I am your first template exactly, and while I know many people say that healing ability is a must, I do just fine without it. I think it's more a question of whether you mostly pvp or pve. In pvp almost everyone has healing power, so you'll almost definately loose. PvE on the other hand is a lot better to handle without healing, my stims are enough to keep me alive against almost anything (don't even use ruby bliel to speed to stim usage). It's all a matter of understanding your abilities, timing them right and knowing what you can and can't do. Just keep up your defenses, keep the enemy debuffed, and you should walk away the victor almost every time. It's the 'almost' part that requires you to have doctor healing, but then no one fights high end pve solo anyway.

I agree, you really dont need the healing ability for PvE. However, i would go as far to sya you dont need it for PvP. I have beaten docs and CMs with ease by using just stims and ruby. I have Mpike TKM swords xx44 and m Brawler, with my other skills points used on FS skills. Sure they can heal in PvP, but the amount of defence they loose by having that temp balances it. Also remember you can focus all of your food/stims on you health andaction regen, and you dont have to worry about mind regen like docs. Good luck with whatever temp you get
