I think it's actually the best self heal there is? Heals for alot with a Short Recharge - think it's better than Reconstruction, and I'm positive it's better than Healing Flames. Also, it is extremely difficult to interupt when slotted for Interupt duration decrease.

the interuption time is bugged i believe and if its not it defo needs looking at, other than that i wudnt change it, IMO there are some very very good power pools for PVP and u need to give up one of them to take aid self so u lose out somewhere
In the heat of combat, i would much rather have Reconstruction than Aid Self, since the interupt might make me loose a lot of endurance just trying to get it off.
Since you need to pick another power before it, and it being interuptable, its fine imo.

it doesnt work if a debuff is on you like freezing rain I found to my chagrin

Well, getting it off in the midst of combat isn't really a problem when slotted good, but it's the fact Recon can be used in movement which makes it more desireable.

Yeah rad infections interupt it too.
As X said you cant have every power and it requires lots of slotting, its a strong power but not over powered.

I feel a pool power heal sould not be better then a heal from your own powersets!

It's good but it isn't better. There is also nothing to stop someone with Healing Flames (or whatever) taking Aid Self if they wanted to.
There are lots of things which interrupt Aid Self, most of which are available to Defenders, Controllers, Corruptors, MMs and to a lesser extent anyone with DoT attacks such as poison or fire. Until you have used it in a mixed pvp environment it's difficult to appreciate the limitations.
Dots don't work so well. And by better I was talking that it heals for more with a shorter cooldown.

I can heal between the spines dot, the fire dots, you can basicly heal between the dots, if you're good and wit hthe right slotting.

Those aren't really a big deal, it's the anchored debuffs or stuff like quicksand, caltrops, tar patch etc. where your only option is to disengage if you want to use Aid Self. This seems a reasonable way to balance how good a heal it is to me.
just leg for the kills and heal yourself, squishies are way to survivable with aid self, i think it needs a nerf.

I don't understand that. Do you mean "just leg it"? that's what I mean by disengage, but that takes you out of the fight, which is the tradeoff.
Not meaning to offend the OP, but why are you ASKING for stuff to be nerfed?
have we not had enuf nerfs as it is?? it's a pool power... if you feel it's overpowered, take it yourself, and laugh at all the people who don't have it and wonder why you are owning them. but pleeeeeease can we not beg for nerfs?
If i get beaten up by a troller, it doesn't mean i want them to nerf holds...
i already have it on my blaster it's so overpowered. All you have to do is run when you're on low hp and fire off aid self. it's too easy to fire off and heals too much and recharges too fast.

and theres the thing, for it to be any good you ahve to spend slots on it to make it good taking slots away from other powers, making a strong heal self weakens other parts of you no matter how you look at it.
Overpowered? no way, it evens the playing feild, this is like saying fear is overpowered because you took the pool and use it to good effect. So you recover 38% (max) of your hit points while stationary and not under any locked debuffs, who cares, just means you have to hit them a few more times for kills.
If it was nerfed it would simply become city of scrappers/brutes/tanks/stalkers in pvp and stifle variation. So a few people can use a power to good effect, how does that make it overpowered? whats you are basicallying calling for is for everything that is used efficiently to be nerfed (which everything already has been)
You think its overpowered on your blaster, spec it out and see how much fun you have then. Its a way to equalise things like all pool powers are in one aspect or another.

Nerf aid self ? No thank you.
You say you have it yourself, Psydock...and asks for it to be nerfed because YOU think its overpowered.
It seems to me that you dont have it at all and want bother taking it, so you want it nerfed because you cant kill others in PvP fast enough if they use it.
There are other skills that needs their effectiveness lowered...but aid self is just fine as it is.

Aid self is perfectly fine. Not everyone has Powerboost.
Psydock does have aid self, i believe he even mentions this (aimed at the post that makes little sense, the one before mesmers)
Personally I think the powerboost/aid self combo gives energy blappers yet another advantage they dont need.

but thats not remotely the same as aid self to all other sets, a differential is needed here

bah, everything is fine as it is 
. Buff stuff that needs buffing, no need to nerf anything.
What's your thoughts about aid self, personally i think it needs a to be a bit nerfed in pvp, it's way to powerful when you're solo.
