing circle and them normal attack. The bad thing about the healing circle is when mobs hits you and push you away of your circle 🔵 But I think is a nice build specially for casual players like me

[@williamhorn4290]

good

[@MTW11]

Video is good but the fact that you are running around with a shield on with no sword kind of makes me question how well you understand the full game mechanics.

[@CarbideShrapnel]

I thought that then scrolled down just to see who else did too.

[@alexslygo]

theres any update for this build ?

[@docmojo9285]

Good video. I used more or less the same build to 52 in closed beta. By the way, take off your shield. It does nothing for you unless you are using a sword. The shield's stats (unlike your secondary weapon) won't be given to you. Without a sword, your shield is only weighing you down and making you have to wear lighter armor to get under the medium or light cap, thereby reducing your mitigation.

[@tordb]

Take that shield off your back. You can't dodge or strafe out of the way.

[@donvid7005]

If it's a round shield you can roll still.

[@danny8749]

@@donvid7005 I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter which shild it is

[@HackTheMinotaurTwo]

You can still dodge based on armor weight class (light is best, medium is decent). This is mostly older footage from testing out Heavy Armor builds when they didn’t matter for healing power

[@Ben-iv4yb]

@@HackTheMinotaurTwo isn't the shield utterly useless though without the sword.. like it becomes a cosmetic??

[@odysseusaurilen]

@@Ben-iv4yb i've heard that if you have a gem in them then it still helps. like you get the bonus stat from it.

[@cracknoir8397]

Nice vid i am going to be a new player when the game comes out these info vids are good so is it easy to level with a light staff ?

[@HackTheMinotaurTwo]

I like to use a melee weapon with life staff while leveling. Check out this build: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2q4gKmoiNCceJY

[@Angel-oj4zs]

I tried this build in beta and it just did not work everything felt clunky and damage output really suffers. I run Beacon, Orb of protection (with protection blessing), and Sacred Ground. and chose Revitalize over enchanted justice as it will only be used if you get hit and if there are member around you which IMO makes it too situational.

[@dwayne75]

hmm if you want to go with Lights Embrace I would pick up Orb of protection, thats lets you keep two buffs on the tank, if you also pick up glowing focus and revitalize, you can keep those buffs up 100%. Splash of light is pretty trash

[@bjo9000]

What about life Staff + hammer or spear if you can mange to stay closer to the action? Seen most ppl mention the ice gauntlet as secoundary so its probably the best, just curious if anyone have tried with either hammer or spear (they both have some decent CC aswell dont they?)

[@bjo9000]

@rabb1tdotcom thank you for your insight! I didnt get to play any of betas, so I dont got a clue about mana management or how that feels. I think maybe the Ice tomb will get a nerf, especially in the early levels. Seems like the skill is very usefull and good in many builds, so good that people pick up the ice gauntlet allmost only/mostly for that skill in some scenarios? I dont mind using ice gauntlet as secoundary, looks like fun! But with life Staff being the only choise for healers as primary I think atleast there should be more viable secoundary weapons?..

[@NateEraBalard]

musket arrow trap kite build is mine

[@BadgersGameRoom]

I'm at level 22 with Life Staff / Ice Gauntlet build. It's taking me forever to kill enemies

[@Rogueskiller]

Yeah, solo PvE isn't the greatest forte of a mid level Life/Ice combo. Try to invite some people from your faction or company to quest together. I'm sure they will appreciate you as a healer next to them!

[@martink5078]

sacred ground is by far the best life staff spell, why didnt you include it

[@tordb]

Until you get to 40. Sacred Ground stinks higher level. Divine Embrace is a must 40+

[@martink5078]

@@tordb you play sacred ground & divine embrace & usually beacon for everything pve related the buffs in the sacred ground column are insane. this guide claims to tell the best build an ignores the best heal the life staff has to offer

[@martink5078]

@@tordb except lights embrace is better than divine embrace and sacred ground is also paired with single target heals to buff them even more, thats what makes sacred ground the best heal you buff all other healing done to people being in it. this claims to tell the BEST build and isnt even close

[@kouvang1438]

You should run to your tank so he can pull mobs off you instead of talking the hits.

[@TzionBarlev]

Casters in pvp using light gear are both dangerous and had better pray they are not hit. Light gear in pvp is beyond paper. The same builds in heavy gear do so much better in pvp.

[@suddengaming5217]

Coming from someone who mains healer, the gameplay being shown is pretty brutal. I keep my team topped off and we hardly die(doing 45 dungeon now). Maybe you should consider orb of protection and the two aoe heals?

[@jackjackjack4703]

Why do you have shield if not using sword ?

[@nick024]

how are able to keep blizzard aoe while switching to main weapon? tried this with fire staff but the blizzard aoe disappears as soon as i switch to my fire staff

[@Roguewow]

woah hack the minotaur ayooo

[@hdir4fun78]

But they launch the game?

[@nebulouskrkayak679]

This is the worst skill guide for life staff i have seen so far. You can easily see that in the video too. You have 2 healers in there but dps and tank are dying constantly even though you are trying to heal them with everything you have. If you ask me, Sacred Ground is a must have skill for life staff in this game. The extension skills of it are perfect. Blessed grants 50% more heal from all sources and Holy Ground increases stamina and mana regeneration in the Sacred Ground by %100. I say drop Divine Embrace and go for Sacred Ground instead.

[@vonbyorn9098]

Need to remove that shield, it adds weight and useless, no stats etc. without a sword. Was that considered when talking about armor pieces and weight? because you are wearing a shield.

[@SamCastaneda87]

I don't like this life staff build, drop Splash of light and pick-up sacred ground it's by far the most important ability to have, always start with sacred ground and then you can pick and choose the other 2 skills. In fact in the gameplay VOD there's someone else using life staff in the group and dropping sacred ground, I'm not sure if thing would have worked out otherwise there.

[@GuruChaz]

You don't need to wear your shield unless you are using it with a sword. You are just equipping extra weight. There's no benefits from it unless you wield it

[@CantankerousOB]

not bad...bit long. got my like and comment obviously

Did you quit ESO?

Not at all. This channel is for covering games other than ESO. My main channel will still cover ESO content 100%

wait, hes hack the minotaur? subbing too

[@DJMizzy]

I’m not sure I understand why you or anyone would make a guide before the game comes out and gets patch changes

[@DJMizzy]

@rabb1tdotcom ahhh thanks for clarifying. I understand now. Well I was planning on going life staff and hatchet for walk speed when it releases. Thank you for all you do for the community and releasing this guide in this case.

[@derekrank4572]

whitemage in FF14 is alot more fun and alot stronger heals.both burst and Hots

[@TheRoboito]

is this ff14? no? ok

[@theholf1]

FF14 dont have oce servers so its a no go for most people :), cant dodge if got 250+ ms lol

[@danny8749]

why u carry a shild :/ ?

[@HackTheMinotaurTwo]

I was testing different heavy armor options back in beta when healing wasn’t factored into your weight. Now that equip load matters for healing you would definitely want to spec medium or light as a healer, at least to start with

[@dannynicholson50]

This seems like a bad guide.... I got to when you switched burst heals and smh

[@typicaltilly2535]

This isn’t a very good guide. Definitely someone who is new to healing

[@wutdatmean]

first

[@Thulsardoom]

Why on earth are you wearing a shield ? it just adds weight and gives NO stat bonus ... lammer
