Based on your training, you look like you're decently well distributed to either bolt or use CS spells. No matter what you're training, you'll always be able to heal... so I don't really consider that to be a training consideration unless someone ONLY wants to sit in TSC healing.

Without knowing which spells/circles you favor or what you see yourself hunting going forward, it's difficult to give any specific advise. You've got a lot of spells for your level from my POV, but I favored the lore benefits for 111, 1110, and 118 over maximizing CS... so I've always had way more lores then most for my level.

Empaths are pretty hard to mess up though.... if you find yourself wanting/needing something you don't have, just hold off on spells for a bit to pick it up. My level 71 empath only has about 20 more spells then you do and has been up-hunting minotaurs since 68 (1106, 1110, 118, and 1101 if needed to finish them off).

A couple thoughts:
-You can drop armor use to 6 ranks now (assuming you are in doubles). 8 is no longer needed.
-What society are you in? If GoS, I would try to get 65 ranks of blessings as soon as possible for free mana. If not GoS, why not?
-I might drop down major spiritual to either get more empath spell ranks (to maximize CS) or more transformation lore for faster healing (need 93 ranks i think at your level for 0 rt). I can't imagine you are going to be able to keep 240 up with your current mana so less major spiritual probably won't bother you.

Voln on this character--not sure GoS even existed when it was created.

I think I created this character and my cleric as my first characters through Voln after everything I ever did before is CoL.

Yea, seems 6 is the new 8 with armor ranks...that changed for all armors needed so I need to educate myself on that change with my characters.

Thanks for the help all.
