Light/sound themed build

arclighte

This is more or less the same build I've been running since 2009 and I have a lot of success with it. Healing is boring to me so I wanted to make a support toon who prevented damage being taken in the first place. I have Iniquity for emergencies but generally with AORP + Protection Field, I never have to use it. She is also durable and has good CC in Energy Wave/Reverse Polarity + Thunderclap so she can play as a tank in most APs. Her damage is mediocre but once I picked up Concentration instead of IDF I felt a lot more effective.

But there's probably room for improvement I'm not sure if I have the best stats, advantages or powers. For theme I would like to keep:

Protection Field
Energy Wave
Thunderclap
AORP

and I prefer to stack a ton of Pre for AORP and shield bonuses. But everything else can go.

And a random question: when using the random power colors bind, is there a way to make it only affect certain powers? I.E. powers 3-7 would change colors but not 2 or the travel power?

I'd prob try to find a way to get Conviction to R3 (or pickup Reverence), since that's ur main self-heal in this sort of build.

Concentration doesn't proc off of melee attacks like Thunderclap or EBA. If ur making a melee healer, either Compassion w/ Sentinel Aura could work (that requires taking Sentinel spec, but also means mainly gearing for Pres is even better), or just use FotTempest and gear some Dex (prob use a PRES/Dex/Con setup then). Sentinel's Wither and Sentinel Mastery will also work w/ Thunderclap, if ur using that attack often.

I am unsure about the color bind thing. Hopefully someone else can shed light onto that.
