you can't go wrong with collector wands/offhands and in most cases staves as well. cantha has the yummy 15/-1's and you can find standard 20/20s and such in tyria (crystal desert/southern shiverpeaks). haven't looked into nf collector items much o.0

as for a healing-centered build i'll make a little outline here and you can fill in the details.

1 dwayna's kiss

2 signet (free heal ftw!) - devotion / rejuvenation

3 an elite - word of healing / light of deliverance come to mind

4, 5 low-specced prot spell(s) - reversal of fortune / mend condition/ dismiss condition / mend ailment et al

6, 7 e-management from secondary profession / utility / hex removal / self-heals

8 res or optional 'other'

meow o.0

i use a +5energy 20% enchanting sword or a +5energy +30hp spear, and a effigy healing off hand (20% frc +30hp).

as for skills if your a new monk player i would recomend trying holy haste, it speeds up your heals and makes word of healing and heal party really affective.

heal 16
divine 14
prot4

orision of healing
word of healing
signet of rejuvination
words of comfort
protective spirit
holy haste
res -i bounce between sig's and rebirth
heal party

as for energy managment the best thing i can say is dont top people off after a fight unless they are way down or you have full energy (and even then i would only use heal party once), and know what target to cast protective spirit on, a warrior will most likly not need it but if a soft targets getting attack its often he first thing i cast on them. and try not to stack up skills on your bar like healing breeze jamies gaze and heal other its really not needed, small fast heals often pay off the best because you dont have to wait for 10 energy to be able to cast a heal, and your not waiting for the party member to be down to 1/3 health to make it wortt usign a big heal. I would rather heal 2 members for 120 each then use the same amount of energy to heal 1 for 220.

hope this helps
