Hey all, Just curious what you human monk healers are using for heroes. I have all the 3 different campaigns. Please give me your ideas for PvE

David Wooding · Sep 21, 2008, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Um well... whatever you like, it's your game. -.-

Sabway, with minor changes really , in 4 man areas i drop the Healer for a Ele or something else

Normally run with 1 healer hench 2 ele hench and 1 paragon/necro hench

the great thing about you healing is you dont have to use hero monks, i prefer hero monks over hench monk cause of hench monk bars, this leaves you open with a lot of options. I normally take 2 or even 3 SF eles in NM and discord heros in HM. just my 2 cents

Run three Discord heroes and bob's your uncle. For your bar, either run an Assassin's Promise base PvE bar with smite skills as added support, or a WoH Hybrid. I'd personally use a Smiter's Boon Monk, though.

Thanks for all your replies. This brings in another question: If I don't have a necro character (me), I don't believe I can capture the elite necro skills from which the sabway team is comprised, right?! Please assist more

sabway, bleh its good with anything, discordway is good too, you can go Promise, YMLAD, FH kind of smiter with three discord necs, Rac's works perfectly too.

You can capture any skill as long as you have access to making it your secondary so just make sure you go Mo/N and don't forget your capture signet.

You don't even have to capture the skills, just unlock them. Use Balthazar Faction points (easiest way is Zaishen Challenge, 2k every 24 hours), and then unlock skills that way.

Actually you can earn up to 6k per account every 24 hours. This is a little off topic but I dont really like using Balthazar Faction to unlock skills for heroes because your character him/herself doesn't get the skill, so you can't use it or count it towards your title unless you buy an elite tome later. You also dont get the extra experience when you use a capture signet. Capturing the skill is also more fun.

Zaishen keys are overly expensive these days. They are worth about 5k each, which means 2k to unlock each elite skill versus 1k for the capture signet.

Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.
I've been playing monk since the begining of prophetie, and when I have try Sabway, the first version, it was so awesome... but It make me playing differently than a monk. So I have try many builds, many ways, making test do drive my team correctly in the most efficient way.
If I need to vanquish and catch some elite skills, I have a pure smite build based on signet.
If I just vanquish, I take assassin's promise whith PvE gwen Skills, hex, and 2 protect skills, aegis and protective spirit.
If you do a coop whith a time limit in nm or hm, you will verify that the quickest way is the sin approach.
But after a time it makes me bored, there is no challenge. So I need from time to time to take others heros than necro, and have fun whith micro managing (^_^)

Actually 6k every 24 hours is in zaishen Elite, i think.

Yes, which is more worth it than the 2k in Zaishen Challenge.

If you wanna run sabway on monks be prepared to make some changes.
The minion bomber and ss necro from the sabway build will generally do some nice damage but since you're a monk theres no need for the N\Rt healer, you want to use that slot for a pure damage hero, i run a SF ele, ineptitude mesmer or even a warrior in that slot.
In NM, running 2 SF eles and a normal MM (not bomber, one with the typical Flesh golem) with Foul Feast and Infuse Condition will get you through anything quickly and keep your party clean of conditions.
You could also run discordway like mentioned before.
