What would make a good healer boon build?I caped Healers Boon and I ma now toying with a a good healing build that would go with it.I have stated with some basic skills.

1,Dwaynas Kiss2,Sigent of Dev.,3 ?? Orisons for now4,Vig Spirit5,Dismiss Condition6,Healers Boon7,Bonetti's8,Res Chant.

The one I am really stuck on is number 3 if this for a tough mission I would use heal party but for normal quests I am not sure what to use it for any input would be nice.

I really like that Dismiss Condition and I can use it on my self.I will look in PvP forums but a PvE version would be nice.

for your free spot, i would stick in a hex removal. holy veil preferably. id also take rez chant out, theres no need for it, even in pve. ;p if 6 rez aint enough in high level areas (or more with morale boosts), then your team is definately doing something wrong and your hard rez wont bring you far anyways. so, if you want heal party (which is really really nice with healers boon in PVE), kick rez chant.

You can't make a "god" Healer's Boon build. You can only make a good one.

O.o
Not sure I wouldn't bring res chant....so you're basically saying that a monk shouldn't bring res? Or a monk should take Resurrection signet? Either way that really doesn't sound right. Res Chant is a very good way of getting a team member up fast with Healer's Boon. If you get Healer's Boon AND the 20% chance of HCT on the staff then that's a 20% chance for a 2 second Res Chant. Not sure "If the monk has to res anyone then the party is crap" is the greatest attitude to take into a mission.

My build, which is probably in no way perfect is:
[skill]Healer's Boon[/skill][skill]Vigorous Spirit[/skill][skill]Jamei's Gaze[/skill][skill]Ethereal Light[/skill][skill]Signet of Devotion[/skill][skill]Words of Comfort[/skill][skill]Mend Ailment[/skill][skill]Resurrection Chant[/skill]
I chop and change depending what is required..like hex removal..sometimes I will take out Words of Comfort in favour of a hex removal...sometimes I will take Power Drain...

A PvE Healer's Boon build that i think is alright.

Heal Other
Ethereal Light
[Optional Heal](SoD, WoC, orison, touch.)
Healing Seed
Rebirth
Healer's Boon [E]
Heal Party
Glyph of Lesser Energy

only real problem i suppose is the total lack of condition and hex removal. although in pve it's never quite the huge deal it is in pvp.

Not keen on Rebirth on a healing monk. With Healer's Boon, Res Chant is a 4-second cast with a 20% chance for 2-second cast if you also get HCT on the staff.

Some things to keep in mind with Healer's Boon is that some healing spells aren't affected by HB and therefore aren't really a good choice to bring with said elite. Examples are Vigorous Spirit, Healing Breeze, Healing Seed, etc. Ethereal Light is a pretty good choice since the half cast makes it much less likely to be interupted. I would reccomend something like the following:

Ethereal Light
Dwayna's Kiss
Words of Comfort
Optional
Healer's Boon {E}
Heal Party
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Rez

Keep in mind that any HB build, just as any heal build will only take you so far with no prot skills since allies can still be easily killed before you can heal if they get spiked. Also, I wouldn't reccomend you use HB anywhere other than PvE.

Depending on how comfortable you are with being in striking distance of mobs, Healing Whisper+Channeling goes pretty well with Healer's Boon. Archon's build is pretty good. Only changes I'd make would be to replace WoC with Sig of Devotion and put either Whisper or Dismiss Condition in the optional slot.

Age · Jan 17, 2007, 01:14 AM // 01:14

I will possibly go with Etheral light and Whisper maybe Jamei's Gaze however that does sound a little like Other.I wouldn't want to use Gift of health as for it disables your healing spells for X amount ot time.That is better on a Protection build.

I see it was fixed from God to Good.

I will wait a few days before and see if there are any other suggestions.Thanks.

Arrows[PURE] · Jan 17, 2007, 07:52 PM // 19:52

heal other/jamei's gaze is gd with healers boon i think, you can get a 300 heal with it

Celestial_Kitsune · Jan 17, 2007, 11:10 PM // 23:10

Heal + Prot variant with hex and condition removal:

Divine Favor: 10 + 1
Healing Prayers: 12 + 1 + 1
Protection Prayers: 8 + 1

Healer’s Boon (Elite)
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Heal Party (114 team heal; 1 sec cast)
Gift of Health (212+35=247; 49 heal / energy; 0.38 sec cast)
Res Chant (4 sec cast)
Reversal of Fortune
Dismiss Condition
Holy Veil

My healers boon bar consits of

Divine: 13
Healing:15
(Not sure on the numbers. Something around there i think)

[skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill][skill]Orison of Healing[/skill][skill]Dismiss Condition[/skill][skill]Healing Seed[/skill][skill]Heal Party[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Healer's Boon[/skill][skill]Resurrection Chant[/skill]

Yes it lacks hex removal. But it has the brute force of healing. At least for me it does. With glyph you can cast 2 free HP that heal for 120 or one HP and one Seed. Whatever you want.

This is indeed very true. Jamei's Gaze + Healer's Boon is immense.

soem of you guys are really fed up with the perfect monk bar...

Healing + Prot + Hex + Condition removal...

You got 2 Monks...

1 monk can maybe go Heal + Hex (good combination you can go full heal and non attributes hex removal or Convert Hex which is also good with no attributes points in it)

The other can try Prot + condition (condition removal is mostly prot so its a good combination) so you got 2 balanced monk builds which makes them both work toghether...

But still 2 Heal + Prot + Hex + condition removal monks is 1337 or not

cause u can use the same skills on one target, which probably goes towards overheal or energy waste in case u cast 2 of the same enchantments on 1 target... But with good communication that should be no single problem...

Edit: ow yeah Ethereal Light instead of Orison of Healing, with a 1/2 cast its not likely to get interrupted

especially when you are at the background

SanchO987 · Jan 22, 2007, 08:57 PM // 20:57

Hmm, I think this could be viable with some hex and condition removal along with rez chant YAY!

1.Ethreal Light
2.Dwayna's Kiss
3.Heal Other or Jamei's Gaze(prefer Jamei coz it has a cool name)
4.Healing Touch (self heal ftw)
5.Healer's Boon [E]
6.Dismiss Condition
7.Holy Veil
8.Ressurection Chant (OOOOOOOOOooooooommmmm)

Heal Prays = 12+1+2
Divine Favorzz = 12+1

Any variations to this build could be helpful though as it lacks E-Management....

johnactor · Jan 25, 2007, 02:02 PM // 14:02

Try this, with healing 11+4, divine 11+1 insp 10

Dwayna
Ethereal
Words of comfort
Heal Other/Infuse
Inspired Hex
Ether sig
Healers Boon
Res chant/restore life

Pros:

- Dwayna is improved by enchantments and hexes, for huge heals
- Words of comfort improved by conditions for larger heals
- Ethereal Light is just a big fast heal that targets self
- Heal Other is a huge heal, or infuse for a massive instant heal, to reverse a spike (I use sparingly)
- Inspired hex, if there's a lot of hexing, why not remove 1 and get energy
- Ether sig, if monking well, is a really useful 20+ energy when you're below 8 energy, so spam like hell if you have to, insp hex and or ether sig to get close to 30 again, and hey, if it's really that bad, swap to some +15/-1 regen wand/offhand for an extra 30en!!
- Healers Boon - the point of this thread
- Res chant/restore life, if you're after a mid battle res, restore life at that level of healing prayers will restore them close to full health and energy

Cons
- No direct condition dismissal
- HB is of course an enchantment
- You have to be careful to use ethereal light only when you're not in immediate danger, as keeping yourself alive is important if you see aggro coming at you.
Sup runes lower health, offset with Scar Eater (+60 health) and sup vigor (+50) which means i've got around 540 health

Akane · Jan 26, 2007, 04:29 AM // 04:29

Ethereal Light sucks at higher level PvE. You'll be interrupted like mad by archers.

Healing Whisper works like a charm in its place.

Healing Touch is great for self, but your silly hero monk will abuse it - running right into the fray to touch heal a tank.

Note: Healer's Boon is the BEST monk elite to copy off your teammate or hero (with Arcane Mimicry) so you can enjoy 2 elites.

Effigy · Jan 26, 2007, 06:50 AM // 06:50

Or you can cast between their arrows, and not get interrupted. Whisper is a good skill as well, but Ethereal is hard on pass up in an HBoon build.
