Bump, anyone have stuff to critique or comment on?

I would not take the emanation advantage for psionic healing. Since it's chance based, you can't rely on it. The chance is just low enough to not benefit much from the occasional "free" heal anyway.

I'm also not sure about ranking up ego sprites. They deal very little damage and you are better off trying to hit more people if you want more heals from it.

I would maybe pick up ego storm just for heal bots. You can usually oneshot them (or close to it) with a full maintain, and each pulse has a chance to stun.

Mindful Reinforcement is one of those skills that really surprised me when I tried it. I've had several opponents tell me it's bs, just to give an indication. It benefits a huge amount from being in the support stance, which let's you cast it almost non-stop.

Remember to tweak your targeting settings so that you can energy build on your target's target, while still having your friend targeted for shields and heals.

Thanks, I wanted to get Ego Storm but I couldn't fit it in and I put ego sprites in there because I heard they were really helpful, especially with the heal added into there.

You should also do Pre/Str for super stats. if you need Rec or energy builders as a healer, your already doing it wrong. why STR? well, i like to be able to cast my spells, not just be knocked, pushed and pulled out of them all. If your running out of energy, your force shield which you should have with linger isnt working. :P

And it actually isn't right now, heh.
I tried the advantage and it's giving me 0 (the combat log actually says you receive 0) energy when it's shot down. I wasn't full on energy at the time of testing, it was around my equilibrium which is about half of my max.

Pretty sure it's a known issue since I've seen other people post it in the in-game bug report thingo.

The shield also stops functioning entirely if you rank it up outright. It'll heal you at the end of it's duration, but it won't absorb any damage.

Your planning on healing others in PvP? That will make for some spicy failcakes right there as you'll become priority target #1 and killl farmed. Tossing a heal here and there is one thing but building around PvP healing will get your dead a lot.

Try mindful reinforcement, seriously.

I have a 25/5 win/loss ratio on my telepath, and it's pretty much the only skill I ever use.

Regardless, it provides you with energy to heal yourself with. I completely back you up on mindful reinforcement. Its the bee's knees

This is very close to the build I'm planning for my healer. I did pick Empathic Healing, tho it's not very useful, only good for self healing on the move, and even then can't be taking any damage. I also took teleport as a travel power. A trick I noticed with teleport, is when in teleport form, you can use psionic healing and charge it fully, and it pops you out of teleport / heals you. Not sure if this is a bug or what, but it's been a pretty sweet trick (especially in pve)

I might drop Arcane Vitality in my build for either more CC or a FF shield. I know everyone says it's the best healing ability, but I seem to have bad luck with the maintain abilities. Unless it doesnt break while taking damage, maybe someone can clarify that for me.

I havent experienced pvp past the first tier, but all I've really needed is block and psionic healing to lead my team to victory, so I'm wondering just how many healing tools we will actually need. I have the feeling that the best healer in this game will actually be a mix of heal / prevent / cc rather pure healing force.

Maybe switch sigils with vortex? Is arcane vitality a support passive? If not you probably can use one because with sigils-unbreakable and nanobots you'll be pretty tough. Put resurgance into the build if ya want an extra oh crap I got knocked outta my sanctuary button.

[Archived Post]

I have arcane vitality there because it is an AoE heal and with that advantage breaks people out of holds. Sanctuary is there for if I'm getting focused fired or so I can set it up and if they don't relize they are sanctuary sigils they might not know I'm there and yes, some people are that stupid.

AoEs can still hit you while you're invisible.
