If I'm not mistaken, prior to Factions, WoH is a staple with all healing builds. Just look at the builds section and see the healing builds. You'll find a lot of them have WoH.

I wouldn't use healing breeze as orisons is good enough or switch to signet of devotion for emergencies.I wouldn't use rebirth unless you can't get restorelife or res chant.

WoH
Ehtereal Light
Dwaynas Kiss
Signet of Devotion
Mend Condition
Prot Spirit (sub Spirit bond if you prefer)
Healing Touch
Rebirth (some sort of rez)

attributes are ~ Divine 12 Prot 9 Heal 15 (as I recall)

All of the above spells are 5 energy with the exception of prot spirit/& Rebirth

It's terribly tough to run out of energy with this build. Juggle around att points in Heal & Divine as you see fit. And for some odd reason I don't think anyone has added this build to the Monk Build section though it is a staple WoH low cost monk healing build.

The WoH build that I normally use looks like this:

Word of Healing
Orison of Healing
Signet of Devotion
Healing Seed
Heal Party
Inspired Hex
Channeling
Rebirth

As long as you don't spam Heal Party you should not run into an energy problems.

This is what I use:

Word Of Healing
Orison Of healing
Dwayna's Kiss
Healing Seed
Mend Condition
Remove Hex

Essence Bond (Best PvE Energy Management Skill When A Warrior Can Maintain Agro)

Rebirth (Good if someone else has rez chant, since there are times rez chant won't cut it, like if you need to pull someone out of enemys and such)

You can change out either hex removal or condition removal, sometimes I bring healing bresse etc..

The key is essence bond for energy management, OOB and Channeling SUCK in PvE except in certain situations, but in FoW or other areas where a warrior will maintain agro essence bond will keep you FULL of energy.

as far as rebirth goes in monk builds i'd only use it in special places, such as uw/fow/elite missions that sort, otherwise i find res chant the best rez skill

Skills:
Archane Echo
Divine Spirit
Healing Breeze
Orison of Healing
Word of Healing{E}
Heal Party
Signet of Divotion/Signet of Capture
Rebirth

Attributes:
Healing- 12+4=16
Divine Favor- 12+1=13

Weapon: Andthing with a 20% enchant mod(Rajazans Ferver or Totem Axe are good)

Note: This is my favorite monk healing build. Very energy efficient with an echoed divine boon, cheap spells, and signet of divotion. Soemtimes I like to go 13 heal and 16 divine to make divine spirit last even longer.

(Have another monk that uses protection and is capable of removeing hexs and conditions)

The only time I use healing breeze is for 55 monking ^^ too ineffective for actual heals, IMHO

Anyway, if I'm playing pure heal pray which is rare nowadays w/ boon prots, I usually go w/

orison
woh
etherial light
sig of devotion
mend ailment/condition
prot spirit or res chant
inspired hex/channeling
edrain

I usually don't try to be enchant heavy, as pve mesmers suck For pvp, I haven't really used a heal pray build other than in hoh, which I forgot

I use the following when farming Sorrows Furnace.

Spells are linked to my num pad for easy casting. (Spam 4-5-6 for when things get crazy)

1. Healing Breeze
2. Remove Hex (Inspired Hex if not hex heavy areas)
3. Purge Conditions
4. Word Of Healing
5. Orison Of healing
6. Dwayna's Kiss
7. Protective Spirit
8. Rebirth (or other rez spell)

I disagree with everyone who says Healing Breeze isn't worth using. You can cast it on the tank when he's pulling and by the time he's back with mobs, you've regenned your energy back and he's stayed full health. You can also continually cast it on your minion master. Using single heals to keep him full health is sporadic, making him have to wait to see whether the monk is going to hit him again before he can recast his pet heals. With breeze, he knows he can cast his pet heals (sacrificing his own health) several times during each Breeze...and he knows exactly how quickly he'll be back to full health so he can regularly recast pet heals. You also can use Breeze to offset hex/condition degen or someone taking damage while you focus on healing other people. It's a basic "hit that one person once and forget about him" for 8 secs.

Protection Spirit is vital...When someone is taking spike damage, with Protection skills only up a few points, you get 10 seconds of damage limited to 10% of health. What that means is you can easily keep healing that person while PS is up either with single heals or throw on a Breeze and forget about that person. PS+Breeze= increased health for 8 seconds, regardless of the damage the mobs are putting out. PS>any other heals if someone is taking heavy damage.

I've also migrated to Purge Conditions over Mend Conditions or Mend Ailment. I've gotten tired of casting a cure condition, only to see that more conditions were below that one and then I have to later cast another cure or another heal due to degen. I prefer knowing PC will cure the person entirely and my Divine Favor heal bonus usually is enough to top off the person's health, without need for the heal component of Mend Conditions or Ailment.

Here's my build (has worked well in every situation I've been in so far):

Healing Breeze
Vigorous Spirit
Word of Healing {E}
Orison of Healing
Heal Party
Heal Other
Inspired Hex/Signet of Capture
Rebirth

Healing Prayers: 12+1+1
Divine Favor: 9+1

I use full ascetic's armour along with a collector's Healing Ankh (HCT 20% HSR 20% on healing skills) and Totem Axe.

The problem with HB is that it's inefficient compared to your alternatives. In almost every situation Mend Condition/Remove Hex and Orison will outheal HB for the same energy cost. You would be better off ignoring the degen'd person for 8 seconds and hitting them with a WoH (or heal other).

PS+Breeze= increased health for 8 seconds, regardless of the damage the mobs are putting out. PS>any other heals if someone is taking heavy damage. My problem with this is that I run 16 Healing, 15 DF. I just don't have the points to spend in Protection, I leave that to the other monk (if present). Situationally, Prot Spirit and HB are very effective, but in a pure healing build they are unnecessary. By the time I get those two spells cast on the spiked target I could easily have healed them to full with WoH and Heal Other.

I don't have experience using Purge, I'll have to check it out.

My heal bar has been fairly consistent for the last 6 months.

Guess what? HEALING BREEZE SUCKS!!!!!!

Now, people are correct about not using Heal Other with Woh, its kind of overkill on energy. Obviously u need condition and hex removals, 2 or 3 direct heals, maybe a heal party, and either a e-management skill or a prot spirit ( though this only comes in handy against enemies over lvl 26). I never bring a res with me, because an extra heal or prot can prevent those deaths.

Did i mention HEALING BREEZE SUCKS!!!!!!! !!! !!!!! !! !! !!! !!! !

Healing Breeze Sucks

Lets say your healing with divine favor for 41 hp (not unusual) and you cast healing breeze

41+ 180 (Maxxed out)= 221 Hp for 10E

Vs Orison *2

41 +41 +73 +73= 228

so Orison basically the same amount of healing per point of energy spent, but wait, there is more

If your target reaches full health, whoop, wasted energy, so your Healing breeze has lost x% effectivenes, where orisons you can apply as needed (one or two pops)

However there is even more, A mesmer uses shatter enchant, doing 100 Damage, if this is done just after you cast it, you might only heal 60 health, and they will take 100 Damage (loss of 40 overall)

So now your target has lost 40 health, your 10 energy down

If you throw Healing wisper into the equasion, Healing breeze just goes out of the door

Healing breeze is trash, and anyone who says different doesnt have a clue what they are talking about

The problem with these kinds of threads is they all degenerate into elite builds only.

The nice thing about Guild Wars is that nearly any build can be successful, both in PvE and PvP.

Sorry, but...

We might as well end any arguement and just say "if you're not BL/Boon, you suck as a monk".

The player makes the healer great, not the skills used.

..and with that, another thread passes off my radar. Started with good info then degenerated into another "here's why you suck if you like skill X" debate.

Go ahead and make a monk without any skills, or with skills like healing breeze and mending, let's see how for you get. First come the skill sets, the the player skill.
