Does that make me crazy?
possibly!
Hi champions from all over the world! I just went from silver to gold sub. and I was interested in making a hero that is a real asset for parties. A character that can absorb crazy amounts of damage while being able to heal himself, heal others and still shell out some decent damage. Enough to survive the toughest fights. Is it even possible? Thanks in advance for all your ideas!
Stay Awesome and Chive on!

thanks for the links, I will try to get thru them asap! I'm still new to all the mechanics of the game and all the weird designations and names of stuff ;D I've been sticking with archetypes and that was it. I found this build right here that I find to be quite mad but very interesting: champions-online.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gameguides&action=display&thread=490However i don't know how a healing power would squeeze in there without loosing the overall awesomeness. as for theme, I've played the void archetype and i really like it, especially the ebon void sucking life off the enemies and healing myself. I'm still lvl 17 on this archetype but so far I think it kinda works decently when it comes to absorbing damage. So I was thinking about building something around that theme. I'll take a look at those threads early tomorrow. Thanks again!

---- Here is something I often ask when discussing builds: Defense VS Offense scale of 1 to 10, what is your goal with this character?
1 = Can't die if I tried; Can't hurt a fly if I tried.
5 = Balanced squarely in the middle; Well-rounded Jack-of-All-Trades
10 = Can destroy entire worlds with a snap of the fingers; the soundwave created by a snap of the fingers knocks you out unconscious.
This will help dial-in the character to your intended vision.

I was looking for something around the 5 or maybe 6. (slowly going down the scale Right now I have two 9s. A tempest and a void. If I hit the bad guys first they go down, if I get mugged first, I don't live enough to cry for help. That's my main problem, the getting mugged and dying. That's what I want to avoid with the new build, that and the fact I've been playing with buddies that don't have any healing powers whatsoever.

hmm hard to pull off all 3 at once but for tank/healer I'd look at the basic idea of the Celestial framework.
I don't personally think it's that great a powerset but with PRE and CON superstatted you're heals would get the PRE benefit and swapping the role to protector woudl use that to radically increase threat for tanking. SS CON for tanking itself. You'd probably want to talent/gear to boost Rec for energy
Celestial heal also double as damaging enemies.
I'd look at setting 3 different 'roles' Protector for tanking Guardian for all rounding and Avenger(ranged)/Brawler(melee) for DPS
I'd probably only go for one celestial heal and then a method of healing yourself. A bubble like mindful reinforcement A damage mitigation power like IDF Passives would be harder to pick for the role switching I'd suggest AoPM but i don;t think you can use that in Protector. Energy Unlock - harder to pick when mixing powers then I'd try and keep to one powerset for your damaging powers Keep in mind that for tanking you'd need the Advs Crippling chalenge and challenging strikes but you wouldn't really want to fire them off in Avenger stance.
Actually you might be better off setting up for tanking/DPS (see something like Kenpo's Sho Nuff build in game guides) and just swap powers to add a heal like Empathic and a bubble that you can fire on others too - it'd be weak but you'd benefit from it's heals and if you were tanking your team shouldn't be taking the damage anyway.
You'd also benefit from taking a few Blood Moon devices if you can get them to drop - Nimbus of Force is a damage shield which affects 10 friendlies around you that you should find very useful.
