Curse

Hey everyone, I have a couple questions. First off, I have a healing monk, level 20. I recently did a Fissure run for the first time. I was totally unprepared for it. I quickly realised that the days of the Shiverpeaks, where I could just Orison of Healing when needed, and sometimes Heal Party are gone. I was just wondering what other healer's skill bars look like? What did you choose for your 8?

Right now I have equipped:

Healing Breeze
Devine Boon
Rebirth
Heal Other
Healing Orison
Heal Party
Vigorous Spirit
Healing Seed

I was just healing to level up.. my original intent with my monk was to make a Chinese Farmer. I have Zealot's Fire, Symbol of Wrath, Balthazar's Spirt and Aura.. I think I have everything I need, really, except an elite. What would you guys recommend for that type of thing? Healing Hands, Mark of Protection, and Shield of Judgement all look nice. I'm not so sure about the shield, because the enemies being knocked down would interrupt my main source of energy. What do you guys think of these elites? I'm actually only at Riverside, and this is my first char that far.. so directions to where I can obtain them would be nice as well.

I was also thinking.. It might be hard to maintain a nice amount of energy with all those enchants on when farming. What are some ways that I can maintain it? Would Blessed Signet be something I should look into? What if spamming Devine Boon isn't enough for my HP? Should I carry another healing spell in case? I'm really new at this in case you couldn't tell.

In any case, any replies would be awesome. ^^

Blessed Signet only works with maintained enchantments (the ones that take a pip of energy off your regen).

The only one of those that you have in your skill bar is Divine Boon, so Blessed Signet would only give you 3 energy each cast.

I was reffering to using Blessed Signet for farming, I'd have at least 2? Balthazar's Spirit, Devine Boon, dunno about Zealot's Fire or Balthazar's Spirit.. Can someone clarify please?

I suggest using neither balthazar's aura, symbol of wrath, or blessed signet while farming. Run healing breeze, shield of judgement, fear me, watch yourself, flurry, zealot's fire, orison of healing, and balthazar's spirit. Should be obvious what you do, spam the adren moves for zealot's, rest is healing/defense/upkeep. I can kill groups of ~15 or so trolls in S shiver outside of droknor's, or at least as many griffons outside of rankor.

Er.. the purpose of Devine Boon is to heal yourself and activate Zealot's Fire. I don't know how those adrenal skills compare to a 7 energy 1/4 second cast spell. I wasn't even aware that adrenal skills activate Zealot's. Guess you learn something new everyday. XD
I guess I just figured it'd be faster going if I used those two other spells. Sure they cost a lot, but I'm gonna be fighting less than 10 seconds a mob. I have time to recharge afterwards. The reason I chose warrior secondary was for Balanced Stance, namely.
On the other hand.. Balthazar's gives you adrenaline as well as energy, huh? Hmm, I never thought of that. Then I'd have even more free energy. *thinks to self*

Wee~
Someone answered the first question.

Thanks for the post.. I'd thought about Reversal on my bar, but I don't know. My attributes as of now are 12 healing, 12 devine, and 9 protection. I need to do those quests to get more points? I have no idea where they are.
