Extra TP's

[cwolff]

Setting this guy up to hunt and heal my characters as needed but not to full time rescue or heal. I have an extra 256 PtP's. I'm probably sticking with Double Leathers because he's got the 6x HCP Doubles from DR. I stretched to get him to 130 and 225 because he had to drag a dead body and it was aggravating.

He's currently a GoS master. I bought this guy and he's been passed around a bit so I am not sure why he's GoS or what benefit outweighs the other two societies. His starting Aura was 20 so without buying a Fixskills I won't be putting him into CoL but am strongly considering putting him in Voln.

Please offer any comments, advice, criticism etc...

More physical fitness.

Done and Done. I dumped it all there and will let it drop down to 2x.

Got any ideas about GoS vs. Voln before I change it?

By the mechanics, I'm a fan of GOS for Empaths. The stamina recovery from 1107 synergizes well with sigil of power/concentration. And since you're CS based, you don't have the same quantity of stamina drains since you only need to run the defensive sigils and not the offensive ones. Plus, the Physical Fitness helps CMAN defense, and since you're converting PTP to MTP anyway, it's kind of cheap to invest more ranks into. Once you have the 65 Ranks of Blessing for 1107 (in hindsight, I should have recommended that too).

All of that being said. GOS is really an endgame state for Empaths. You may not see ALL of their immediate synergies and amazingness until you hit that higher threshold of 3x PF and the Blessing Lore Requirements for the mana recovery implications.

With the release of Reim, and depending on your playstyle, voln may be a viable option, but I know some of the non-corporeal stuff sucks for empaths due to the high mana cost of Wither spam.

That's good reasoning. My rate of play is limited and I spread it out among many characters. This empath may not see level 62 for a year or more. He probably will never cap unless I sell him to someone who plays a lot more focused than I do. Knowing that, do you think Voln is the way to go? The good news is that he's about the perfect age to Citadel hunt and there's a lot of corporeal undead there.

It's nice. The cooldown is often longer than many hunts though.

The spell aiming might have been a mistake. He's not generating the AS to bolt Heralds, Arbalesters and Guardsman in the Citadel. They are higher level by from 2-8 levels. BUT, he can ward the Guardsmen and Arbalesters. If that's pretty typical for Empaths then maybe I should drop that Spell Aiming completely and use the points elsewhere.
