Both gear mostly for Pres and Con. I figured Vala's Light could be a bit better in the melee healer as you'd be up in the melee pack and it heals in a sphere around you, though ofc AV is a good AoE heal and can still work (cones just aren't as wide in coverage when ur up close).

Now I don't know what build to choose, both looks very good.

Also I have a question... it's viable to put two Auras? (ex: AoPM and AoAC) I've read sometimes the game bugs the aura's if more people have them equipped and I what to know how much effectively can lose with that or it's impossible.

Thanks for all in advance!

You can certainly have >1 Aura passive to pick from, if you want to choose how to specialize ur support. It will cost you an extra power slot, though, and you'd have to sue the 2nd passive often enough to warrant taking it. Can always make it the last power and advs trained so re-training it is cheaper.

I prob would stick w/ AoPM if ur deciding between it and AoAC atm. AoAC can be alright, though its more of a niche passive than AoPM.
