Sorcerer Class Overview
The Sorcerer class is not commonly thought of as a Healer in ESO. However, with their powerful pets, the Sorcerer has some of the best burst healing of any class. Moreover, with Subclassing being added to ESO, you can now mix and match skill lines. Therefore, don’t think the Sorcerer cannot output some serious heals. You’ll need to look towards outside skill lines for buffs, but that’s not a problem with this build.
Sorcerer Healer Primary Sets
Our Primary Healer set, Perfected Stone-Talker’s Oath, found in the Veteran Rockgrove Trial, is a massive help for healers and their groups. This set grants 5% resources back with the amount of damage an individual can do within 10 seconds upon Heavy Attacking an enemy so it’s extremely easy to keep this effect up at all times with no cooldown!
Next, the Perfected Vestment of Olorime, found in the Veteran Cloudrest Trial, is a must-have to give massive damage buffs to your allies by granting Major Courage. You can grant this buff by applying a ground area of effect skill while in combat to anyone who is standing in the ability.
For our Monster Set, Chokethorn is a powerful option for healers that will work great on this build.
Grand Rejuvenation is a 2-piece set found in Dragonstar Arena that also has a perfected version to add extra Magicka, which is always nice for healers. Every time you cast Grand Healing or any of its morphs (found under the restoration skill line) this staff invigorates you and group members by restoring Magicka and Stamina.

For alternatives, and if you’re not quite ready for trials yet, you’ll want Spell Power Cure, found in White Gold Tower. This set also applies the powerful Major Courage buff just to less players at once.
This combines well with Scorion’s Feast from The Dread Cellar which has the potential to restore resources or empower allies with two unique buffs.

Best Sorcerer Healer Attributes
The most important attribute for a Sorcerer Healer is Magicka. Players want to stack as much magicka as possible to help with the power of your spells, increase size of damage shield, and gives you more resources until you run out of magicka. Most players should be at least 18,000 health if not 22,000 health in Veteran Dungeons or Trials. Therefore, you may need to adjust attributes or a health glyph as you progress and do more hardcore PvE content. Until then, use 64 attributes into magicka, 0 for health, and 0 for stamina.
64 Magicka
0 Health
0 Stamina
Best Sorcerer Healer Race
The best race for this build will be Dark Elf, with their great passives for Magicka and Stamina as well as Spell Damage. Argonian which will increase your raw healing done by a further 6%, your Maximum Health, and Maximum Magicka is another fantastic option as is Khajiit due to their increased Critical Healing.
For more details on all ESO Races and passive bonuses be sure to check out our Full ESO Race Guide.
Best Sorcerer Healer Mundus
The best Mundus Stone for a healer is the Thief due to the increase in critical chance. This helps you in all aspects of gameplay including damage! Some other choices are below:
- Atronach: increase magicka recovery per. Use this if you still struggle with resource sustain.
- Ritual: increase healing effectiveness. Can use if you’re purely healing doing no damage.
- Mage: increases your max magicka pool. Use this if an item set scales off of max magicka.

Best Sorcerer Healer Food & Drink Buff
The best consumable buff for the Sorcerer Healer build is Clockwork Citrus Filet. This buff grants max health, health recovery, max magicka, and magicka recovery. It gives you everything you need to resource sustain with extra health for survival. An alternative is Witchmother’s Potent Brew. This is a cheaper and easy to find on Guild Traders version of Clockwork Citrus Filet. Not as powerful, but affordable!

Best Sorcerer Healer Potions
The best potions for the Sorcerer Healer build are Spell Power Potions. These potions grant you spell power, and spell critical buff. That helps free up skills on your bar and consume potions on cooldown to keep 100% uptime on these buffs. With the Medicinal Use passive in the alchemy skill tree, you can increase the duration of your potions effects. Essentially, the duration last 47.5 seconds with a cooldown of 45 seconds. Therefore, this passive becomes critical to obtain to keep higher uptime on buffs.

Your Ultimate usage depends on the scenarios. You’ll use Aggressive Horn if a fight is going well every support role is alive and use to increase damage to every alive.
Your Absorption Field is to be used as a chaotic fight with many deaths including at least 2 of your support roles and use to keep everyone else alive while your group picks up your fallen comrades.

ESO Sorcerer Healer Class Mastery
Players that reach level 50 in ESO while also fully reaching Rank 50 for their class skill lines and not subclassing can use 2 Class Mastery passives to improve their build.

Success is a certainty when nothing is left to chance.
