I want my role eventually to be a support player as a healer....LOTS of XP at that from WoW and was a decent healer there, it suits my play style and personality.
SO my question is what is the best path to achieving that goal.
Thanks for any help.

Stop talking about "healers" first.
As this is a spaceship game, the support role you are looking for is called "logi", which means, you remote shield repair, or remote armor repair fellow fleet mates from within a logistic class ship, like the Bantam, Kirin, Augoror, Scythe, Scimitar, Guardian and more. Check the traits and requirements of those ships and adjust your skill plan accordingly.
Also you need a group to fly with, either in a corp or public fleets like Spectre Fleet.

Here is a guide to the "healer" comparable Logistics role in Eve. http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Guide_to_Logistics If you are interested in a "mage" comparable role (also fleet support) http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EWAR_Guide |

This is hilarious and accurate.
But yes, you should spec into logistics ships. Maybe start with frigate logistics. If you want to really specialize in this, you can train into both shield and armor logi. After getting reasonably skilled into the logi frigates, I would then suggest you train into the logi cruisers. |

In EVE you're not locked into any role. Train your logi related skills for sure, but keep in mind that outside of incursions, it's almost exclusively a PVP role. Your odds of finding a fleet where you can do logi will depend largely on the corp you join. A well skilled logi pilot can be hard to find and is highly valued, but train enough other stuff so that you have stuff you can do while not flying logi.

Logis are always loved by almost all PvP Corps.
train (i prefer armors so ill go on with that, if you find a group that prefer shields then just swap):
1. Logistics V 2. Amarr Cruisers V 3. Gallente Cruisers V 4. Remote Armor Repairer V 5. the 4 (EM/Thermal/Explosive/Kinetic) Armor Compensations V 6. Capacitor Emissions Systems V 7. Repair Drone Operation V (optional)
all the core/fitting skills and you're set and ready to go.
good luck! o7

This is good, and if you want a shorter train time, then start with the logistics frigates first. |

This game is 6 months older than WoW so it had none of the WoW influence that most other MMOs had. Eve is completely different from WoW and if you want to enjoy this game and / or be good at it you will have to pretty much unprogram the WoW out of your system. Or at least I did.
It doesn't have to be a huge problem and won't be as long as you play this game with an open mind.
I had a rough first several months in this game because I kept trying to play it as if it were that other game. I might be a little more hard-headed or maybe slower at picking up game mechanics than others. I'm not really sure on either of those but I just giving a little heads up to keep an open mind so hopefully your transition is a little smoother.

Just don't be disappointed, if it doesn't feel like in WoW. Having been a dedicated priest in WoW for five years, I found it took a little getting used to EVE mechanics.

I would add the suggestion that you do all aspects of PVP, simply because it helps you understand where your reps (i.e. "heals") are most effective. This is ESPECIALLY true in Eve because you don't "see" your heals so much as hear or react to notifications. Learning the PVP aspects also helps you understand combat tactics that you need to react to quickly, and be prepared for. For example, your healing options are different if you are flying in a passive armor fleet versus and active armor fleet, which will be different from an active shield fleet, which will be different than a passive shield fleet.

I don't think getting out of a WoW mentality will be that hard, because been over year since I played anyway! And I am fairly decent at picking up the concepts of games...NOW whether I execute those concepts accurately and effectively is another story (just look at my World of Tanks stats) LOL |

first up, welcome to EVE. Logibros are highly valued by corps so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding people who want you to fly with them.
A solid logibro will be able to fly a Shield and an Armour logistics frigate and cruiser. In the frigate line, the Deacon and Scalpel are the preferred hulls. In the cruiser line, you'll eventually want the Guardian (Amarr, armour) and Basilisk (Caldari, shield). The Oneiros and Scimitar are also handy to have access too, but most Logi pilots prefer the cap chaining hulls especially when there's more than one logi pilot.
Choose which ones to train first depending on your corp's requirements. There's no point being a Guardian pilot if your corp flies mostly Shield ships.
You're going to want solid Engineering skills along with both armour and shield tanks. The Logistics Cruiser skill is one of those nasty ones that really requires training to V. Logi V pilots get a little antsy having Logi IV bros in the cap chain.
Good luck, have fun. Don't forget to bring a drone along to get yourself on killmails.

You'll be loved as a logi. But you need a fleet, so obviously your first step is finding people to fly with.
Almost any PvP-centric group will happily have you even while you are training towards the T2 cruisers. In many cases you will profit from ship loss under an SRP as well. All the usual suspects apply here-- big sov null coalitions, FW, RvB, Eve-Uni and pretty much anyone else that likes to pew pew.
I suggest getting some practice doing PvE (virtually zero risk) while you get used to fleet functions like the broadcast system, work on your positioning on grid, etc. There isn't really any PvE designed to teach you these fleet roles, and often the first time people get to do something like logi is when it's high stakes PvP. Running some easy PvE to get a feel for things will save you lost ships later.
Logi is a cap-intensive hobby, so be sure to train up core skills. Solid tanking skills are a must too as logi usually come under fire at some point in a battle. You're no good to anyone if you get blapped off the field. Likewise Navigation skills come into play as you need to react and keep the fleet core in rep range- a difficult proposition with MWD frigates zipping around, a little easier in a battleship fleet.
Once you are a full on logi-bro, you are also well positioned to try out other snowflake fleet roles, such as EWAR or advanced tackle.

A word of warning:
don't aim to train straight into those ships, just as with a full healer they only work when there's a group and when the group is ready, formed and starting. Outside those specific times a full healer can't do a thing on his own and you'll get bored because you lack other options.
So do train up combat related things, or other play styles you might enjoy, and once you have found something you like doing and makes you some isk then focus on the logis. |
