C'mon, you already know that Emp is the closest thing to a healer set in CoX, and there are people who roll pure healers. Some people just enjoy playing "green bar whack-a-mole". I can relate to that. I played a Kin for years, which is a lot like playing "Blue bar + Buff bar Whack-a-mole".

Sure it may be the closest but it's still not a healer. It has several other powers that, for the most part, are more useful than the heals. This game hopefully will never have such restricting roles such as most MMO's. All the powersets we have available to us allows us to build our toons in a variety of ways unlike being stuck in one class.

My only 50 hero is a Emp/Dark. Being able to restore health bars is simply a side-effect of having two very nasty recovery buffs (Rec/Reg Auras), as well as two brutal single target buffs (Fort/AdBoost). Corrupters/Defenders need to look at their offensive set as a supplement to their overall performance.
ANY Corrupter/Defender will keep you on your toes if you're playing it right, as you'll be firing off attacks between buffs/debuffs. If you go Pain, I suggest a damage primary (Fire, AR(Ignite/FullAuto), Sonic) so it can couple with your damage boosters from Pain. There's always Dark/Dark (-ToHit FTW), Anything/Kinetics, Anything/Radiation, and Anything/Storm. Thermal can couple with AR decently as well, as Melt Armor is a AoE.
