its ok but there are better builds out there. I personally dont put any rezes in my monk heros. And i prefer a WoH/prot build simply because heros are pretty bad at protting. Also SoR is too energy intensive to put in heros as they'll spam it whenever if recharge, and ZB is also bad on heros because they do not wait until 50% hp drop so they'll be wasting a lot of energy

Hey, I don't even have heroes. This isn't my build. I'm just saying many people use it.

It's a really bad build for a hero monk and not even glyph of lesser energy can save the use of this build.No offense intended but heroes with a build like this will only overuse spells until energy is gone and they are dead. Cause of death lack of energy. What could be done is that you disable some of those skills and cast them yourself when necessary and watch the hero's energy level or make a build that doesn't put too much of a strain on your hero's energy especially monks.

[build=OwUTMwHD1p1NTEI31ewFpLG3AA] i run this on my hero port monk "if i use hero monk cuz they SUCk"

some times i take [power drain] or [energy tap] depending on where i am

i dont take to PS or SB on heros they spam the crap out of it

somethings you will have to force them to use divine healing etc but its worked nice so far

Normal != good.

There are frankly few hero monk bars that exceed the effectiveness of just WoH and 7 empty slots. Generally, you can add Aegis and Prot Spirit (both disabled and micro'd). SoA often gets good mileage from the AI. Adding mes interrupts like leech sig and pdrain is popular, but it forces an attribute split into inspiration that may not be worth it. Pretty much anything else just detracts from what the hero monks are best at doing: mashing WoH on recharge.

ZB is bad in 8-man scenarios where your likely to have 2 healers. It's even worse on a hero who won't be able to use it intelligently.

WoH is currently a mindless bar pusher which does exactly as it says on the cover quite effectively. Because it's so safe and near impossible to use incorrectly, it makes perfect sense to use it on a hero.

I'd consider a "normal" hero monk build to look like:

[Word of Healing][Dwayna's Kiss][Signet of Rejuvenation][Cure Hex][Protective Spirit][Shield of Absorption][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Aegis]
