Curse

I play a monk. He is a ranger and doesn't have quite the energy that he should due to wielding an awesome bow. I like Ranger because of being able to have one or two ranger slots depending on the mission. Especially Stormchaser, that Ranger version of sprint, has saved entire missions, allowing me to get away and then rebirth the entire team after the baddies have slunk away. And I like the concept of a bow wielding monk... although a bo wielding monk would be cool too.

I ALWAYS discuss that my energy is not the highest... but I will heal as much as I can... and any help that the other teammates can give to healing themselves or each other is greatly appreciated. In town.

I WILL switch skills as we are discussing the mission, in town, if need be. I ask for suggestions.

Despite being a low energy Monk (34), I have pretty decent management energy skills. My heals are effective and fast. I like the 5 pt Heals, especially Dwayna's Kiss which stacks healing on any enchantment. When I'm partnered with another Protection monk, we rock on toast.

As I said in another post, I have had FAR more great PUGS than bad or average. I must be doing something right.

The best and only 'omfg heal me monk' story happened last night...I just got to the Desert and grouped with some people to get to Augury Rock. Mind you, I'm the ONLY healer in the group including secondaries. Someone rushed into the scarabs outside the Oasis and we all die. Then someone aggros another mob of about 8-12 and we die. Then 4 of the party members start up with 'omg heal someone' and 'you suck n00b' , etc...I requested someone call targets before going into a battle, nobody did. I requested that if anyone had any possible healing (the Necro) that they use it to help use my energy for everyone else. The best was the W/E asking why I only healed myself when I'm curing his poison and bleeding and using Heal Other on him constantly. Then...it may be even better - the two most vocal people yelling that I sucked had no clue what the teleports were. So I was basically being called a n00b by n00bs. Once I pointed that out they shut up. The other two shut up earlier in the mission when I said that a) if you don't like me find another healer and b) flat out - I won't heal you unless you shut up and call targets.
