and never had one on HC. I'm thinking about going full healer or getting a staff set together.

Any input on how to play this type of char on HC?

Well, depends on how you're playing. This means if you're going to play solo most of the climb, I'd go full vit or 100 min, stating doublestrike and powerstrike, what I did, and worked fine all the way.

Else go 55 vit min, depending on the type of climb, multi/cross or power

This is by playing melee in my opinion. I'd go with the staves, because by going full healer, you won't do any damage, therefore the group will be slower...

Hope it helps, I'd hear some other opinions though.

who goes full vit on any class?

I do. Solo 3 EPs on a robe hurts. Just do it incase of dc. I was getting crit for over 600 tho, full vit might not even be enough to survive a dc against the right group

Thanks. Yea I will probably go with staves.

Should I go for tanking padded robes or dmg?

Solo to Catagroup.

75 vita / 75 intelligence.

EE weapon (dagger over staves... dependent on what you can get)
HM / stat Armor
HM / stat Main Charm
EE Heal Charm

Note: You can go stat (dex) charm or Robe, just make sure your HM item is around 35% +

Abilities: Solo = Retribution (or Doublestrike) = 5 points = 40% & Salvation 5 points = 40%... adjust for more healing or dmg later on.
Abilities: Catagroup = Crossstrike = 4-5 points = 48-58%, Multiheal 5 points = 40%... adjust to the strength/weakness of the group

Note: If you have a group 1-71 and have a good healer in group. go with dmg abilities and gear... stats, 70 vita and rest dexterity.
