Revision as of 03:55, 27 October 2007

The PvXwiki community finds this to be an excellent build.

If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page.

This build has been designed for the following use:

PvE
general

This PvE Monk build uses Healer's Boon to cast efficient healing spells. Combined with Glyph of Lesser Energy, this monk can heal the entire party for 240 HP for 15 energy with 15 attribute points in healing prayers. This monk is very efficient in mitigating party-wide damage and degen. For example, this is effective in quickly recovering from Searing Flames spells cast by ruby djinn.

Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=monk/e healin=12+1+2 protec=6+1 divine=11+1][Dwayna's Kiss][Ethereal Light][Dismiss Condition][Shield of Absorption][Heal Party][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Healer's Boon][Resurrection Chant][/build] </pvxbig>

Equipment

Due to the higher energy requirement of the build, an armor set with Radiant insignia would work the best. Blessed could also be used.
Take a Low energy set such as a weapon and offhand with -5 energy and switch to that set if E-denial is expected.
Take a Normal set such as a staff (20/20) healing prayers with +60 HP. Use this set for regular healing.
Take a High energy set such as a wand and offhand that both has a +15 energy -1 regen mod on them. Switch to this set during emergencies, remembering to quickly switch back to the normal set as soon as you cast only the spells you need.

Usage

In a PvE team setup, this monk works best with a full prot monk in the party.
Remember that all of your healing prayers spells' healing capacity is boosted by 50% so be careful not to over-heal party members with little damage.
Kite away from enemies and heal and protect yourself using Words of Comfort, Ethereal Light and Shield of Absorption.
Make sure you're not taking damage when using Ethereal Light. However, the chances of it getting interrupted is low due to the 1/2 second activation time thanks to Healer's Boon.
Use Glyph of Lesser Energy then cast Heal Party as needed. Each casting will heal the entire party for 120 HP. Unless you have a lot of energy, never use Heal Party with out using Glyph of Lesser Energy first!
Use Dwayna's Kiss on party members with enchantments and/or hexes on them to increase its efficiency. With the bonus from Healer's Boon it isn't unusual to see 300+ healing from Dwayna's Kiss on party members in areas with a fair number of hexes. Dervishes and Elementalists usually reap the highest benefit from this spell as they use enchantments on themselves fairly consistently.
Using Shield of Absorption on party members right before using Dwayna's Kiss will reduce the damage they take and increase the healing from the spell.
Use Dismiss Condition to remove harmful conditions, such as deep wound.

Counters

This build is vulnerable to E-denial.
Enchantment removal isn't too much of a problem as HB recharges fast and only costs 5 energy.
Anti-spam and Anti-Caster hexes.

Variants

Replace Dismiss Condition or a skill of your choice and...
- Add Holy Veil as a hex removal in areas with more damaging hexes.
- Add Healing Whisper if no conditions are expected in a area.
- Add Healing Touch as a high powered self heal.
- Add Signet of Devotion as a zero cost small heal.
- Add Infuse Health for a very high heal.
Replace Shield of Absorption with Holy Haste. It will stack with Healer's Boon and further reduce the casting time of your Healing Prayers.
Replace SoA (and re-allocate attributes) with Seed of Life.

Notes

This is similar to a PvP monk build Mo/Me Inspiration Boon Healer.
