Slot 4: Combat Prayer	Slot 4: Tidal Chakram
Slot 5: Rune of the Colorless Pool	Slot 5: Energy Orb

Inner Light is slotted on both bars for the passive buffs it provides to the build. It enhances the Weapon and Spell Critical rating and increases Max Magicka by 5%.

The passives from the various skill lines listed below are crucial for the Arcanist Healer:

Spell Power potions are essential for the build, as they improve Spell damage and Spell Critical rating along with the much-needed boost to sustainability.

Breton is the most suitable race for the Arcanist Healer in The Elder Scrolls Online due to their increased Magicka recovery and lowered abilities cost.
