Most monks I see in PvE seem to like [[Healer's Boon].

i run HB^^ on my monk, cause its brainless, powerful healing, be wary of e-management with it though. no GoLE, no Heal party.

the monk bar above is good but i would take out the prot spells for some extra healing and just bring a prot hero instead. also i would ditch ethereal light cause its easily interrupted, even though you get the bonus of faster casting from HB it could still happen at a bad time. some alternatives would be orison of healing or patient spirit. and also ethereal can't be used on yourself but orison or patient spirit can be used as self heals

Eh, tbh I dont like HB, it boosts every single healing spell, but [[Word of Healing] can overheal any of those boosted skills. You would probably have better chance with a WoH hybrid build like this.

[build prof=monk/any healing=12+1+2 prot=9+1 divine=9+1][Patient Spirit][Word of healing][dwaynas kiss][dismiss condition][shield of absorption][cure hex][protective spirit][rebirth][/build]

Idk its your choice, take the time to run both and test out which one you like better.

Ethereal can be used on yourself, its Dkiss that is the one that states other ally. By far a human with Prot. Spirit is far more usefull than a hero with bad prot AI. orison is horrible unless your running a HB/UA mimic, and patient spirit is a good choice but requires some brain power on when to use and when not to use it.

Personally I would run this for beginners

[Dwayna's Kiss][Patient Spirit][Seed of Life][Protective Spirit][Heal Party][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Healer's Boon][Resurrection Chant]


But this is the build I run when I monk

If you don't like [[Healer's Boon] or [[Word of Healing], [[Unyielding Aura] can be used with Protection Prayers spells for large healing and efficient resurrection.

Agree. Aegis is king in HM, especially throughout Cantha where there are alot of physicals.

Assuming you have all chapters available:

I don't always take PS, depending on the team and area I like Spirit Bond more.
Just communicate with the other monk or check which spells the hench/heroes have.
Aegis is on my bar most of the time, as are SoA and RoF. Depending on the area and team I take RC or Divert Hexes most of the time as elite.
That leaves 3 slots: Seed of Life, GoE and one utility skill.

Pure healing? With a bit of decent play it's easier to prevent red bars from going down than to make them go up fast, specially when under pressure. So either hybrid or prot for me.
