That's [censored]...but oh well.
The Mastermind version does Regen instead (Corruptor version will in PVP only). Not sure why...

Necro bump!
Has there ever been a dev stated reason as to why we get the lolAura instead of the MM version? Or is it just "devs hate us" :P

Since the Corr version is more powerful than the MM version... well, yeah. I guess they just hate Corrs.|

Trufax: MMs originally had the ticking heal version too. It made them unkillable so it was changed to the +Regen version.

+Regen scales with the recipient's Health, whereas healing ticks don't.
Since a Mastermind is made up of the character themselves and 3 different tier pets all of whom have different HP (I think?) then +Regen means that all of them will go from say half health to full in the same time barring other influences.
A ticking heal like Corrupters get would heal the low hit point characters to full first.
I've always figured that this is why Masterminds get +Regen.
As for why Corrupters get healing ticks - it works better on low hp teammtes and not as well on Brutes? Doesn't seem like a great reason. Maybe enough +Regen to match the current healing ticks on the Corrupter themsleves would make too many Brute teammates unkillable within the aura?
And just to throw in my 2 cents on why the toggle for corruptors changes to regen in PvP, imagine getting travel suppressed every 4 seconds...

Heal suppression. That 30 point heal would prevent your real heal from doing it's job when you need it.

Well, Pain Dom was brought out pretending to be a new and improved redside Empathy. My first guess when I saw that power was: "Oh, they're giving players an HA that rocks itself, but does so silently and annoyance-free."
I've only played the corruptor version, but I could see how it could ease the aura-rocking syndrome a bit and make teaming with "dedicated healers" a lot more bearable.

Incorrect, no Dev ever stated it was a new and improved Empathy. Pain was a revision of empathy with a villainous feel. Personally I find Pain more fun to play and I have both a Rad/Pain and Merc/Pain at 50. |

My Rad/Pain is a powerful toon, he's fully IO'd and can provide heals and heavy debuffs (AC + Rad Blast all slotted with Achilles Heel -res). He can also take the damage, Tough + Perma WoP + Dark Embrace.
I don't have Suppress Pain on my toon and found the little ticks to be useless in PvE. With teammates speeding around, they are rarely standing in the aura. Waste of a power choice IMO. However I have the power on my MM as it buffs the regen of pets which helps quite a bit. The aura being left as a heal as opposed to regen buff on MMs would be overpowered IMO.
Empathy vs Pain: Old argument and should be left as "Two unique sets with some powers in common"
Edit: For the record, I'd take the power if corrs had the regen version. I mean think about all that resist + regen
It activates every 4 seconds.
Does it just heal you passively or do you have to see green numbers every 4 seconds?
