I currently use a healing Wayward Wand and the Stoneheart on my PvE healing monk. The first should cost around 25k, the second one 10k.

I get the healing collector staff out by Port Sledge and then upgrade it with a 20% enchant and +5 energy mods. The stats end up like this:

11-22 Fire Damage
Req 9 Divine Favor
10 Energy
+5 Energy
20% Cast Time on Healing Prayers
20% Recharge on Healing Prayers
20% Longer Enchantments

After seeing your other post (you bought a customized victo's axe), i think it may be safe to tell you that a level 7 monk cant use the mentioned staffs, wand and foci yet... you need divine and/or healing to be level 9+

Req on staves only effects the dmg...not the Mods or Energy gotten.

So a lvl1 monk can use them just as well... (Monks dont attack...)

For a Healing Staff, a COllectors 20/20 staff (free) with a +5e mod (2-3k) and 20% longer mod (like ~10k) added is good.

But in the end, I like with +5e melee weapon (with 20%longer mod)+Focus, because this nets you more energy in the end. But note this won't work til you can meet the 9 req on the focus (Focii req does effect energy it gives, unlike staves). Pick up a Totem AXe (5k) and a collectors 20/20 Focus (free) - gives alittle more energy than a staff, without giving up any mods.

Yakslapper or Kephkets Refuge.

Which is why I didn't mention Yakslapper or Refuge.

For PvE healing I prefer Wenchlaus' Faith: 10/10 all spells, +5 energy, +30 health, req 9 divivne. If you are using a wand/focus or if you got the mods for a staff, the collector stuff from ther desert or any Cathan works great.

The tradeoff with that is that you can't whack things . It also causes some problems when you target things and start running toward them if you don't remember to press shift..

So is the Yakslapper good staff for healing? I bought one for 3k

Not the best for healing. The 20% mod is for protection, and the shortened deep wound isn't very useful at all anyway, regardless of what it's on. If you want a protection staff, buy a Kephet's staff. You want a full healing staff, do the collector thing.

I use a Kole's Torment myself (Yes I realise that it is a Blood Necro Staff but I accidently got rid of my Wenslauss' Faith, and it has the same mods)

I hear Brohn's Staff is ok though Ive never used it

I looked at your skill bar and I have a build you might like it's for healing.You got offensive mesmer spells and a smite skill in your bar and since you want to heal you should drop those for heal spells

Note: This isn't a PvP set-up this is for PvE

Monk/Mesmer Healer

Attributes
Inspiration Magic: 9
Healing Prayers: 10+1+3
Smiting Prayers: +1 (Minor Smite Rune, pay it no mind)
Protection Prayers: 4+1
Divine Favor: 11+1

Skills

Word Of Healing: Very large Heal, especially if ally is under 50% Health (You may not have this capped yet, if not use Reversal Of Fortune)
Orison Of Healing: Basic Heal
Infuse Health: I use this if I have an ally that get caught in a big aggro and being pummeled on
Healing Touch: Only used after an Infuse
Dwaynas Kiss: Good Heal, especially if allies are Hexed, Enchanted or have Conditions on themselves
Mend Condition: Condition Removal
Inspired Hex: This serves a dual purpose, energy management and hex removal. At 9 Inspiration it provides 10 energy
Rebirth: Ressurection Skill (Make sure you DON'T rez in the heat of battle, you will lose all your energy and no energy=no heals)

Equipment
Droknars Forge 1.5k Ascetic Armor (aka Tats)for energy
Kole's Torment (it has the same stats as Wenslauss' Faith)

I hope this is helpful for you

Well since you're primary job is to heal and not attack that will be as good as any.

Oddly enough, I have not seen a Catha staff that has the same mods.

Wenslauss' Faith is a good all-purpose monk staff that I use in both PvE and PvP.
