From what i see is what you really want is an option to heal without going into close combat and without playing a supporter warframe like harrow or Trinity. This is still possible with melee as well!
Give the Redeemer, Sarpa or any glaive a try. They have ranged attacks, but are "melee" weapons. Neat for a quick heal. With lifesteal and the right stance mod, e.g. bullet dance for redeemer and sarpa, its a heal at the click of a button. The redeemer would be a shotgun volley right into the mess, with life steal, the sarpa the same for a burst fire shot, and the glaive will just tear through some enemies, bounce around and send health back to you. All you need is aim at an enemy and instead of pressing fire, press melee button. Done.

The operator version i suggested has the added benefit of virtual invulnerability. You need a heal? If you go into operator mode your warframe wont be downed. Its usually (as long as it doesnt have skills running) invulnerable the moment you leave it anyways, and there are options to (even automatically) repair it "from the outside". Its like those tank drivers in many shooters jumping out under fire to repair their tank :D Just if you are hit outside, you are just teleported back in. And it also works without any enemy around.

there is a mod for furis called "winds of purity" (limited to furis, not Akfuris or dex furis)

https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Winds_of_Purity

there aren't any mods that grant life steal on warframe ability dmg (apart from exalted melee weapons)... Inaros has innate lifesteal on finishers but that's about it (edit : valkyr has lifesteal with hysteria too)

on rifles, only Hema has lifesteal if I remember correctly

Additionally you may want to look into your operator as a means of healing:
Vazarin focus school grants your mates and your warframe when you are out of it health regeneration and invulnerability plus there are different Operator Arcanes for either health regen or heal on enter/exit.

Not what you asked for exactly but pets can also heal you as a percentage of damage they do with mods as well.

Many warframes have powers that heal as well.

Don't forget the Hirudo. Gives both a damage based lifesteal, and a small health buff+regen that stacks five times.

A single heavy attack with life strike these days is basically a full heal. Just need a nice crit-heavy side sword modded with sacrificials, crit damage, killing blow, and life strike. You can stab a guy when you're hurt and get right back to shooting. I find rapiers with Vulpine Mask are really good for this. You can forward block charge over to a guy, then follow up with the heavy attack thrust.

Vaykor/Justice proc also heals.

thx for ur contribution, the redeemer and hirudo r both interesting, to bad i cant get lifesteal on skills like mesa 4 or saryn 1 and 4, that would b so nice!
MR.hyde Dec 6, 2019 @ 12:23pm 
also i find the vazarin heal to clumsy, yes it is a powerful skill but to inconvenient to use
Yuki Dec 6, 2019 @ 1:00pm 
Vazarin is more difficult to use yes, but very powerful and doesnt just heal yourself.
And also not just your team, the main situation it is used for is protecting/healing targets. Like excavators and defense targets. For the later i would recommend to spend some points into if you have some spare.

That said the Magus Repair would be my favorite "automatic" version i mentioned and can be used with other focus schools as well, like the omnipresent Zenurik ;)
You just go into operator mode and into void mode immediately. Bam, 20% heal per second in 20m range. Working with a percentage it will heal even high HP warframes and allies in no time.

Using those "melee ranged" attacks however has another benefit as well:
You can also heal your pets with them. Pack Leader is the key. Usually i actually use it more for that than to heal myself. You know the best thing ever is not to get damaged in the first place :P

i didnt say difficult, i said clumsy^^ there is plenty of stuff to dislike, like doing 3 actions to heal, press 5, dash and 5 again, all with cast time xD but the worst part is that the operater spawns infront of his warframe, if he would spawn behind the warframe that would already b a big change for the better
