Question - Soothe vs Share Pain

i am planning to roll a Fire/Pain Corr and i was wondering if it was possible to get away with only Soothe or Share Pain, instead of getting both. (note: for PvE only)

i understand that each is good in different situations, consistent heal vs spike healing. but i am not sure how the game looks later and if it will be absolutely necessary to have both later.

if i can get away with it i would like to try and only get one at L4 and leave it at that (while getting everything else in Pain), or would i be gimping myself too much having only 1 single target heal?

my lvl 32 corr AR/Pain only has Share Pain

It's doable, and it can actually lead to a lot more fun just because you're making people think you're letting them die, only to PULL THEM BACK!

You wont be gimped, you may lose some people if you only got the Share Pain route I went, just cause the heal isn't as instant, but, it does save a power selection!

I took Share Pain first because I didn't know I can't get healed for 15s!!!

Then I took Soothe. I think I am going to respec Share Pain out. Yes, the damage buff is nice but I think the healing is enough with just Soothe and the aoe one.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

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.
