First, ADD? CM and Fort is from EMP and Invis from Concealment. I got that much.

A little concerned you mentioned "AFK" and still wanting to do actions (that is botting IMO). That looks like a lot of abuse potential for someone that dual/multi boxes.

I would not be a fan of seeing those powers nerfed lasting 1/2 as long (and, IMO again, I think they would be balanced (nerfed) with greater END usage, longer rech duration, and/or lower buffs benefits since they would be covering a whole team at once). Add on the fact that if you miss a player or players in the radius, then what do you do?

Not sure what you mean at the end either about "a single shot form normal 1". Do you mean 1/2 as long as the single cast version to a single player?

As for the super buff button, not sure we would ever seen something like that. MM's don't get a super buff button now with their 2 pet buff powers, why should others? How about FF with bubbles or Kin with ID/SB or therms with 2 shields/thaw/forge or cold with 2 shields/HP buff? What do they get? Or how about debuffers like my D3 defender? Sort of left out there with super buttons.

This is called botting, and is specifically against the EULA and ToS. So never going to happen. The most you can have is one power at a time on auto-fire, and even then some folks can abuse that for botting.

Seems like you are trying to turn all of the single target buffs into AoEs. I seriously doubt this is going to happen. The basic development strategy for balance is that the strength of a power is balanced by how many affected, how much the power costs, and how long the recharge is. An AoE Clear Mind would be much easier to cast, and able to help anyone with in range. Not broken, per se, but it would cost more to cast (probably near as much as it does to put it on a full team, but in one shot) and would have a longer recharge. The end cost could hurt busy builds, and the recharge would make stacking it difficult, if not impossible. Same with a lot of the other effects you mentioned. Doubt it's going to happen.

Putting this much power into one click isn't going to happen, unless you put it on such a timer that it won't be possible to cast it on more than one player at a time, and probably you wouldn't be able to keep it on that player all the time. It's just too good. It could also be used for botting, especially if it could be made permanent. Not going to happen.

I understand that you are trying to make playing a buff set, like Empathy, easier, so you can focus on blasts or help a team while afk, but that is completely against the design balance of the game. You are only supposed to be able to help a team when you are actually there to help the team. And part of the balance of a powerset is how much work has to be done to make it work. Besides, if you put all the power of Empathy into one click, then why take any other powers? The game requires you to take 24 powers. You can get 9 from your Primary, 9 from secondary, potentially 16 from power pools, and 4 from your ancillary, if you take one. If you just took one primary/secondary power (like you're change would make possible), you'd have to find 22-23 other powers to take. Even if you took you're entire secondary, you'd have find 13-14 other powers to take. That's a lot of pool powers, and frankly most of them won't be good for you. It just won't happen, because it doesn't fit the way the game was designed, and I don't think I'd be willing to play a game that was designed for that.

Is this a troll?

No offense, buddy, but I don't see the Devs adding powers to an existing powerset that would, in your own words, encourage AFK usage (Botting).

As to the AoE buff powers, that's not going to happen either. Many other sets have powers that would be more convenient as an AoE (FF, Therm, Cold Shields all come to mind.)

Yes, it is very annoying and monotonous to have to click Fortitude, Clear Mind, etc. over and over, but that's how buffing sets play. In fact, many sets are worse than Emp in that department. The only solution I see: Just pay attention to teammates and their status. That's how the set was intended to play.

It is quite obvious a troll from another empathy set hater. He or she is obviously lashing out because an empathy defender got more praise then they did. This injustice naturally can only be rectified by the most emo post he or she could come up with to draw hatred toward the empathy set in the one section of the forums they believe people will rise up and join them bashing the empathy set.

im not looking for player to Bot - as i see that as cheating

My main isuse im looking to address is - im a EMp rad and im good at medic duty but i never can " CM " team fast enough so the whole team cm is to make me a healing only medic not a back up buff healer

and the idae of the super power button is just to give a player on team all the poawer in a shot - then i will have to fouce on healing only not the buff that asist those healing powers

and the whole super shot could be one of the L 50 power pool typ or make it a pool power thast need ed be upgraded

but the 3/4 1/2 1/4 button are so i can fouce on the tank anda con using only on healer " which are rare to find a good one all the time "

I love the Emp set i just like to see more tools to assist the power that are present or strech them out to make them better while give a negtive effect so it casn blanceout the power

Whutz? On the forums, I can't see or hear you. The only way that I can get an impression of you is from your writing, and I can't understand half the things you say.

But, if I'm understanding the other half correctly, you need to learn how the game works, no snarkyness intended. Empaths are supposed to play like that. You buff. You heal. You put the buffs back up. Rinse. Repeat.

It seems that Defenders are not the AT for you. Try playing a Scrapper maybe? You don't have to worry about keeping the situational CM up. If you do want to stick to defending, these powers are situational, not everyone needs a CM at all times, not everyone needs a heal. Emps are, IMO, one of the easiest support toons to play. You don't have many buffs to worry about (Fort and you're done,) use your auras when up, heal when necessary. Your ideas would make it an even more mindless task. On top of that, the changes that you're asking for would require a whole new system apart from the leveling/APP one that we have now.

Sorry, but it's a no.

Get on better teams, aim higher than just being a healer. The stuff you suggest almost sound like macros in WoW, and this game isn't that game, at all.

If you want to be the best emp you can be, learn how to prioritize your buffs and balance your time so you can buff/heal and attack. Also, learn how to move, you'd be surprised how that can help your overall game.

At higher levels and on better teams you'll be buffing a whole lot more than healing, the only time you'll need to spam healing aura is during raids, but chances are there'll be other emps/rads/thermals spamming the heal aura with you.
