[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 9333130, member: 891"] For me I do both. I like healers and I'm playing a Kineticist / Bard right now, that will soon also be a Blessed One. Free Archetype game so I'm going nuts with it. We're level 5, so I only have my first Kineticist heal, but I also have a fast healing ability through bard, and battle medicine. In a level I will have Torrent in Blood, which I can pair with Safe Elements to AoE heal without it healing enemies in the area. Out of combat I'm covered enough to bring the whole group up unless we're "on a timer", simply through the kineticist healing. If you have anyone with either focus based healing or kineticist based healing the 'medicine' skill is only needed for poisons, disease, etc, and battle medicine. So I'm not bothering with feats into it (though I would for disease / poisons if I felt those were a big issue in the campaign). Battle Medicine means I can heal everyone in the group twice per fight for the first fight of the day, plus one bard heal. Next level I get the AoE for one more heal in combat per target. I'm Fire/Water, so I'm also still a decent DPS. At level 5 I had a tough choice between boosting my Fire die, or branching into Wood for tree sentinel. I chose Fire but it's still an open question if that was the right choice. I'm enjoying this more than something like a cleric because I'm not worrying about spell slots. I'm just thinking that every fight I can toss out 1 heal to each person, and so I can be somewhat free with doing that. [/QUOTE]
