Emp Defending and the Healing Aura..

Howdy folks. I'm finally into incarnate runs, and notice, even with my crafted enhancements, and rebirth slotted, my aura is STILL only 273 heal hp, max. Since this is all I've been doing lately, I would like to get the aura values higher, but have no idea how. Any suggestions/advice?

The only thing that will help is more healing enhancement, either directly or through set bonuses, if you are specifically after bigger numbers for your Healing Aura. Posting your build will help people comment more directly about it.

Though I can make some other general observations:
  • 273 is very respectable for Healing Aura. My multi-billion inf Empath heals for 293 with his Healing Aura, and while I have seen higher (311 I think is the highest I have seen during play), it makes very little difference.
  • Getting your Healing Aura up to high numbers is a good goal, however there are far greater accomplishments that your Empath could be making. For example, gaining recharge to keep your buffs (Which are typically well argued to be stronger/more important than heals) up more often can help much more.
  • If your Empath already has respectable recharge, I personally would look towards other goals (HitPoints, Defense, Damage) before worrying about Healing Aura.

1. Extra healing bonuses from Set IO's such as Doctored Wounds and Numina's.
2. Extra healing enhancement from Spiritual Alpha.
3. Self +Special buff from your APP. Either Power Boost from Soul Mastery or Power Build Up from Power Mastery.
4. Self +Special buff from Radial Clarion, the Destiny Incarnate power.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll look into the other options you've presented me with. I'll recheck my recharge rates and see how they are, and maybe worry about that first. I have seen in some LAM's and BAF's some healing auras for 500+ (and I'm pretty sure it was some kinda aura because multiple people al had the same green nunmbers rising from their hot steamy little heads) so stars knows what those folk have been doing... I think thats why I was asking - I was jealous and wanted that much too! =)

AoE Healing of 500+ would have been either (PBU+Heal) or Rebirth. Honestly, there are better things to do with your build than to get obsessed over having bigger green numbers than the Johnsons. *shakes head*

here is an extrem build for healing with a few other useful powers
595HP heal as long as PBU and the incarnate power are active and 463 hp heal without PBU

What you have seen is (almost certainly) the Rebirth Destiny power. It's much higher healing than Healing Aura (and larger area as well) but on a 2 minute cooldown

More than likely what you were looking at was the Destiny incarnate power Rebirth, as Linea_Alba and others have postulated above.

Power Build Up (PBU) enhances secondary effects such as healing and therefore if it is used just before a heal it can make the heal significantly more powerful.

As others have noted, however, there are more important concerns for an Empath on trials than how much healing is being done.

It is possible that maybe that was a Kin or Dark defender. Their AoE heals can be that large, but they need to hit an enemy in order to work.


Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.

Here's my Emp/psi build, with my healing aura doing 311 with spiritual alpha boost, and with PBU it'll heal 442.8. Its pretty nice, but the real perk is being able to keep fortitude up on 6 people forever (19.5seconds recharge time with hasten up)

From my experiences, Healing Aura definitely is a great help on those big trials. Everyone groups together so AoE healing is more efficient. Could be argued to be a situation where you might stick Healing Aura on auto-fire. But, unless you are teaming with a group of total newbies (very few having their Destiny buffs in particular), those destiny buffs will cover a lot of the healing/buffing. In that case healing aura simply caps off people's health.

I would not worry about healing aura being "big" at the expense of other things. The times when you need AoE healing that big is probably when your group is not doing well and no amount of healing will change that...
