Empathy gives you the ability to heal and aid allies as well as yourself. Empathy has no offensive powers, but its heals and buffs are unmatched. Empathy is a primary powerset for Defenders and a secondary powerset for Controllers.
Power Tables[]
Defender[]
The Empathy powerset is available as a primary set for Defenders. The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:
Dramatically heals an ally's wounds. This power has only a tiny endurance cost, but it requires you to sacrifice some of your hit points. Absorbing someone's pain can be quite dramatic, and afterwards you will be briefly unable to heal your own wounds by any means.
Dramatically increases an ally's endurance recovery, hit point regeneration and attack rate for 90 seconds. Also grants the target high resistance to slow effects.
Frees an ally from any disorientation, hold, sleep, fear, confusion, and immobilization effects and leaves them resistant to such effects for a good while. Also, grants target clearer perception to see hidden foes. Protection will improve with multiple applications and as you advance in level.
