I think more or less in the way of Zeru, Weezer_Blue, Pitus, JoDiamonds, ...

Divine Boon makes each spell +2 energy more expensive, so it is needed some extra energy; either saving it with the devotion signet, offering of blood, ... and using mostly 5 energy spells.

It is easy to waist Divine Boon overhealing, this is why I think it fits well with Protection prayers, and also I think... that with the Smiting prayers which are casted on fellows.

May be Divine Boon is interesting together with Contemplation of purity, to deactivate Back fire and the like.
Or because by using Contemplation of purity you: remove some hexes and conditions + selfheal + recover 1 pip of regeneration and Divine boon is easely recasted as it is 5 energy.

I recenty got this spell and I do rather like it as a monk. However it doesn't seem to be working with Heal Party - I don't see my group mates getting the 'bonus' heals from Boon via Heal Party.

Can others test this out to confirm or debunk my concern?

Heal Part and Aegis and other, similiar spells give you (but not your teammates) extra health when used with Divine Boon.

Yea, if in fact it was giving everyone the divine favor bonus... Martyr+Divine Boon will be the build everyone would be running. lol

Some Quick facts:

Boon wont work on any non monks spell
Boon wont work with skills or signets
Boon wont work with itself
Boon does work with martyr and heal party but only gives the caster the bonus, not everyone.

Boon doesnt make spells cost +2 energy, you just lose 2 energy per monk spell you cast. If you have 5 energy and cast orison you get the full boon bonus.

Cant think of any more... Contemplation of Purity on boon monk is very nice combo

I dont see how cop is so good. I appreciate that its hard to stop with the short casting time and the fact that its a skill, and that it is around average. But then again, your wasting a grand total of 15/10e per hex. You apply boon, use cop, then use boon again, since you need to reapply. Somehow, against any major hexer this seems a bit tough to maintain against someone removing holy veil on you -.-

CoP is much better for my Prot/Boon monk than other anti-Hex skills. It heals you, it doesn't set off Backfire, it removes Conditions, it is almost impossible to interrupt, and it works extremely well in a Boon build that swaps Mantra of Recall for Offering of Blood (if you have MoR up all the time, then you've got an additional enchantment for CoP and everytime you use CoP, then you gain 20-25 energy).

What about using [skill]Divine Boon[/skill] with [skill]selfless spirit[/skill] for e-management?

Once you cast [skill]Diving Boon[/skill] you should be fine to cast [skill]selfless spirit[/skill] untill your in need of casting something on yourself again.
