Equipment

• Survivor's or Radiant Insignias.
• A + 5 Energy/+ 30 HP Spear with a selection of shields, one for each damage type.
• A 40/40 (Healing) Wand/Focus set
• High / Low Energy sets

Usage

• Maintain Healer's Boon at ALL times
• Patient Spirit and Dwayna's Kiss are your primary healing skills.
• Use Infuse Health to catch spikes or heal very low targets.
• Use Heal Party for a powerful party-wide heal. This must be used sparingly though, for its high energy cost will quickly drain your energy pool.
• Use Draw Conditions to pull conditions off your RC or to get blind off frontliners
• Use Spotless Mind to remove hexes from party members

Counters

• Enchant removal can be a minor problem, but this is not a significant issue as Healer's Boon only has a 10 second recharge timer.
• Standard caster counters, Diversion, VoR etc.
• Unlike many monk builds, this build will be practically invulnerable to interrupts. HB will cause most skills to have a casting time of .5 seconds or less. Heal Party will have a cast time of 1 second, which may pose a problem if a Migraine mesmer camps on the monk, but this should not be a MAJOR problem.

Variants

• Mantra of Flame to abuse the likelyhood of facing elementalists in HA.
• Healing Seed for Draw Conditions
• Cure Hex or Holy Veil instead of Spotless Mind
• Heal Other instead of Infuse if playing as a secondary healer
• Hex Breaker
