Looking for ideas on this build

Monk/any

[Unyielding Aura][Divine spirit][healing whisper][orison of healing] [patient spirit] [remove hex] [dismiss conditions] {optional}

I usually go Mesmer secondary with [power drain]

The instantaneous resurrection is nice and the heal power to energy consumption is nice. Divine spirit can be tricky sometimes he uses it and sometimes you need to micro. I usually manual it when he is under 10 energy. I guess this build works well in PVE general. I have not hard mode tested it too much so can not comment. Just wondering if you have any ideas to improve.

heroes do not use dismiss condition as you would hope. they only use it depending on if the target has a condition and don't take into account if they are enchanted or not. i usually give mine mend condition.

dwayna's kiss > healing whisper

for remove hex why not just give them cure hex if you're trying to make the most out of UA. it's what i give heroes since they can't preveil.

also orison is a terrible skill. not sure what i would replace it with if you are only making them dedicated healers but i wouldn't take orison if my life depended on it

do heroes even know how to use unyeilding aura?

I might use healers boon over unyeiling aura, that way you can give the heroes orison and it wont be as terrible.

Replace Remove Hex with either Cure Hex or Deny Hexes. Cure will give you a healing boost thanks to UA, while Deny could potentially remove three hexes with your setup (UA, Divine Spirit, Deny). Pick and choose which is better for your area.

Everything else turbo pretty much covered. Replace Orison with Protective Spirit - even if you just throw 3+1 into Prot, that's still 10 seconds of the best PvE monk skill out there.

I took orison for a self heal for him or a secondary heal if healing whisper got disabled since healing whisper can not self target. I needed something to heal him and secondary ranged spell. It heals for 91 plus 38 and a 2 sec recharge. Healing touch would be 91 plus 76 5 sec recharge, but it would be hard to use on another if needed. I will give Dwayna's Kiss a try and see how it works and cure hex.

I have a prot monk running as well Hench and a mesmer with some hex support try

And to answer if heros use UY good

For some reason they seem to use unyielding flawlessly. It’s freaky if you die because you insta-rez by the monk full energy and health and ready to go at the same time the monk starts casting it again.

Unyielding is a Maintained Enchantment though right? I believe if you disable the skill so the hero can't use it on their own they actually will maintain it, this I only think, though.

They updated UA, they maintain and use it at the right times now.

no. But leaving a hero with PS and three pips of energy/ anything below unlimited energy is usually a bad idea.

My advice is to not use monk heroes at all for healing or protting. Monks simply do not have the energy management to work well at the hero level.

Use Eles or Necros for heals/prots.

Use Monk heroes for Smiting.

DA paras outsmart monks
ER eles outprot monks
Resto necs outheal monks, overall

Blocks > Prots > Heals

Use monks for smiting undead, and leave healing to henchies. In EOTN, monk henchies aren't too bad.
