I was trying to think, I know alot of the time groups go 1 healer, 1 protection or 2 healers.

Sometimes they even bring half heal/ half protects.

I was just curious for hero builds, is it almost better to say use 2 half heal/half protects? Or are a full healer/ full protector better?

I am not meaning it always has to be 1 healer 1 protector or 2 hybrids. I know 2 lod heroes work good and what not. I was just curious if maybe hybrid heal/protect heroes did better then pure heal+ pure protect since they choose their skills in an odd way.

Im not sure about the combination, but with the high level areas, a lot of people go for heroes with [card]Zealous Benediction[/card] and then a general prot build, the big heal is unlike most protection skills, and a allows you to have powerful dmg reduction along with a large spike heal.

No. Heroes use zb on allies >50% so the energy return isn't triggered. Good way to drain energy imo. If you want to use it, you have to shift-click disable it. I cba to do that in pve

I always run my prot monk as [skill]Restore Condition[/skill] They seem to use that fine.

[skill]Shield Of Regeneration[/skill] is used effectively, however it needs some serious e-management.

[skill]Divert hexes[/skill] Is ok.. they seem to use it just to remove one hex though

And [skill]Shield Of Deflection[/skill] can be used effectively by heroes, however they can get trigger happy.

For healer i just run a standard [skill]Light of Deliverance[/skill] bar, sometimes i have to force him to use it more often though.

When using hero monks i always go 1 heal 1 protect, no hybrids.

Fair enough!
To be honest, I dont run monk heroes, the henches do fine for me. Firepower over healing for me.

I normally do not run monk heroes, like distilledwill said the henchie healers work fine. But when I do, I take one healer that uses WOH or LOD depending on the area(most of the time WOH) and a Hybrid prot with GoH, RoF, SoA, Sheilding Hands, res and an elite like shield of regen+GOLE, RC or ZB.

And for some reason my Talkora does not run herself out of energy when using ZB, or on a vary rare occurance maybe.

If I run two monks I'll usually have an LoD and WoH monk (both 14 healing prayers). The WoH monk is hybrid prot (14/10/10) using PS, SoA and Dismiss condition and the LoD monk is full healing prayers or hybrid prot depending on where I'm using them, but he always has Signet of Rejuvenation, Dwayna's Kiss (they don't know how to use it effectively but most of the time their target will be enchanted or hexed anyway) and Cure Hex.

[skill]Restore Condition[/skill][skill]Gift of Health[/skill][skill]Reversal of Fortune[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Guardian[/skill][skill]Aegis[/skill][skill]Power Drain[/skill][skill]Remove Hex[/skill]

[skill]Light of Deliverance[/skill][skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill][skill]Reversal of Fortune[/skill][skill]Shield of Absorption[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Aegis[/skill][skill]Power Drain[/skill][skill]Remove Hex[/skill]

These are the two builds I like to use. The monks chain aegis very well together. It is nice to have prots on both monks as well.
