City of Heroes PodcastIn case anybody tried to surf around the site or register tonight; sorry about any problems. I was doing some major testing on forums, blog, and gallery integration.
I wasn’t completely satisfied with the results, so I just reverted everything back to the was it was before I started messing with it. I have a lot of editing and real world work to do tomorrow, so not sure if I’ll be able to work on it again until mid-week.
I just noticed that the site looks kinda goofy in Internet Explorer 6 right now. I’m a Firefox user and frequently forget to check IE compatibility. I just so happened to check and – yikes..
Yeah, I’ll work on that. but not tonight, its bedtime!
A special welcome to any new listeners!
This episode was recorded last week but was delayed due to some technical difficulties (and minor construction at our base!)

This is a bit of a continuation from last episodes information on different character builds. A listener specifically requested information on building a good healer which is why the healing Defender is discussed in-depth here.
As we go over in the episode, we are aware that Defenders are much more than healers (that they indeed are more buffers/debuffers than healers), but since there was a request specifically about healing, here it is.
In this episode we discuss:

Love is in the air!
This is an exciting week, Heroes! Lots going on, so this episode is our longest. Buckle up and enjoy!
Then, because we don’t know when enough is enough, we allow ourselves to have a feature discussion after being inspired by questions from a listener. We discuss powers and enhancement slotting as we prefer them.

Next episode: Scheduled to be a News episode. If there is no news we will discuss the defender/healer roles as requested by a listener!

All of the patch notes detail what changes are happening on the Test Server and we really hope that some of them go live before the double XP weekend. Probably unrealistic, but there is some cool stuff going on in there! Of course, there is no guarantee that the stuff being tested will ever make it to the live game.

This episode is all about 3rd party add-ons. As discussed in the episode, these are not sanctioned by NCSoft and are against the terms of use, so they are definitely “use at your own risk”. They could get your account suspended or banned from the game.
One note from last episode: We mention that the Winter event is ending on January 6 (today!) and that they will likely close it out during Monday morning’s maintenance. Well a couple days ago Lighthouse posted on the forums that they will end it TONIGHT! So, you have a few less hours to spend those candy canes.

We have more news about us, than the game this time around. The devs have been very quiet through the holidays. Since there was so little news, we went ahead and recorded a faction spotlight for this episode.
