Updating an older PSI Healer Build

  Manipulator is more for CC builds than for committed supports; if you want to focus more on healing then Compassion is better. Ego Surge's NM has been nerfed to only really be good w/ builds using Ego Leech, and Telepathy builds typically wouldn't fall under that. Also generally wouldn't advise picking Congress of Selves, as its an underwhelming & niche passive. For Support, you're better off helping your team w/ an aura passive. I'd also prob rank up the block enhancer more, as you don't need to prioritize normal ranks in things like SoD for their debuff effects to still work as is. I may also get the Fear-ing adv on Sleep, and the self-heal adv on Sprites.
  
  Empathic is an okay general heal, though its not very high hps and has a 50ft limit. I guess whether it will be sufficient will depend on what sort of content you're doing. You also generally want to get reses on Support builds (partly why The Mind is not a complete AT, imo). Although Mind Break has its potential uses, it can also potentially end helpful debuffs that you and others have built up. Ego Blast w/ MO adv is a fine alternative if you want a filler attack, and which utilizes TP Reverb.

  Sounds good. I may just take the Mind AT and add Rez to it and choose a different heal. I looked at the Controllers thread and most had dual Passives and switched between them. I am a person of simple tastes and I just run Alerts most of the time and the extra content they run like the Winter event, so one passive form is good enough for my uses.
  
  Are the Mind AT SuperStats ok or would you choose something different? Would you go with CON as a superstat and choose Inequity for its 100ft heal range?
  
  Would you go AoED or stay with AoRP to be a better support Mind?
  
  Thanks

  If I did want to rebuild her as a single passive CC DPS oriented build what is a good example to build around Manipulator and I'll keep the Mind AT rework for another of my Alts.
  
  Thanks

  Yea, Iniquity is a strong ally heal to use, keeping in mind that it drains your health and can't be used to heal yourself (so you prob also want to take something like Conviction). I'd def use Pres PSS and Con SS for an FF version, and the 3rd SS can be w/e ya want (Dex SS for more crit, Int for more cost and cd reduction, End for more energy, etc). What passive you take just depends on what you want to prioritize. AoRP and Med Nanites are good for defense, AoPM is versatile (though its more offensive than defensive overall), AoED is for pure dps, AoRP is a mix of dps and utility w/ the cd and charge time reduction, Seraphim is more niche for hybrid dps-healer builds that use Dimensional dmg, and Hearth is also more niche for Fire dps-healer builds.

  I like to use Condemn or Vengeance w/ RD adv for dps builds that want to also CC. That, or maybe an AoE that can stun (good lockdown, though stuns won't proc all hold-related debuffs), or a Telepathy build. Your personal dps won't be as good, but you can buff group dmg a good deal to compensate, as well as lower enemy dmg done. One example build w/ Condemn:

  Kept Defile just for a strong single target attack, though you'll have to use other attacks to proc Manip. Gears mostly for Pres, w/ some Con and End. If you want more of a dps focus then you can trade Manip for Chilled Form, Concentration, or AotI (and use different stats), though this means your CC strength will be much lower.
