I agree with DarkBlue with regard to the abbreviations.

And I agree *very much* with your comment about having fun.

I have a lvl22 empath, and it can get boring at times, especially late at night if the team is mostly cruising through missions and spamming a few heals is all you *need* to do. That's when adding in the attacks adds to the fun, even if the group didn;t really need you to join in the blasting.

It can also get very exciting when the team tries to chew more than it could take and you can't heal/buff fast enough even with Hasten up.

I'm working on a similar build (currently at 10).
What would be the advantages of swift vs hurdle? isn't CJ+hurdle+SJ "too much" jumping?
Wouldn't swift help in being more nimble in battle?

Yeah, I know, answering my own post, but the edit period on the original expired. This Alt is now at 21.

CJ+hurdle or SJ+hurdle is awesome. It gives you much more *horizontal* distance, and more maneuverability. take hurdle over swift any time. It *does* make you more nimble in battle.

My main gripe is that you don't get another attack until the mid-20s with both your plan and the OP. Until you have hasten 6-slotted with DOs or triple slotted with SOs, you spend a lot of time waiting for damage powers to recharge.

Basically I solved this by taking impale earlier than in the *respec* plans above. really helps, wish I had done it earlier. and having a ranged attack (with a Slow component no less) is awesome.

You may also collect a ton of debt. Mu naughty presents either spawned level 2-4 snow monsters, so no XP as a lvl 10, or spawned lvl13 bosses and lewies and immediate death and debt.
Collected 3 bubbles worth of debt in about 10 presents.
