Healer

Healers are one of the basic roles available in DCUO. Their main task is ensuring that the rest of their group stays alive.

Healing Role
In order to acquire the Healing Role, you must select either Nature or Sorcery as your power set. Once you reach level 10, you will automatically acquire the Healing Role. When in this role, your damage potential diminishes to 60% but your healing abilities are increased 100%.

Power Management
Most abilities actively require Power in order to use them. All alone, you will likely have enough power to use at most 6-7 skills before you empty out. If you don't have an ability to heal, you can always use a Healing Canister. They are often found around bosses for just this reason. In order to acquire more Power there are 3 options:

Drinking Soda
This is by far the most costly method but it allows you to regain a significant amount of power in short order. It is a great option in emergencies.

Group with a Controller
Controllers have innate abilities that will restore power to you or to your group. They won't give you infinite power but it should be more than enough to keep full if the group is paying attention.

Build your Combo Hit Meter
The higher your Combo Hit Meter, the faster you will regenerate Power. Dual Pistol's Full Auto, Bow's Flurry Shot and Hand Blaster's Pulse Beam are easy to use attacks that quickly build up the meter.
