oh yeh, and when it says for channeling you get an energy from enemies in the area, just what radius is that, is it the aggro circle on the radar?

Zhou Feng · Mar 23, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

To johnactor:

I was referring to the Spirit spells in inspiration like Spirit of Failure. Channelings range is rather close. Around two to three characters distance from your current position a bit further. In the Nameless Isle theres a place you can check the full effect of Channeling.

Infuse Health is a so-so skill in PvE, if you are not agro that is. You can Infuse then heal touch yourself... but considering this why waste ten mana like that (5 Infuse and 5 Heal Touch to repair the damage done to self) when you can use ten mana and use Heal Other instead, with no danger to yourself.

Just created a Monk yesterday and got to Jungle already. Granted i was run to Droks and power lvled so have missed most quests.

But anyay build i'm currently running is

Ressurect, Remove Hex, Mend Ailment, Heal Other, Dwayna's Kiss, Orison of Healing, Mending and Blessed Signet

It seems to be working fine as i can keep a team of 6 alive(players of similar lvls not lvl 20's) for quite a while as the only monk, My energy management seems to be 'ok' with blessed signet as i'm usually recieving 6 energy when i can use it. Now and again i do find myself getting low or running out but most battles don't usually last that long yet.

Any suggestions or advice on how to improve the build... Or is it good for someone at my lvl?

if you're gaining energy from blessed signet, why dont you just go full prot bonder. bonding will probably keep your team alive better than mending.

Heal other is limited to like 80 health isn't it? Plus it takes a bit longer to cast. Whereas Infuse is nearly instant and I have healed like 130 dmg at a whack, which works well when your ally is dangerously close to dying. I only use infuse to keep an ally from dying and I'm almost always clear of the battle. So I can regen myself with healing breeze while keeping an ally alive and it's not like i'm using infuse constantly. If i'm being attacked however, I don't use infuse health, I would rather let the other ally die and rez him than for me, the healer, to die and watch the next 60 seconds as other allies drop off. Infuse is a usefull skill.

heal other at higher attr. settings is good for somewhere around ~150hp and DF bonus, actually. not terribly gimpy. i prefer going the spamming-5e-spells route when 'healing healing' though and if i do bring a 10e heal its usually healother.

Hello

Just started a monk since i always decide to make a suport char. =)

So... that one would be a full healer basically, suport char.
At first I was going to make a M/Ele... just 'cause the builds for healer in the primary sections of GURU was that... but... when i first start playing i noticed how bad it is to have mana! I am really at the beginning, lvl 3 or so... so i dont know if mana is going to improve much or if there are skills that will really help that out...

So i was looking around here and many said that a good Healer would be a M/Mesmer.... well... i had thought about it earlier... but i really dont know how a mesmer works... since it really is a complex class specially for me who just started playing guildwars.... it really is for the best?

Sooo... you guys would recommend for a healer: ele ou mesmer for secondary class? =)
Answearing this would reeeeaaalllly help me!! I'm so confused now.... =P

Thankyyyouuuu...

re above: i used mo/e when i firsted started monking, and going for a DS spammer build....

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mo/E_Divine_Spirit_Spammer

i find this build working great esp for beginning area, as it always keeps everyone topped up with hp, utilising full potential of divine favour's bonus... but it's rather hard to deal with large spiking damage... recently i turned to boon port:

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mo/Me_Boon_Prot

with CoP replaced by rebirth in pve... it helps to deal with spiking damage and consists of what a monk should consittues (hex removal, cond removal, heal port) but very tardy on energy

witha good monk, you should have at least 1 or 2 energy management skills (in the ds spammer, it's GoR and DS and 2nd it's MoR, inspired hex and to certain extend, divine boon) which cuts your energy uses

secondly, you should avoid over heal (ie if a character is at 90% hp, and you heal heals 40-50%hp, you havejust wasted a 30-40% heal if you heal now)... over heal is usually the single energy kill for beginner monks...

but all that being said, try your style out, read up articles on e management and practice them a little=)

cheers

i just started a E/Mo

im lvl 8 and im still new to the game..(proph)

ive been spec'ing in fire and energy as far as E goes

and been spreading out smiting and healing for my Mo.

but, idk what enchantments are best for my Mo and i also am not sure if fire is the way to go for my E.

i need tips on whatever magic is best to cause damage with and whatever heals are best for myself. (not for the party)

i really need some help...ive looked around here but its a bit overwhelming.

thanks

olly123 · Mar 03, 2007, 10:00 AM // 10:00

ok so ur mainly E/Mo id stick with going just ele, maby when ur higher level take heal party for suttort. other wise stay with being an ele

VF31 · Mar 03, 2007, 06:11 PM // 18:11

alright, so as far as my E goes, what should i spec? besides the obv energy.

As a main healer you win run out of energy fast and you need a way recharge. Mesmer/Elementist allows you to do that fast.

PvP as a monk you will be targeted first so for PvP I would go with W/Mo.

You can't heal as a W/Mo. You have no divine favor and you have less energy.

You can heal. It will just be horribly inefficient.

Mo/W on the other hand has many uses...go go glad's defense...

1. Traps are easily interrupted
2. Primary monk has no cost reduction for traps (which are quite energy intensive)
3. Two sec cast time - two seconds which could be spent healing

Re: Malan

If you are traveling solo or with H/H, do what you want. bringing more than one trap will tax you too much, however. Better to leave that to rangers.

You will never get a group that way, however. Smart guildies will slap you for it, and pugs will never take you(unless they don't ask for your build, in which case they get what they deserve).

You are a monk. Heal, protect, smite. Use secondary skills that benefit those categories. Things that QUICKLY help you and your team(protection, energy, skill recovery). You want to play something else, be something else
