RE: secondary power 

RAD = Radiation

Unless you must have the "best" power, Choose a power to match your toon's style and your vision for them.

Check the Powers in GAME INFO to the right for a list and peoples re-action to them. Very!!! handy to plan your next toon or next power

I think you should take radiation or dark blast as a secondary. They are both easy to use and have plenty of debuffs. Check the official forums if you need a build.

RE: secondary power 

You have just described my favorite character. My main healer is Emp/rad (pretty darn tooting good as well). Rad is a good set if you need a rad defender to lower stats but also need a healer. BAM. 2 in 1 deal. many powers in the set are POWERFUL. Cosmic burst and proton volley being my favorite. As for the epic i have never been steered wrong by power mastery or sumthin like that (lol) the rest of the sets lead away from the point of defenders. Power build, doubles healing and buffs. Conserve power, excellent in a tight situation. total focus, if you draw some unwanted aggro nail em and let a blaster take care of the rest, total focus slotted right is excellent!! Temp invuln, perfect shield for running most AV mishes. Thats my two cents, any questions on an emp/rad i would love to answer them!!

RE: secondary power 

Hey, welcome to CoH!

I'd say that if ur looking for attacks and some debuffs, go with Dark Blast. It has 3 cone powers, which are usefull, a snipe, and other attacks, and it give neg energy.

For straight-forward attacks and blasting, i'd go with radiation, not only because it has powers that give energy and toxic dmg, but most of its powers bypass most defenses.
Also, there are a good amount of ranged attacks, and it has a PBAoE for those toe-to-toe villains.

Good luck

No no,Lets not scare him away now,We've got plenty people willing to suggest builds!

Radiation does have the green to match the auras for empathy,It also makes you a mini debuffer.

I guess I will be the first to submit a build for you:

1.Healer aura
1.Neutrino Bolt
2.Heal other
4.Irradiate
6.Resurrect
8.Clear mind
10.Pool power
12.Fortitude
14.Travel power
16.Electron Haze
18.Recovery Aura
20.Swift
22.Assualt
24.Tactics
26.Regeneration Aura
28.Health
30.Stamina
32.Adrenaline Boost
35.Neutron Bomb
38.Proton Volley

Something you must remember you don't have to go by this build. Play anyway that you think is fitting for you. Fix anything you want.

Under Pool power and travel power you pick anyone you like. The two I suggest are either Recall friend and Teleport or either Hover and fly which is very popular.

That's all i need to say and good luck with your toon!

That is good, but dont go under the leadership set, get fort asap, and slot it 3x with recharge reduc, and 3x defense buffs, it can turn anything into a killing machine, i would skip out neutron bomb because, well, the deion makes it SOUND cool, and the animation looks cool, but the power is minimal with damage and tends to draw unwanted aggro, in its place get proton volley and then at 38 get the atomic blast power, slot your rad powers right and you are a mini-blaster!

RE: secondary power 

Forget about the leadership pool.
Keep your Empath out of harms way and heal and fight from afar.
Don't spam heal aura, rather pick Absorb Pain.
And for the rad-part, don't go without Cosmic Burst.
Great attack, slot it for Range first and enjoy the secondary effects.
Don't go with the AoEs, pick X-Ray Beam and you have a real nice debuffing attackchain (Cosmic Burst, X-Ray Beam and Neutrino Bolt) to soften up some foes.
Together with Photon Volley (one of the best attackanimations in the game) to pull foes you are a useful member of any team other than just healingmachine.
And Recall Friend is always a good choice for a "real" Empath.
And always remember, a good buff keeps a friend from getting hurt in the first place.
No need to heal someone who don't get hurt.
Fortitude and Clear Mind ftw.^^
And of course every Buff-Aura available as soon as possible.
;o)
And if you have some powerpools to spare, give a thought to the Concealment pool.
With Stealth and Invisibility you can ghost some mishs without thowing a single attack.
And avoid aggro in any fight, very desireable for a healer.
*gg*

I am most ppl, absorb pain is good if you have all the health in the world, your tank is dying and you have 0% of the aggro. If you get it have it as a last resort power (or if you get to 50 use it on ppl in atlas park and die there lol).

RE: secondary power 

Absorb pain should only be taken to advanced healers. It is great at the lower levels,but there are certain times you shouldn't use it. At the higher levels there is no need for it.
