3.5 Is casting Healing Blast a swift action

[Almostdead]

Gift of the Divine Patron (Su): You can spend one of your turn/rebuke undead attempts as a swift action to activate the chosen power.

Healing Blast: In place of applying an eldritch essence invocation to your eldritch blast, you can change it into a healing blast.

So if you activate healing blast as swift action, do you need another standard action to shoot it？

[Goaty14]

Yes, because Healing Blast does not explicitly shoot the eldritch blast.

Damn...Then what is the point of being eldritch diciple...There are not enough standard actions for cleric/warlock already...

Not necessarily. Yes, to fully use all of your class features in a round, for every round of combat, pairing two active classes like Warlock and Cleric make it nigh-impossible. However, I could plausibly see a build that uses cleric to give itself buffs (before combat), and then uses Eldritch Blast in combat as an offensive option.
