These upcoming powers are cool but for healers?

As a long time Healer, I can honestly say that I would not want a lantern based Healer power. I thought I did a while ago but I just think the Lantern theme has played itself out for me and for the DPS side it would be too complicated for me as well. IMO

As a long time healer, I actually consider that we already have a Lantern healer power. It may not come with a ring but celestial fits with the fact all lantern powers in game use combos as an AM. Some of the powers do look like constructs, cursed idol and consume soul. But the want of Blue lantern powers will continue, meh.

This is DC Universe. Not lantern universe. We dont need another lantern power. You can currently be red, green, or yellow. There are three in the game. We need new fresh powers, new mechanics. The powers we will see next year sound awesome.

FYI, you dont speak for all healers. Just yourself. Most healers play the powers we are because we dont want to be a lantern.

Do I want it? Yes
Do I need it? No

atm, im too hype up with Atomic power being a healer.

A few things to remember: 1) We do not have Will or Fear lanterns and we might not have any true Rage lanterns either. What we have are deputized players using a limited amount of the lantern's capabilities. 2) I would love to have a lantern tank power that plays like HL. Instead what we have is a power that plays more like Celestial. Celestial and Rage but have small combo chains where as HL has infinite chains and most abilities have longer combo options. Heck Celestial is closer to HL than Rage because it combos into other powers. Rage is more of an extension of the first power

Back to point #1. IF SOE was given the ability to create a blue lantern healer they could have villians also be blue lanterns since they would most likely just be deputized and not actual lanterns. Essentially the lantern rings we have are fakes so it would just take a brilliant villain to forge some for their side. Less work for the dev's and technically no cannon is violated. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a lantern based healer but I'm not going to lose any sleep about not getting 1 either.

No, I don't want to see another lantern power added for player use. Maybe in an lantern MMO, but not in DCUO. Too much already, and the game's losing forus on the range of possibilities that should take precedence over more lantern powers. Also consider the fact that the blue lantern corps has been dismantled (most of them killed off) in the comics. That's a clue for DC wanting to step away from having them as a crutch in the comic line, and another point of resistance to contend with if the devs ever did attempt to try to bring them into the game in the fashion of player powers. Also, while blue lanterns can technically heal, they weren't running about healing people around the universe. Putting the power type into the game as a healer power is a bit of an extreme. The fact that blue lanterns were killed rather helplessly suggests their abilities to heal are nowhere near on par with what players can do in-game.

Like healers are already active as it is right? Look lets be honest here, healers are competing as is just for one job and you better be good at it! At this rate the developers can make a dps' only powerset and it still wouldn't be a lost

Stitch and I both want a light based healing power. I think it would be a strange omission if we don't get one at some point.

Another ring as fine (as long as theres no more) i mean 3 power rings isnt thaaat many, we have 3 elemental powers and people still scrrreeeeeaaaaam for water even tho its ice
I would like 1 more lantern power for healers. Its unfair otherwise but only after the 3 announced comes out. Give it a little breathing room.

Big lebowski?

Spytle mentioned at the recent conference in Vegas, that powers generate the most money for the game by bringing players back who take time off throughout the year. He also mentioned that his team really cares about the Lantern story arc and wants to research more on how to express the healer lantern power. He specifically stated that his team would get criticized for the Atomic healer by not introducing the Lantern healer power. However, he said it is better to get a respectable visual effect for the lantern arc. This was his way of saying they really are working on the power but it is not concrete with all of the animations and power interactions.

*salutes with a white Russian in hand*

Actually the mere fact they are using these powers kinda shows that PS3 won't be dropped. At least for another two years. They usually go 1 year after another on their power cycles. So they release a set, then there are no powers the next year. But if 2015 is the power set year that means that whole year the PS3 is guaranteed not to be dropped. Why? Because if it was being dropped within that year what was the point of making memory friendly powers. Plus 2014 is only half over.

Then lanterns play a huge role in DC Comics. I have a variety of characters, including healers and I don't see how you can honestly say healers play to not be lanterns. If the first lantern was a healer, people would be playing that. If the first lantern was rage, people would be playing that. What we really need is a more supportive group of forum posters who are willing to praise other players for their ideas and not say negative things to them. Technically, if the game gets more and more players, we will see all the lanterns represented. The lantern lore only starts with the greens because we live on Earth and it was written that the first DC lantern hero was a green lantern. The lore itself is way more complex.

To be fair you really only get two powers, since Light is the same thing on both sides, just a different color. As much as i like lantern stuff, i'd rather have no power at all for healers rather than the lore be bent out of wack to let villains use a heroic powerset.

That's Trexlight thread, & l think Spytle said then about Water, but not Lanterns, that they wanted put it for healer role, but can't do it currently because PS3 couldn't handle its visual effects. As for me - my observation is Atomic is ALOT more requested than Water. As for blue lanterns - yes, some people want it, but it was suggested just because was logically when we dunno about splitting Powers from DLC - it was just logical choice in WoL #2 or WoL #3 have lantern-based power. Few people really wanted it.
l really dunno what would l do if they preferred something else rather than Atomic Powers. Most likely l'd left DCUO forever. l'm glad it didn't happen, so l can continue mah existance & be useful for all of us!

No, that's the thread alright. He said people want water and that is a possibility. But, the reference was towards the lantern power. I haven't seen Atomic requested that much. I remember putting Firestorm in multiple threads though.

Celestial is light-based healing power. Just not hard light, but divine light instead.

It was VERY requested. First question after Spytle said there will be more powers before PS3 dropped. Nuff said:

At all my opinion for healer role is best power choice they could do! l believe most income from this batch of powers will come from this one. l've personal interest in it & know many people who have it as well. And least number of complaints about non-originality & lack imagination targeted on Atomic (i.e. few people dislike it, comparing to Munitions (which usually associated to "Gadgets 2.0") or Serums).

Look, as the Saint Walker of the forums, of course I would give Mepps a belly rub for some blue lantern powers. I want them very badly and there are ways to work around the lore so that it makes sense. But I'm not going to start that discussion here, because there are SOOOO many lantern threads and I would not like to see any more.

It's like putting salt in an open wound.
