Hey guys, i was just wondering if you could reccomend any healing powers, it's the only thing i'm really lacking in my build as it stands right now.

I have protection field so i can use that just to hide under while i get my hp back up with the heal.

I plan to take resurgence as one of my last powers as a kind of panic button.

Are there any that are more effective than others?

Thanks in advance :)

Ah, probably should have said i have str/int superstats, not much pre as i'm very offensively built. I do have Inertial dampening field which helps keep the bubble alive that bit longer, and force shield/ sheath too.

It's just i'm lacking a heal for those longer fights/ where I overpull.

Bionic shielding works very well with Either INt SS or under a protection field, so i imagine its great when you have both

There are a few ways you can heal/buff your Personal Force Field. You might try Mindful Reinforcement is PRE based, but it adds to your shield. What isn't lost becomes healing, I think. If you use your energy builder a lot, putting energy refraction on it might help a little too, assuming you haven't already. Field surge might be the answer to your problem, if you don't have that yet. With no cost, but a recharge time, INT will help some with using it more often.

I think you need to have a pretty high PRE in order to make non instant self healing effecive during combat. Bountiful Chi Resurgence is instant activation, and lasts longer than it takes to recharge, but it heals over time. You might have to use it as soon as the force field goes down, but at least you can fight while it's active, unlike with most heals.

Resurgence was my first heal for my force character, but I had Defiance instead of Personal Force Field, so I had a lot of health and resistance, making healing more appropriate than force field buffs. After I picked up Empathic Healing, I found that I still prefered using Resurgence because you aren't open to much damage when you use it. Were I to do it over, I think I would take Bountiful Chi Resurgence instead of Empathic Healing.

If you want to be able to heal others, I think Mindful Reinforcement might be your best bet, because it heals both force fields and health, providing some synergy with your other powers.

Thanks for the reply nannerpus, I'm actually not using PFF, i'm using the kinetic manipulation passive, so I'm not trying to heal the forcefield, just myself.

I'd thought about bcr but doesn't it lower your damage while it's active unless it has resurgent reiki? Resurgent reiki wouldn't be all that useful to me either as my dodge chance isn't very high.

I've tested empathic healing (that's the maintain one right?) and found it's healing too weak unless i got a full maintain out of it, which is tough to do in the middle of a fight.

As for healing others I haven't decided if i want to go down that route, with me being so offensively built (only about 20 pre) I'm not sure it would be worthwhile.

Thanks again for your suggestions :)

You might want to take into account that Force Cascade gets a discount on it's cost while you are in Sentinel stance. If you do add support to your capabilities, you would still have reasonable access to that power. Given what your super stats are, It might be better to do control support, rather than healing support. You probably need all your equipment dedicated to endurance and SS.

Actually, You might be able to get away with changing stance in order to heal/defend yourself. Since it would change your gear, you could switch out all the STR for PRE or CON. Have either a defensive passive, or good healing, or both. Then Block/Heal/Counter until you can get your edge back.
