Mo/Me healing build - works anywhere

Quote:

i too used to run secondary energy management things along with heal other instead of WoH. (of course now i run nightfall monk elites.)

but there is nothing really wrong with your build here sir, aside from lack of condition removal and rebirth. Also consider Heal Party, one of the best spells in the game, and always worthwhile unless running Light of Deliverance. (another great spell)

if you change it like that it is very similar to a woh build, except where woh is more energy efficient at heal, your MoR build could last longer if all you had to do at that moment was remove hexes.

if you like secondary prof emanagment, try OoB... it still works in pve ok.

So it's not a GvG monk. It's a PvE monk. Therefore it can be less optimised and care less about energy management, covering all posibilities and damage mitigation through alternate methods like kiting and disrupting.

Of course you are right. In PvE everthing works. Take a skill bar of heal other and healing touch and you will still do well. Also, since you know the type of enemies you'll be fighting, you can go lower or higher on things like condition or hex control. And there are less synchronised Adrenaline spikes or obsidian flame spikes in PvE.

However, PvErs should know that GvG monks are generally optimized builds. Every possible skill is analized and tested, and issues like energy management, damage mitigation etc. are seriously taken into account.

There are several skills that were proven to be less useful in PvP that can be found on this build:

Orison of healing - a poor choice as heal / energy goes, and rather slow cast too.

Healing touch - also a poor choice since it can't be reliably used or other members of the party. And monk skill bars are too cramped to allow a skill like that.

Dwayna's kiss - it's an ok skill sometimes, as backup to the main healer (Glimmer, BL, ZB etc) though usually GvG monks would take Gift of health when running a protection setup.

Heal other - absolute no-no - mana draining skill. The heal per energy return is way insufficient. You'll just empty your tank.

2 hex removals - overkill except if you really know you'll face lots of hexes like in FoW for instance. Inspired hex used to be a must before they nerfed it. Now its pointless. Holy veil is the standard hex remover nowadays.

Mantra of recall - just like inspired hex, it used to be great. It isn't anymore, not only because the nerf but also because Factions and Nightfall got us great monk elites.

Resurrection chat is ok.


Again. Almost any setup will work in PvE ...Alesia did take us through the game too ... with a very poor skilll bar. However, if you're looking for optimised build, you will have to accept advices coming from the PvP world. It's a choice to make.

Heal other *Shudders*

aside from that it seems to be ok, howver u could do with a betta elite and perhaps a signet or so to reduce energy requirements for improvments in the tougher areas
