The signature britt0nia PvP healer build — a triple-class Templar combining Restoring Light, Arcanist's Curative Runeforms, and Warden's Animal Companions for the most versatile small-scale support setup in ESO.

Overview

The Arc Plarden is the build that put britt0nia on the map — a triple-class PvP healer that combines Templar's Restoring Light, Arcanist's Curative Runeforms, and Warden's Animal Companions into one absurdly versatile support package. As a Templar base class, you get access to Restoring Focus for resistances and sustain, Extended Ritual for group cleansing, and the Balanced Warrior passive for free spell and weapon damage plus extra resistances. Curative Runeforms from the Arcanist line brings Reconstructive Domain for area healing, Chakram of Destiny for a mobile burst heal, and Glyphic of the Tides as a powerful healing ultimate. Animal Companions rounds it out with Blue Betty for sustain and Major Sorcery, plus Deceptive Predator for Major Expedition and Minor Evasion. Three classes. One healer. Every tool you need. This build is designed for 3-6 man small scale PvP — Cyrodiil roaming, Imperial City, and organized Battlegrounds. Running 64 points into health with 1 Heavy / 5 Medium / 1 Light armor, you're mobile and surprisingly tanky. The Medium armor gives you extra dodge roll stamina recovery and the Undaunted Mettle passive gives a 6% boost to all three resource pools. You have burst healing, sustained HoTs, group buffs, cleansing, mobility, and defensive ultimates. If your group needs it, you have an answer.

Gear Breakdown

Trial by Fire on body pieces gives you stacking resistances every time you heal an ally — in a group setting where you're constantly healing, this stays at max stacks and makes you significantly harder to kill. Spell Power Cure on jewelry and front bar weapon provides Major Courage to your group when you heal at full health — that's a massive spell and weapon damage buff for everyone around you. It's one of the best group support sets in the game and the reason your DPS will love you. Earthgore on head and shoulders is your emergency button — when an ally drops below 50% health, it fires off a burst heal that can save someone who would otherwise die. Blessing of the Potentates on the back bar sword reduces your ultimate cost by 15%, which means you can cycle Reviving Barrier and Glyphic of the Tides more aggressively. Infused jewelry with Magicka Recovery on the necklace and first ring keeps your sustain solid, while the second ring runs Spell Damage for extra healing and damage output. Absorb Magicka enchants on both weapons give you even more resource return in combat.

Skills & Rotation

Your front bar is your active healing and mobility station. Keep Echoing Vigor and Radiating Regeneration rolling at all times — these are your bread-and-butter HoTs that keep your group topped off. Blessing of Restoration is your group burst heal that also procs Spell Power Cure for Major Courage. Blue Betty gives you Major Sorcery for increased spell damage and restores magicka over time — recast it whenever it pops to keep the sustain flowing. Deceptive Predator is your movement skill — Major Expedition and Minor Evasion in one cast. Reviving Barrier is your front bar ultimate — the massive damage shield saves your group during enemy ultimate dumps or focus fire. Your back bar handles defense, cleansing, and Arcanist utility. Restoring Focus is non-negotiable — the resistances and magicka return are core to staying alive. Extended Ritual puts down a cleanse field that removes negative effects from your group, which is critical in PvP where debuffs and DOTs are everywhere. Reconstructive Domain drops an Arcanist healing area that pulses heals to your group. Chakram of Destiny is a mobile burst heal you can fire at allies who are under pressure. Energy Orb gives your group a resource synergy and heals along the path. Glyphic of the Tides on back bar ultimate is your Arcanist healing bomb — use it when your group is stacked and under heavy pressure for massive area healing.

Why Arc Plarden?

Most healers in ESO PvP run one class and maybe one subclass line. The Arc Plarden runs three. That's not for style points — it's because each class fills a gap the others can't. Templar's Restoring Light gives you the best cleanse in the game with Extended Ritual and the best sustain tool with Restoring Focus. Arcanist's Curative Runeforms brings a completely different healing profile — Reconstructive Domain and Glyphic of the Tides give you area healing that other classes can't match. Warden's Animal Companions provides Blue Betty for sustain and Deceptive Predator for the mobility that keeps you alive in the chaos of PvP. No other healer build covers this many angles. You have burst healing, sustained healing, group buffs, cleansing, mobility, damage mitigation, and multiple ultimate options. Your group gets Major Courage from Spell Power Cure, emergency saves from Earthgore, and a healer who simply doesn't run out of answers. That's what makes the Arc Plarden the build — not just a build.
