Which EGO power for a healer?

[Sludge]

Hello,

If I want to focus on healing rather than damage, which power is better to start with? I played the beta for about three hours, and that's all I've done in the game so I don't know very much.

Just a place to start would be helpful. Thanks.

Edit: To clarify, what I'm looking for is the EGO power which leads to healing boosts and maybe defensive abilities to keep me alive and keep others alive.

For typical tanky healer, go for decoy. Fortitude should be your main priority for your health, decoy will help you revive your team.

you would need the perk for the cool down timer to self revive more than anything start there, the ai can't see you if your invisible, and the decoy you throw that out and the ai chases down that instead of you, and you can teleport to it as well

All the best healer ego perks are near the decoy power.

Decoy > Cloak . For revive at least.
You de-cloak when you revive unfortunetely. Decoy can send enemy attention elsewhere.
Perks around Cloak are more offensive and perks around Decoy are more defensive.

Here's a useful tool for planning your ego point spending. The grid layout is a little different from the PS3 beta, so I'd guess this is how the release layout will be.

that ego calculator is old, don't use it.

For a more Healer role most definitely go for Decoy.

I'm not a band-wagon, but Decoy is good because it can lure enemies away from you while you heal your team-mates.

Oh yeah? Dammit. I've been relieving my Defiance jones by watching videos and messing with that calculator. Oh well.
