Previously, I discussed basic healer/buffer strategies. In this post I wish to modify that build somewhat to give some good survivor skills.

Templar: One Hand/Shield and Restoring Light and Restoration Staff
Race: Imperial
Armor: 5 MA 2 LA
Skill Points = 25 HP, 9 MA, 15 STA

Aedric Spear = Puncturing Strikes, Piercing Javelin, Sun Shield, Radial Sweep

Dawn's wrath = none

Restoring Light = Breath of Life (Rushed Ceremony morphed), Lingering Ritual (Healing Ritual morphed), Radiant Aura (Restoring Aura Morphed)
Ultimate = Remembrance (Rite of Passage morphed)
Passives = All Passives

One Hand and Shield = Puncture* (skill up only), Absorb Magic (Defensive Posture morphed), Shielded Assault (Shield Charge morphed),
Power Slam (Power Bash morphed)
Passives: Fortress, Sword and Board, Deadly Bash, Deflect Bolts

Restoration Staff = Grand Healing* (skill up only), Mutagen (Regeneration morphed), Quick Siphon (Force Siphon morphed)
Passives: Restoring Expert, Cycle of Life* (optional), Restoration Master

Medium Armor = Dexterity, Wind Walker, Improved sneak
Light Armor = Evocation, Recovery, Spell Wrding

Racial (Imperial) = Shield Affinity, Tough, Conditioning, and Red Diamond

One Hand/Shield Slotted Skills = Shielded Assault, Power Slam, Absorb Magic, Blazing Shield, Radiant Aura, (U) Crescent Sweep

Restoration Staff Slotted Skills = Mutagen, Quick Siphon, Breath of Life, Lingering Ritual, Radiant Aura, (U) Remembrance

I favor higher Stamina Builds because it increases your survivability, not only for the skills, but for added blocking and sprinting capability.

Another reason I favor this build is because it gives you options for PvP, Raids, off tanking, and soloing.

For more survivor skills you can put Skill Points into Medium Armor passives Improved Sneak and Athletics.

Also, having a medium armor look may cause some PvPers to overlook you at first as a main healer, haha!
