Empathy Rez change.

[Dahkness]

Give it multiple functions. Turn it into a AoE burst heal and if anyone is in the radios of the heal that has fallen in battle it’ll pick you back up. Give it a cool animation. It’s already a long one. 
 

To me empathy is the goddess of the healer classes. An angle. I played empathy for a very long time and I’d love to have a cool signature heal power. I’d feel more engaged in combat with burst heals. Maybe give it a +dmg/heal/Rez. 
 

I the buff would make the empath feel a little bit more powerful too with the +dmg.

I'm not opposed to looking at giving some kind of use while someone hasn't been defeated, as I view if someone on my team has died 1 of 2 things has happened. If I have opportunity to use it, either I have failed or they have, and I play to win. That means I don't take resurrect as I can take something that mitigates extra damage coming in, or adds to my damage going out. Besides, I can always take a P2W rez power, which anyone can get for cheap, why waste a power slot on it.

I don't think changing it into another AoE Heal is necessarily a good idea, but perhaps adding a big absorb shield onto its effects, so when a player is resurrected by the shield they are protected by it, but that absorption shield could be also applied to a target that is also alive.

Not too sure as Empathy is already really powerful moreso as a buff set than healing. Buffing 4 to 6 teammates with Fort and almost perma RAs. Then you have perma AB on a teammate. If absorb pain could have that -self heal debuff removed or changed into an absorb single target buff, I'd be for that.

There is no healer class and I stopped reading there 🙂

A lot of what you're asking for is already available in the rez in Pain Domination. Also, this game does not have, nor need, healers, and if that's how you're playing your empathy character, then you're gimping yourself and possibly your team. And I suspect that you'll run into the cottage rule looking to make that big of a change to empathy's rez.

The only change I want to see for Empathy's rez is that if it's not accepted (the person went AFK, whatever,) its recharge is instant, or at least many, many times faster. I hate wasting the rez on things like MSRs - or seeing multiple people waste them on someone who went AFK, making it not available for someone who was being active and got killed.
