When you have Healing Flames on top of 45% S/L defense and decent resists, /FA becomes _very_ survivable, in and out of farming instances, layered mitigation is ftw.

Of course, most other secondaries with high end IO builds are actually more survivable than you usually need to be to win fights... but if we keep getting harder content as part of the endgame there may start being more and more places where offensive secondaries like FA and to a lesser extent Shield just aren't enough to get the job done without buffs. Then again, if it becomes a matter of deciding whether you want to be able to solo the STF or clear any normal mission 1/3 faster, a lot of people are going to just burn through the missions faster and accept the need to duo when running STFs.
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)

FAR too many non-50 alts to name
