No Heal Other? Why?!
I can't say I like the way that you've slotted most of your powers, but I suppose I'm looking at it from a purely PvP standpoint. In PvE it doesn't really matter how you slot.

you can quite easily get away with red or no enhancements in a lot of powers and still manage OK in PvE... course, you just manage rather than do brilliantly I think...
I'll third the heal other comment too... I'd swap out absorb pain and take heal other if it were me... much as it pains me to say get rid of absorb pain...

Anyone can get to 50, with any powers and any enhancements. It doesn't matter what you take, or how you slot it.
True...but a well slotted player still does much better..a good slotted empath is much better in pve then a bad slotted one imo
I put Absorb Pain in as a test to be honest, to see if it truely does replace Heal Other. I'm guessing it doesn't 
Anyway, for thsoe of you who dislike my slotting, what should I put in? I need most of the end redux due to lack of stamina but other than that what should I have in there? I've never really got the hang of slotting powers to be honest so I've always gone with gut instinct (my powers miss a lot so add accuracy, I need longer holds cos they're breaking free before power's recharged)
The thing with absorb pain is the not being able to heal yourself after using it for 30 seconds. As a controller perhaps drawing aggro I imagine this could result in unwanted debt.
Even though I have absorb pain on my empath, and use it when needed, I'm not sure I'd want to have it as my only single target heal
Just think Heal Other is the safer option TBH.
Well, I've earnt my final respec (baring any free ones) and I'm really tempted to use it to change my Epic to fire as I find just holding people and healing unsatisfying at times, not to mention my lack of soloability.
Anyway, the main thing I've done is leave out Stamina, having played without it for the last 7 levels, I can't say I miss it more than once a play session, probably not even that often.
