i havent played an Emp before but I'd say skip the power pool powers until u cant get any more on ur empathy set as those powers r vry important. When u get the change however, try swift or something for travel.
Usual routine is Heal Other(1) / Mental Blast (1), Heal Aura (2), Absorb Pain (4) and Recall Friend (6) then Rez (8).
or first rez and then recall friend so you can use lvl 7 to 3slot your rez. Other pool powers you might consider are hasten, fitness pool (though shouldnt really be that necessary if you put some end reducers in your powers) and of course your travel power. Personally i like to keep 10 and 14 or 12 and 14 (depending on at which lvl i like to pick a prim/sec power) for my travel power. However i never got too far on empaths so cant really give you build-specific advice. However if you wanna be a good dedicated empath, skip your secondary powers (attacks) so you can get almost every prim in the set.

thank you all for your advise . i have another question its about enhancements could i get by without using them untill the level that you buy origin enhancements (level 12 i think)any idea's.
If I get your meaning, I only ever buy enhancements once I get to lvl 12 and DO's, the only training enhancements I use are ones that drop, or that teammates give to me.
Even if you save all your inf. till lvl 12, you won't have enough to fully slot all your powers.

3 slot rez!? I never add any extra slots to rez myself...much better to get them in your heals and buffs.
As for what pool powers to go for, apart from the travel power of your choice, I'd definately go for assault and tacitcs from leadership, vengence as well probably.
Hasten is pretty useful, fire it off after your auras to lower the recharge time.
thats great thank you all 'hope to see you all on the defiant server (EDWARD PSYCHIC).

But now with the introduction of ED, you'll be left with spare slots to stick on it....i'm only saying this as i just started a Rad/Rad and just got mutation, which i was gunna stick some slots on when i had some.
WTH?! 3 slots rez? Recall friend instead of CM?!
OP, take a look at Clear Mind ; it gives excellent status protection to your teammates for a min, and you can cast it as much as you want.
If you want to take attacks, that's fine too. Subdue is nice since they changed the BI on it.
Don't listen to people telling you "you're a healer, skip your secondary, skip your buffs" ; the buffs are the best thing in the empathy powerset, not the heals. You can multi-task and heal, buff and blast and be more efficient than a plain "heal-bot".
(Of course, if you WANT to be a healer, then be it ; don't make a healer because people tell you you have to, though)
I certainly wouldn't stick any slots in mutation, unless you team with a debtaholic. I'd probably think the same way on the emp rez. It's a sure way of saying "I doubt my ability to keep the team alive" (or possibly "I mostly team with idiots" I guess 
)

The answer is Yes and Yes 
Tahnks for the tip on Mutation, this is my 1st defender so wasn't sure of the recharge times, but got 1 DO on it and it comes round fast enough....if not they'll have to wait.
I've noticed a lot of Empaths taking Super Speed... it help you zip in and out of battle and you get Hasten for those "oh [censored]" moments.
personally. i'd take rez at 6. tp friend at 8.
below level 10 theres no real call for CM. and if u get held and die, no debt and the defender can tp u back from hossie if rez was charging.
personally I did slot rez. 6 slots actually. I was new and in the hollows, and teams get wiped out, thats a fact of hollows life. I respec'd later on and left it unslotted.
also - to whomever said that cause of ED you have spare slots you really dont. 3*heal 3*recharge on all heals. fort gets the same as it used to anyway for me. RAs get 3*recharge 3*(heal/end mod). AB gets 3*recharge 3*(heal/end mod)
Personally i dropped hasten when we lost perma hasten, havent missed it cause of the recharge on my heals cause of ED. If you want to go for the healer build, get leadership (general buffs all round. bit boring tho) and stealth(means u take less flak mid battle) and invis other (useful for squishies). Also i go for superjump. you get basic res to holds, immob and knockback. i find it best to be 'out of action' as little as possible
hello fellow heroes im playing a empath/psychic on the defiant server'not short of level 6 what would be my best choice to go with when the new power subset opens. thanks
