Pick 3 out of 4 healing spells

I have 3 spaces on my monk hero skill bar, but there are 4 healing spells that I really like: heal other, healing touch, heal party, and healing breeze. Could you help me pick 3 out of the 4 as a suggestion please? And no, I don't have WoH, just pick from these 4. Thanks.

Just invite Alesia. She likes 3 of those skills, too. Plus, she even has Word of Healing.

Please just answer my question. My hero is much better than Alesia anyways.

That's a tough one - Personally I'd drop Heal Party unless you're using Healer's Boon (HP + HB = GG, otherwise it's too slow for too little health.) Otherwise it's a tossup between Breeze and Touch - Heroes don't always use Touch well, (though they often do and it's a GREAT self-heal), while Breeze is generally considered too expensive and isn't instantaneous, but mathematically has the best health/energy ratio of all of the above skills (ignoring DF bonuses). Considering you're using heroes, I'd drop Breeze - they don't generally manage energy well.

Thanks for the reply. But how does heal party heal too little? Heal party heals your entire party, it's got more heal gain per energy than even healing breeze. Is 2 seconds considered slow? Also, how is healing breeze too expensive? It costs as much as heal other and lasts for 15 seconds.

The only one that may be usuable is Heal Touch, the others are not that good.

I suggest [skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill], [skill]Ethereal Light[/skill] and if you need a bigger heal [skill]Jamei's Gaze[/skill]

other good choices are [skill]Words of Comfort[/skill] [skill]Orison of Healing[/skill]

but out of the ones you are asking take all but heal party.

Thanks. But how is heal other not good (edit: lol, Jamei's Gaze is the same as Heal Other)? And how is orison of healing good?

It is virtually the same as [skill]Jamei's Gaze[/skill]

As I play monk alot, I usually got Prot like Snowbunny said but as heal, it is very low energy cost, low casting time and low recharge time. If you need to, you can party heal and still have decent energy to use other needed skills.

negating damage > healing damage

All of them spells are pretty atrocious tbh.

Dwayna's Kiss + WoH + a bunch of protection prayers is the way to go (you never really need more that a couple of direct healing spells, Word and Kiss are the best ones)

Thing with Heal Party is, often something/somethings will deal a significant amount of damage to a character while the rest of the party is fairly uninjured. In this case, Heal Party has an atrocious healing:energy ratio. Also, you're not going to be able to heal them in time before they die (unless someone else is healing/protting).

2 seconds is VERY solw for a Monk spell. Think about it this way. If you're about to die and need a heal, you have to wait 2 seconds for it. Also, it's extremely interruptable, even for inexperienced interrupters.

Btw, I lol'ed at someone suggesting Jamei's Gaze instead of Heal Other. they're the same skill, it's just that JG is Factions and HO is Proph.

Read the second reply in this thread, it states that it is the same skill.

If you don't have WoH, then Alesia is probably better than your hero...

Heal party is do bad that you could probably choose any random three healing spells and anyone would pick them over heal party. I'm sure there are a few that this wouldn't work for, but for the most part heal party is worthless now. If you need a party-wide heal, Light of Deliverance is the only one that makes sense. Low energy, low cast time, and medium heal. If you need a massive party-wide, then you messed up somewhere else.

Marty already covered the problems with HP. As far as Breeze - The healing only works if you're not already at max health, which is a downside, and is healing over time instead of instantaneous, which is also (usually) a downside, but more importantly it has a 2 second recharge and heroes don't use it intelligently - a spammable 10-energy spell is generally a bad idea on most monk hero bars.

Use henchmen until you unlock more skills. Heroes are only better then henchmen once they are runed out with max modded weapons and access to more skills. Until then, henchmen are more then enough.

As for those 4 spells, they are all bad. Healing Touch will have your monk running into agro to heal frontline characters. The others have high energy costs and can't be spammed often. Hero monks will cast them regardless of how little damage you have taken and when in a full party, that means they'll run out of energy fast.

I know this is straying a bit off topic, but I've seen an interesting GvG monk, who stands at radar range from his party on top of a hill, and uses heal party and an occasional glyph.

well jamei and heal other despite healing for the big amount of hp they heal they cost 10 energy so they arent that great

Heal party it´s not bad it has its uses in the right places
