Nope, needs an ally target just like the other rezzes. The reason Howling Twilight doesn't need an ally target is because it's an AoE rez which is targeted off an enemy (which also has a substantial debuff on any targeted enemies).

Think of Conduit of Pain like Mutation, except when you rez your ally, instead of them getting all those awesome buffs, YOU get them instead.

That's right unfortunately you need a dead friend to get your buffs. I find the best way is to hold a large blue insp in reserve and drive yourself to 0 end then you can say "sorry I can't heal I'm out of end" and hang back. Then when someone dies run in take the blue and res saying "Oh I got a lucky drop".

While I love the Conduit of Pain buff, it does irk me a little that in a powerset so geared towards keeping your teammates alive you get such an awesome reward for failing to do so.
If I had my way, all rez powers (self and ally) would be like Howling Twilight, so they have utility even if you/an ally isn't dead. If RotP/Soul Transfer gave you some kind of buff or could simply be used while alive it would go some way to alleviating a lot of the problems FA and DA have, in my view. Same goes for Conduit of Pain. IMO if when used on a live ally it buffed them as well as buffing you when used on a dead ally to rez them.
It's all well and good to have a power that is great for when you/an ally are dead, but it would be so much better if they worked when alive too.

Howling Twilight in Dark Miasma can be used without a target dead toon. Can Pain's rez be used this way?
