This skill only heals for additional health, if your target has less than 50% health, after your target gets healed for the initial amount. I.e. if your target has 200/500 health, and you have level 12 healing prayers and level 0 divine favor, then your target will only get healed for 67. If your target had 150/500 health, then your target would get healed for 150.

oh.... if thats the case... then i don't like this skill, it fails too many times on me, in fissure and uw, the extra points help.... i think your right, the extra health is after you count in the extra hp for divine boon. Lots of people like this skill, but i don't, i'm gonna try to figgure another skill out.

It's a handy skill though because it only takes 5 energy and heals more than orison of healing, even without the under 50% bonus. And when a party member's health gets very low, its an energy saver to use Word of Healing instead of Heal Other, which uses double the energy. I spam World of Healing and Orison of Healing along with Heal Other in battle and it seems to be very effective.
It i supposed to be an emergency heal and I think it fails miserably at that.
Why ?
1. You try to use it in the window where target ally is about 35% health to get the full effect. The road down to 0 is fast and furious.
2. It takes to long to cast to be an emergency heal. And if you are dealing with spike damage in the 35% window. Often the result is death for your target.
I am sick of it. In PvE yes, when you have some time and mobs don't do too much damage, yes great...somewhat...

Actually... because of word of healing, it's really the only way I've been able to keep my team alive in those really brutal battles when you are down to very little energy. I find if I'm on a team doing a mission and say the monk leaves, or two people leave.. we still manage to do the mission. 
It's probably one of my favorite skills in the game. I use it over any other elite when I am playing a focused healer.

Fun, but a waste of an Elite spot if you ask me I'm playing a Healing Monk too, but since Word of Healing doesn't give that extra 104 Health bonus it should give me when the targeted ally has under 50% Health I think it's not that great. It's great though that when it does work I heal for over 300 Health I don't carry it, but I can understand some others do.

Maxiemonster: My friend and I have tested this the reason why WoH doesn't kick the bonus in is because, the divine favor healing kicks in before WoH healing kicks in. So if your hp is above 50% after divine favor healing kicked in, then WoH will only heal without the bonus. imo The divine favor healing should be kick in after the spell not before the spell so then WoH is effective.
