I've read that people recommend empowering the "damage" on heal, but used in that context it makes little sense. I'm assuming it actually just increases the amount healed on the target, but I'm not sure enough to risk the skill points I've got left over on my cleric. So, does it actually improve your heal, or does it do something else that's worth the points?

Also, does the same apply towards other healing skills such as restore and so on? Lastly, I've been reading mixed reactions on empowering the skill invincible for awhile now. Is it worth the points in cool down/duration? Honestly, it certainly seems appealing, but so many people suggest against it!

Empowering Heal's strength does improve your heal. Right now, I have 5 points invested in Heal's strength, and it gives me an extra 50% on healing. (So instead of healing for just 1100, I heal 1650.)

I haven't tried to strengthen Restore, but it works on Rejuvenate too.

Some people probably suggest against empowering Invincible's cool down because it doesn't make much of a difference. At most it will take off only about 5 seconds from 2 minutes. (Not worth it, really. If I still have to wait a minute and 55 seconds, I can wait a full 2 minutes.)

Empowering Invince's duration adds on only about 7.5 seconds, which can be a good thing. However, Invince can only absorb so much damage. If that amount of damage hasn't been reached, it will last until it's time runs out. A fully powered duration Invince can be broken in one shot if the person who has Invince cast on them takes more damage than Invince can take.

Ahh, I see. Thank you very much for the reply. Would increasing invins's strength actually improve the damage it allows you to absorb as well?

Now that the skill has been put in prospective for me, unless it gets a drastic increase in damage allowed to be taken, it seems like it's only really useful for low level KQs or leveling.

I don't think Invince's strength can be empowered, but you can always test it out by clicking around and playing with the points in the empowerment window. After adding or removing points, hover your mouse over the skill's icon to see what's changed. If you don't like it, just click 'Cancel' instead of 'Complete.'

Invincible cannot have it's power upgraded. It won't even let you stick a point into it.
