Leadership all the way baby!!! 
Catch-22, if I have leadership, I need stamina, and I can't afford 6 picks. I like my blasts too much.

Would you? My Empath runs all three Leadership toggles and doesn't have Stamina. However, I don't blast, so I don't know how well endurance would stand up with that much going.

Yeah its when you start blasting along with buffs/debuffs and heals as well as running leadership toggles endurance becomes an issue.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
In a similar situation myself. Just did 3rd respec and got rid of Hasten and SS to take Health Pool for Stamina. No problems with End now running 3 Leaderships , Psi Shield and Acrobatics but am REALLY missing Hasten in big battles.
In the free Respec comeing up do you guys reckon Recall Friend for an Empath is more useful than Hasten?
Used all my pools already and the only 1 i would drop is the TP pool to get Speed back.
Think its really down to play style but given what you have writen I would say Leaping pool would be ideal for its immob,hold and KB protection.
Edit: Never played Emp but have always liked teaming with one with TP friend.

I would say hasten is more useful, increases your Heals per minute and keeps RA etc up and the only real reason you want recall friend is to tp and res? never plan to fail
I tried a stamina less Emp with leadership and attacking, I was mostly OK 41+ with conserve power but exemped I was in trouble, two thinngs was OK, heals and leadership or attacks and leadership, but three together was too much, I didnt really slot a lot of end red though.

I'm willing to sacrifice recall friend, and fly if I get another travel power in it's place. I'm uncertain about absorb pain... I don't use it much, and it's a danger, but if the tank starts crashing....
[/ QUOTE ]Every single empath who teams a lot should have AP IMO. I've played my empath for nearly 700 hours, and I can only think of a few times it's gotten me killed (and I don't even have recovery aura, which allows you to regen HP after using AP), nut it's saved a teammate more times than I can count. Post-ED it's even more useful since heal other isn't quite what it used to be.

What about every single good empathy player who doesn't have AP? 
Obviously they don't exist.

should have it for pvp! range slotted ftw too seeing as you can pretty easily allow for them.
I actually got absorb pain at 49 pre ED as it was easy enough to live without it especially amongst good teams nevermind the fact many peoples toons were tougher then but since exemping post ED into pvp zones like bloody bay, i have found it to be an omg i need it power because some people can be that much squishier than before not to mention stalkers. Fort and clearmind are for me the main powers of an empath set as once someone has been fortified you hardly have to heal them and clearmind gives people the chance to save themselves. Despite all that anyway even in pve a good empath would know when and when not to use it unlike me who has spammed it once when facing infernal until i had almost 0 hp just to worry people

Wow! How the hell do you manage that? My Stormy is out of end within a few seconds!
Don't suppose you could post your build?
I was thinking about getting rid of all my attacks, and going into leadership, but then he wouldn't be my patented DefenderTank.
I'm about to respec my Emp/Psi/Psi, mostly to get rid of scramble thoughts. I've already got every primary I want, so I need a pool pick. At the moment I've got recall friend, hover and fly, and hasten. I don't really have end issues in large teams, and soloing I'm happy with the downtime I need for my auras to come back, so I guess my pick will be mostly based on how I can get the most mez resistance.

Anyway, thoughts?
