This build has been designed for the following use:

This build combines HB (Healer's Boon) and UA (Unyielding Aura) to deliver powerful healing and resses with even the lowest energy cost spells.

Team Composition

/ HB Mimicry Monk (Player/Hero Version)

/ UA Protter (Player Version)

/ WoH Mimicry (Player Version - Optional)

Equipment

Standard monk caster equipment
Superior Divine Favor headpiece when casting Unyielding Aura. Swap out after casting for more health while retaining a more powerful Unyielding Aura.

Usage

Have the HB monk cast Arcane Mimicry on the UA monk and maintain it.

Counters

Enchantment removals can limit the effectiveness of the HB monk, since Arcane Mimicry has a long recharge. Always cover UA with HB(applies for the HB monk of course.)
Both monks are running on only +3 base energy regeneration. E-Denial can be severely crippling.

Notes

This build can be run on heroes. You may want to disable UA and manually activate it to control resurrections.

Variants

WoH Mimicry

Notes

To calculate the what the HB build heals if you cast UA at 14 Divine Favor, just multiply what the spell originally says it heals for by 2.355, round to the nearest whole number, then add 35 for divine favor. Example, Ethereal Light at 14 heal prayers says it heals for 95, so 95x2.355=223.725. Rounded it is 224+35 for Divine Favor in 1/2 seconds for 5 energy.
