Can bots be healed without Repair?

[cohRock]

I'm going to make a Robotics Mastermind.  For the secondary set, I'm thinking of Storm, but for this question it could be any set with a heal.  If you already have a fairly quick heal in your secondary, why would you want Repair with its 120 second recharge time?  It sounds sort of useless as a means to help keep your Robots alive active.

You wouldn’t

Everything is better than Repair

Every heal other will work on your bots (you mentioned /Storm, so O2 Boost will heal your bots). Repair will ONLY work on your bots, so most people skip it.

Aid pool is better than repair.

Repair is more useful for its ability to replenish a bot's blue bar and keep it shooting than for its healing.  The protector bots are especially prone to running out.

I’d argue you are almost better off just resummoning your Bots than you would be taking and using Repair.  Almost.

Thank you for pointing out that Repair has a function not covered by healing.  Still, with a 120s base recharge and its single-target effect, I'm not sure the +end is worth it.

It's not.

 

The power should become a short lived nanite pet (maybe like Traps' Seeker Drones except they heal) -- this way it could accept pet enhancements to mule ^_^b

For a single target heal, the recharge is stupid long. But the graphic is cool. I'll give it that.
