When with Henchies, I Smite. When with PUGs, I heal.

I always heal. PUGs expect monks to heal, and henchies can't hea lthemselfs at all.

Can't wait to get the monk heroes... perhaps now I can turn my full attention to smiting while playing alone... In PUGs I haven't dared to try yet.

Heal or Protect with real people. Most of the time, heal with henches.
However, I found when I wanted to cap a skill in Abaddon's Mouth with henches, it was easiest for my Mo/Me to go Illusion/Domination to get the job done!! (No hench in Tyria is equal to Willa the Unpleasant if you happen to run into her!) |

Woh and 5 energy spells is my friend, but I also like to go bonder with henchies, it makes them not get owned so easily
With people i'm almost always using woh build with mend cond and inspired hex/revealed depending on which area of the game it is. |

As you can prolly tell by name I protect. I do have 2 hats a supe prot hat and a supe heal hat. I only play healer when theres foes that are prone to strip enchantments and or make it painful to me to enchant. Now as far as playing with hench it is a ruff go as a Bonder to play with hench as Bonders tend to want to hang in the back and just keep the bonds up , but with having to actually shoot at foes to instigate the henches into doing something. That makes it impossible to remain in the back and stay safe. Now as far as bonding with real people Ive seen a healer complaining in S. F. WTF Bondo isn't doing anything !!!!!! My only reply was ok Tank do you want me to remove the buffs? And promptly from all in party except from the noob healer was NOOOOOOOO!!!! BTW when a Bonder looks like hes grunting hes doing something.
Oh and people wanting to healed by me better be in my pocket because I carry no attributes in healing so my heals work only in divine and are area effect only. Last edited by James Bondo; Oct 18, 2006 at 02:53 PM // 14:53.. |

When there's at lease another person, I heal or protect. When it's all henchies, I smite, dom, barrage or sometimes I'll even carry a hammer.

In human parties I usually heal. There's lots of damage-dealing profs and healers are always in short supply.
When henching I usually heal,too. It's good practice, and it's safer to rely on the henchies' killing abilities than their healing abilities. Just remember that CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE targets enemies for the henchmen without causing you to rush in and try to wand them to death. |

smite by self or henchie, heal with parties (though I did get to smite in one group since we had 3 monks, that was soooo nice).

Whichever I feel like at the time or works best for a guild group. I don't PUG with my monk very often, it is not worth the hassle.
I rather enjoy smiting so use it whenever the chance presents itself. Get gear and a hat for all 3 and use them all. |

PuG - Bonder or Prot, heal if I absolutely have to
With Henchies - Bonder (without Prot hench) or Smiter with both monk henchies. I really like running 3 sup runes and doing a combo of all trhee lines. I <3 henchies, they never complain about my silly builds I don't know why people think the henchie monks can't keep you alive worth a piss, they do me right everytime I play with them... |
