E/Mo healer or N/Rt healer?

I'd like to ask some questions to those that use e/mo hero too - I'd like to try it, but i confess, i'm a little uncertain - does it require micro? And do you have to flag it back in areas with enchant stripping or it can deal with it? No, an ER Protter has about 100 energy so even with ER stripped... they can still spam the skills. Trust me, I VQed a lot of strip areas, and no problem with mine.

ER = Infinite Energy
N/RT = Must have stuff killed to get energy.. most of the time E/Mo is better.

1) Why do people use N/Rt? Is it still better overall?

2) Should I make changes to my E/Mo build? People use N/Rts for a few reasons. They're more reliable than Monk heroes thanks to Soul Reaping and they're in the Sabway setup and fit into the Discord setup.
E/Mo is relatively new in comparison to N/Rt and has not caught on as of yet. I hold that an E/Mo with ER is the strongest known option for a hero backliner.

Which bond are you using? Life Bond? Prot Bond? I would really not recommend maintained enchantments on a hero apart from possibly Life Attunement. I would take Dwayna's Kiss instead, with multiple enchantments it can become a very strong heal - especially if your team has the capacity for an Aegis chain and Orders.
I take Infuse myself, but I understand why some choose not to and it isn't something I'm going to argue against.


You mention your unwillingness to Micro. An ER Ele hero will perform better than a N/Rt with micro simply due to the powerful energy management and prots. With no micro, the two are closer in comparison, but in my experience the Ele is still clearly ahead.

Oh, I meant Spirit Bond. Don't like maintained enchants. Oops, didn't realise that appeared to be missing when I glanced through.
I would say lose Healing Breeze for DKiss and put Dwayna's Sorrow on the MM instead.

In vanquishes, I use ER Protter to heal my team. Even if Ether is stripped, he has enough energy to maintain the whole team (w/ 2 monk hench). This is the build I use:



Give the hero a +20 energy staff with 20% enchantment. TWO monk henchies AND this? Have you tried removing one of the monks? Did it fail?

Especially in vanquishes, where there are shrines, I hate Rebirth. Especially on an ER when they should maintain high energy. I usually use Aegis instead of the res and Reversal of fortune when not using LA.

But if I am running an ER hero, I only bring one Healer Henchman. It should be sufficient.

EDIT: Oh, I don't use Dwayna's Kiss... I use shield guardian instead; Infuse suffices for heals. Vekk can spam nao.

TWO monk henchies AND this? Have you tried removing one of the monks? Did it fail? I think I also use 2 monks hench and an ER protter.
The problem is that when you are abusing the best damage dealing options in the game, you might as well go with more support because you are are able to provide sufficient damage with just 2 or 3 slots.

I prefer more damage slots and two "keep alive" players maximum. Besides, with more damage, the faster the enemies fall. The faster they fall, the less protection you need.

Simple, but effective.

Simple, but effective. Especially with all the midline defense you can cram in along side the high output offense without compromising the damage.
*stuff like Aegis, enfeebling blood, reckless haste blah blah

With an extra backline tho you can just sleep thru most areas and watch tv or whatever. autopilot style.
