I dont get it either.

Even if amount healed for energy cost was the issue, with breeze you cast it on someone taking damage and it stops their health dropping, slows it down or even regens without over healing. you dont have to worry about that person instead of waiting for their health to drop again to re-heal. One of the best heals for a monk IMO.

No one ever said all skills were equal. But there are no rediculously overpowered skills. There are tons of crappy skills that no one should ever use, and then the other half of the game is the viable skills library, and of these, none are more powerful than the rest.

How about we stay on the original topic....go to the skills forum if you want to compare healing skill...

Every update or nerf from ANet is there to mess over farmer/soloist/you personally.

At 12 healing, it heals 160 points in 10 seconds for 10 energy.
By contrast, two Orizons give you 120 points for 10 energy.

That is, Healing Breeze is more energy efficient than Orizon of Healing, and one of the most energy efficient healing spells there are. Especially if you're a warrior and don't get bonus from divine favor.

At 16 healing, orison is far superior to breeze, since you get ~70 health per orison plus divine favour bonus. The big thing, though, in a more general sense is that there aren't really any situations where breeze can be used that another, cheaper, better, healing spell couldn't be. The guy is poisoned/bleeding/diseased/burning? Dwanya's kiss or mend ailment will do better than breeze. The guy is getting beaten by repeated physical attacks? Healing seed will do better. The guy is suffering under massive degen from a necro? For 5 more energy than breeze, hit him with convert hexes.

If you're a warrior, putting a couple points into tactics and taking healing sig or I Will Survive, or a stance will work just as well as breeze. It also doesn't require you to have a monk secondary, so you can increase your damage output.

Mending a great solo farming or running skill. In a group setting, particularly in pvp, it is basically worthless. All I will say is that if you're playing W/Mo in PvP and bring mending, you had better put it on your monk!

Just keep even remotely on topic, here's a few urban legends I see quoted every so often:

"Monks shouldn't care about condition/hex removal"
"Monks don't need energy management"
"Rangers don't do enough damage to be useful in PvE"
"Necros are only useful as batteries"
"A successful PvE group needs at least 2-3 warriors and 2-3 monks"
"You can get etcos by salvaging ghostly remains"
"Warriors should never bring stances in PvE"
"Thunderhead keep is most easily won by guarding both gates"
"Pets are useless"

-Saying noob is a great way to show you intelligence.
-There are no monks in Augruy Rock Internation dis 1. (this was on a good day. I went there a while ago and there was 1 war and about 30 monks).

-You need a monk for the first misson
-smiting monks are always wanted

1. That the -next- patch will be when ANet stops the endless nerfing and instead starts implementing the improvements players have been asking for the past six months.

2. That things will be better in Chapter 2.
