General Info
Fisrt,one of my skills wasn't listed,just replace crippling grasp with Healthy Offering.(of course for solo play,use crippling grasp and arrow spray instead of turn undead).
Ok,this is not the highest damage output, nor is it the best healer.The attributes are spread out pretty much everywhere,but where he makes up the difference is with the passives.
Being Argonian doesn't help max stam or stam recovery, but the witchman set helps get stam and health back,which is important considering that Healthy Offering(roughly loose 1k health over time to do 6k heals instantly) is one of the necessary spamable heals used.The potion and healing passive helps keep this guy in the fight when he doesn't have an ult.Siphon skill and potion passives give's this guy an ult in just a few seconds,so feel free to Ult when ever possible.
Being Argonian does help boost this guys healing potential ,so does having 5 siphon skills on one bar(passive boost to healing per skill slotted).Just having one siphon skill helps boost this guys magica into an allmost exceptable level(18 into magic).He can't purge or barrier,but he can try to out heal just about any amount of damage coming at him and his team.Soul Siphon is an Amazing "don't die" ability.Swallow soul,sap essence,and healthy offering all have passives that help boost eachother.Siphoning attacks give a much needed mana regen,and asorb magic helps you live longer,even if you aren't being bombarded with spell projectiles.Swallow soul over funnel health,cause the heal from funnel health with this build is pitiful,but the advantages of swallow soul make the much more powerful healthy offering viable,again,stacking passives.Speaking of which,if you want more healling and a barrier,just replace turn undead for Bone Surge,but again,turn undead's accompanying fighters guild passive make's it slightly more effective then Bone surge's short boost)
The bow bar is where all the damage is,and it's all single target poison damage over time(if you want area damage,throw arrow spray instead of turn undead).Throw Reapers mark on the target you think will die first,start relentless focus then Lethal arrow/light attack/assasin scourge/toxic barrage your target down till poison injection is ready to be spammed,Rinse Repeat.This massive dose of slow acting poison and disease damage will allow you to throw a few rotations into a target,switch bars and heal your team or just reapply siphon attacks/sap essence,and switch back just intime to keep the damage going.On solo,I hit targets with a single rotation and switch to my other bar just to out live them while they slowly die from poisoning as I heal myself or just stand my ground and block.Oh,and it goes with out saying,This build NEEDS maxed out alchemy,cause it goes through tons of poisons and potions every battle.Consider Potion Cooldown enchants on jewelry,I don't use em,but then again,I got used to balancing the potion cooldown with the ult gen.
So that's it,Just keep chugging potions and toxic barraging your way to victory.Speaking of potions,you'll want weapon crit power and stam regen for when you'r doing DPS and spell crit power and mana regen for when you're the healer,I'll give the recipe in the comments if anyone needs them,but any potion will give you what you need,mana,stam health and ult gen.For poisons,Ravage health,damage over time poisons for the bow bar,and drain Mana/Health for the healing bar.Again,if you need recipes,just ask in comments
