You have got to be kidding. Hybrid monks are the most effective means of party support currently available.

Why is that? U want to have a Heal Party that has 40 healing and a PS for 14 seconds?
Specialization is better. Just take 1 monk Healing and the other goes Prot. PS can last 24 seconds for instance and HP will heal for like 85.
Splitting attribute points in too many attributes is bad for energy for monks. That is one of the reason why my monk can do WITHOUT e-management. Because the specialized skills are more effective at the same cost. Less often spamming skills = less energy needed.
And dont call me a bad monk, I have solohealed in 8 man parties before with minimum or no deaths. Even after most skirmishes, my energy is still up at 90%. It is all about timing of skills and maximizing their potential. Often the Prot&Heal monks call for energy at these times.
Besides, if you go Prot, what Healing skills would actually be needed? There are lots of Prot spells that heal a quite good, and if you max Divine, they heal even better then a Max Healing spell without much Divine.
Max Divine, Max Healing OR Prot. Maybe take Glyph of Lesser Energy if you need it.

All I will say though... All that stuff about solo-healing 8-man areas?
Goes to show PvE is really easy, and really forgiving.
And Whirlwind - you're a fool.
I've played a healer, long in the distant past, while I was still bad at monking. It was easy. Energy wasn't a problem. If anyone can run themselves dry playing a Healing monk... they really need to uninstall, tbh.

One of the reasons heal is worse than prot is that it takes too much energy to spam heals.

There are lots of Prot spells that heal a quite good, and if you max Divine, they heal even better then a Max Healing spell without much Divine. First, you shouldn't need prot spirit to last 24 seconds. second as a hybrid you'd take LoD not HP for a 65ish party heal (and if you have 2 hybrids thats x2). I play hybrid builds and have never needed to regen energy, hybrid builds are more effective on your energy supply as you can more capably deal with any threat rather than covering a problem with just another heal.
A hybrid monk that always calls for energy would do so even if they played a single att line because they are bad players, not because they play hybrid.

Maximizing your potentional is NOT having skillbar that says "massive heal" just to fit "massive heal" slot in there.
What you dont understand /perhabs because you never tried it yourself/ is that you do gain more power because of versatility than you loose by reducing two attributes by one and two and putting rest to third.
Basic reason is because you are more able to sync with your similary specced coleague.
two simultanous prots lading on spiked target followed by one heal do same as two prots from prot monk and two heals from heal monk: as result your total pool of energy at monks is 5e ahead if you have hybrids.
its about rational use of energy. if your specialized monk is full and party needs straight heals, all he can do is waste energy on DF healing while healing monk burns trought it and gets headaches. similary, if you need protection and straight heals are mostly irrelevant, same happens in reverse. if you have hybrids, they both use moderate amound of energy and are both ready for next encounter faster because they regen in meantime.
its about worst case scenario where one monk is on ground and your remaining one can still take care of most stuff.
and most importantly: there is not enough of good stuff ot put on pure healing monk bar.
also, i.e. PS does NOT have to last longer than ~10s. prot is not attribute hungry. if will notice it quite soon when you start playing it: you do same job with 16 as with 12 in prot. there is no reason not to put points to healing and get some bars-go-up skills.

SoA and SB might prevent more damage if you are aggrod badly, but it doesnt prevent -10 degen. So in some cases it is much better to have HB.
In a versatile pure Healing monk build, HB definately should be there. Next to a Ress, Hex remover, Condition Remover, Partywide Heal, and massive Heal.
A Prot monk could have a build with the same abilities, except it cant have Partywide Heal, but Aegis instead for example. Which doesnt work against AoE elemental dmg.
Casting HB and Healing Seed is good for healing tanks, especially with 20% enchantment stuff. It is a set and forget, so you can spend energy on healing other partymembers.
I've played 1 year almost exclusively Healing, but now I am more exclusively Protection. HB is certainly good in specific conditions. So is Infuse. Now can we talk about really useless monk skills?
DONT start about Unyielding Aura, it is the most fun skill ever! Time to teach the noobs to listen to you...
OH NOES DEGEN SO I MUST PUT HEALTH REGEN. This is your attitude to someone dying. How about let someone degen by 100 health, then heal them 100? That's better than wasting 10 energy on heal breeze.
Quote: except it cant have Partywide Heal, What is extinguish then?
Quote: Next to a Ress LOL. On a monk :'). Rofl!

Except heal breeze doesn't heal for much. It's crap. You will over heal, or under heal. What's with this 'tank' business. Warriors do a LOT of damage. You shouldn't be putting so much tanking crap on them and then 'setting and forgetting'. Unless for very very rare places. People say PVE is so much different to PVP. If the PVE'rs played it like PVP'ers, they would find themselves doing missions a lot quicker and dying a lot less. Quote:
