I am currently 36 with my elec/pain and only have soothe with no plans to take share pain...and my teams rarely die. Between soothe your AOE heal and your pulsing heal (even though it is minor) you should be fine.

I have a 36 elec/pain and a 36 fire/kin and I can say that for me elec/pain is a great toon to play...I enjoy him a lot more then my fire/kin whom I have actually retired.

I too play with two other people on a regular basis and even with elecs lower damage over all....the end drain is nice to add to a team.

AR/Pain = redraw lulz. For extra oomph go Mace Mastery so you have a second weapon to draw.

I would say if you want to play a healer....PD is not the right set....go blue side and be an emp defender....that is about as close as you will get to being a "healer" in the city of universe.

My Rad/Pain Corr and my Merc/Pain keep teams alive just fine. I personally prefer Pain over Emp. Granted emps auras are decent but hardly perma w/o outside buffs. The right build can perm WoP and having a debuff in Pain helps if no debuffs are present on the team.

Not to enrage an Emp vs Pain war, but its a matter of taste. Some prefer emp some pain, long as they do their job I don't care which they are really.

I am not saying they can't keep teams healed....I have an elec/pd corruptor and a necro/PD MM and both do a great job of keeping teams alive.

I was just more commenting on that if you want to be a "healer" in CO* you are probably better of playing an EMP defender...as you going to be getting bigger "green" numbers from the EMP defender then the PD MM/Corruptor....simply because of the primary vs secondary part.

While I also think the other powers in PD make it a nicer set then EMP to some (me included) the OP was asking about being a healer not which set is better.

I don't know....I have a level 43 AR/DV blaster and the animations seem fine.

now I have not played it with PD but I don't think it would be all that bad.

I would say if you want to play a healer....PD is not the right set....go blue side and be an emp defender....that is about as close as you will get to being a "healer" in the city of universe.

I am glad I was able to fire up someone else's altitis...HA HA

thank you for the advice....now all I need is the ton of infamy to do the IO build....HA HA

Here is my projected build...I am currently 6th. Please let me know if there is anything I can change. I have zero experience with IOs so I specced him out with SO instead.

Are there any up-to-date stone/stone tanker guides or has the stone/stone tank went the way of the dodo?

Anyone have a nice guide on ice/axe? I am only currently level 5 but want to minimize me need for respecs.

Thanks Papa

There is a guide out there on how to get a travel power by 8th level. I have tried to search for it both by using the search feature as well as looking in the guides section and I can not find it anywhere. Can someone help me?

That sucks. I didn't get the Bone Collector (Bocor) nor Stone Cold (Vendetti) and I was only 14 when I moved unto CAD. Man that blows. I love getting badges and it sucks when I miss them, espically mission ones.
