As long as I'm here, and posting,
I'm looking for advice with my 'dark/light' toon, based on teh Yin/Yang concept.
He ended up being primarily a light/dark toon because that's what worked with the concept.
Here is what I have ATM.
https://aesica.net/co/herocreator.htm?v=34&n=Yin Yang A&d=168507IJLaYW0O00A0K000K203K705LB059E00LE059C00KB05M403M609OQ00MV04MW04LL0X0E4l04IM3UmT10000000000&e=
most of his powers are either dual purpose, (Celestial Conduit for heal/att, Life drain w/ adv for attack& area heal) or work together with another in concert (Radiant Sigils w/ transference paired with Sigils of Destruction)
He was basically built to run in Hybrid or support mode, healing in an area as he deals damage.
He is currently lvl 27, and is actually working pretty well, but is an energy hog. For some reason I can not get enough energy to keep doing anything without blocking a LOT, or using EB, also a LOT.
I know there's probably something simple I'm missing that could fix or at least help it easily, but I cant see it. :P
Any advice appreciated. Thanks in Advance,
Rags~

Rebuke can be a long-ranged nuke and heal, while SEmbrace can be an AoE attack and a self-heal w/ the adv. LDrain can heal allies around you, while dealing a bit of dmg, and the Wisp should be kept up for its buffs and debuffs. Ascension's adv can also work w/ the Wisp's Guide adv for some burst healing. Gears mostly for Pres, w/ some Con and Rec.

Ebon Rift can be replaced with whatever you want, I just find it fun. Between Ebon Ruin and Glimpse of the Abyss, Fear stacks up quite quickly. Vengance is the main AoE, and helps open up the vulnerability specs. It's not an early levelling build though.
It's much more energy friendly without the pets. Char isn't level 40 yet, so I think I might be temporarily using INT instead of CON just to make things even easier, but that may also be a hangover from when the pets were still there.
I never considered Vengeance or Rebuke as a replacement for Celestial Conduit. I'll have to check those out,
I know I'm a rarity, but I actually LIKE pets in CO for the most part. (Energy Hunger aside) And I have long tossed around the idea of an Angel on one shoulder, and a Devil on the other, and it fit this toon.
I suppose that Will O Wisp with both Adv would still fit the base concept. (Otherwise the only reliable way I had to apply Fear was my lvl 38 pwr w/ Adv) ;P
My decision for the sigils was, a Sigils of Destruction colored dark, and a Sigils of Radiant Sanctuary in bright (W/ Mystic Transference so you only get 2) is as close as I can get to making the Yin-Yang symbol appear as powers.
Many good ideas to consider. Thanks again!
I had originally looked at and rejected Compassion as the Toggle, because with my build I was never sure I would be able to do enough healing to trigger it.
Compassion triggers off of ANY healing you do, yes? Not just to others? So for example Celestial Conduit would trigger it if used on a teammate, (obviously) but so would Life drain, and Shadow Embrace w/ Draining Shadows, yes?
(I suppose it is too much to hope that it will trigger off of the AoE healing effect from Seraphim?)
