Why not N/Mo in Sabway?

Yes, the monk is susceptiple to enchantment removal ....and so are the targets of the monk spells. Weapon spells can't be stripped, however.

There isn't really any reason why you can't have N/Mo. The rit spells tend to be bigger heals because the monk ones have divine favour boosting them. Try comparing a N/Rt with a N/Mo during a vanquish and see which one you prefer.

[edit] When I vanquish, I usually bring a N/Rt healer, and a prot monk, so healing, prot, condition and hex removal are all covered.

I hear what you're all saying, but you forget to take Healer's Boon into account, which is the main reason for me to favor N/Mo over N/Rt (Ritualist restoration elites aren't really amazing IMO). Jamei's Gaze still costs a little more energy per point healed, but at 12 healing prayers, it will heal an amazing 151x1.5=226 health. PwK and Life are good party heals, but Life has a 3 second casting time and I'm not too happy to see my hero cast it in the middle of a fight. But without it, MbAS and SL are seriously crippled. Healer's Boon is a divine favor spell, and a N/Mo has zero to that attribute. With 0 to DF, it lasts for only 10s so you have to keep recasting it every 10s. And the reason why we bring necro primaries is because of soul reaping.

As to why N/Rt rather than N/Mo? Let us compare Jamei's Gaze with Spirit Light at level 12. Jamei Gaze costs 10e, 3/4s cast, and 3s recharge for 151 heal and cannot self target. Spirit Light costs 5e, 1s cast, and 4s recharge for 156 heal and you can self target. Spirit Light is superior, for more heals per energy cost.

True that Life takes 3s to cast and lasts a max of only 20s. This is why in discordway we usually take more than 1 spirit in the team. Reasons to bring N/Mo rather than N/Rt are the protection spells and hex removals but a N/Rt is superior to the N/Mo for pure heals.

Healer's Boon is a divine favor spell, and a N/Mo has zero to that attribute. QFT, i cant believe it took 10 messages for someone to realise this.

But Squishy ftw is spot on, Xinraes is a quality skill.

Both are good, I tend to run a standard WoH hybrid Necro/Monk quite a lot of the time.

WoH
Patient Spirit/Dwayna's Kiss
Dismiss Condition
Remove Hex
SoA/PS
Aegis
SolS
Restore Life

But then again as a warrior I do miss Splinter weapon.

~A Leprechaun~ Since I mostly play with my girl, we generally run 2 of those. Sometimes the elite gets changed to something like LoD or Divert hexes.

Monk skills are way less powerful without divine favor. rit skills dont need it, they jusnt need some crazy energy managment. plus you can get heal and prot in one attribute. Sounds great in theory, but when you actually look at the numbers, you have faster casting, higher heals, and Prot Spirit. The NRt doesn't compete unless you're bringing Splinter Weapon.

Sounds great in theory, but when you actually look at the numbers, you have faster casting, higher heals, and Prot Spirit. The N/Rt doesn't compete unless you're bringing Splinter Weapon. 99% of Sabway builds bring Aegis and Prot Spirit on the bomber so that's a mute point.

Personally I find the N/Rit far more versatile covering prot/condition removal/spammable heals/rez/armor bonus and offense all on the same bar at acceptable potency.Monks simply can't bring that much to the table and while they may be able to heal for more whats the point if it's overkill?

I tend to find the AI handles the N/Rit bar better than it does monks and I also found monks tend to get targeted WAY more than my rit ever has although that's speculative comment after minimal testing.

N/Mo's are all good, I use them every now and then especially in hex heavy areas, but the trend and popularity of the N/Rit speaks for itself, all opinions aside.People have already worked out the numbers.
