Monk Hero Spell Question

Do heros use divine spirit efficiently? Do they use protective spirit effciently? I'm asking this because I have never seen my monk hero use divine spirit, and I read on wiki that heros use protective spirit as a healing spell?! Are these two spells good on heros? I wanna heard from people who have experience with this. Thanks.

I guess they would use Divine Spirit like any NpC by spamming it...

Divine spirit is nice, they dont spam it use it when they enter battle...its oddly useful for the spam happy heroes - Ive ran it since day one, no problems yet

It's more than likely that heroes have no concept of memory, so what they see in that instant is the fact that you have a fair chunk of your health missing. They intend to 'protect' you from further incoming damage, whether such damage exists or not since the AI doesn't know, by casting Protective Spirit on you.

Which means, they're not using it as a healing spell, only it looks like it. Since they can't pre-empt very well, Protective Spirit on AI autopilot tends to not be very useful. If it's on a hero, expect to override their use of it to get maximum benefit.

So divine spirit works well on a hero? Do you have any idea why my Odgen Stonehealer never uses it? Would he only use it when his energy is low?
