Healing Monk Census

Character Name: Dragou Du Porzan
Class: Mo/Me
Level: 14 (as of May 4th)
Build Focus: Primary healer with Mesmer Domination Magic secondary focus
PvP / PvE: ATM focused on PvE. Eventually will be balanced.
Guild: Currently in Soulless Warriors (http://soullesswarriors.com/), but I'm open to invitations from mature, organized guilds in need of a healing monk's services.

Best way to contact me is probably whisper in-game, or you can leave me a PM here. I'm taking my time moving through the map and am currently on the far LA side of the Shiverpeaks. I'd be happy to group with any party needing a healing boost, so feel free to give me a shout if you're in need.

• Evo el Curador, actually Level 14 only Healing Monk
• Monk's Nickname: Evo el Curador
• PvP,PvE does not matter... healing is healing
• I am a primary healer, I have only Banish and Resurrect as non-healing skill
• My Guils is called Easy Company [Easy] and I will stay with them. We rock

I use Mending on the Tank, I have "Heal Other"(!) and 1 Axe Skill to defend myself.
I like to have a second monk... my energy often runs low, as I only have Energy+8 =)
And: I speak German and English

Happy Playing.

I am trying out main/backup healing.

I have 2 Monks. One is a M/Mes and the other is a M/Necro very fun build.

Brother Bethor and Brother Nefas.

I was in a guild but left due to lack of guild members playing. I would join a mature guild. I'm 33 and would like to play with others that are older and mature.

I'll play main healer or backup. Both of my healers are under level 10 but I do play most nights. I have a couple other characters I am trying as well.

I hear ya. Battle.net kids are annoying

Im working on two monks atm; 1st, monk/mesmer (named Arrick Jr, level 12), and 2nd, monk/elementalist (named Arrick Sr, level 7). Im on daily, usually in the evenings on west coast time. I would like to get both to 20 and then venture into the pvp arena, but also play pve equally. I prefer seasoned players rather than newbs, who can't control their adrenaline and mouse features:-)). To each his own though! I hate when someone dies under my healing care, so for those who dont use tactics, dont bother to send me a message;P

Bye for now and gl to everyone.

I'm now level 18.5 or so and working on the Ascension quests, and I have most towns and outposts, upto Augary Rock and Destiny's Forge. Trying to get past the River now!

When I am healing I see it as my primary responsibility and I make sure the group is healed. I have tactics and know how to do my job. No, I'm probably not the best monk, but I know what I'm doing.

What attribute distribution do you guys have?

Level 12:
7 Healing Prayers (Says Modified to 8 guy that's Divine Favor)
6 Inspiation Magic
5 Domination Magic
1 Divine Favor

I always love it when some idiot warrior heads into a bed of enemies and dies. The first thing he says, "THAT MONK DOESN'T HEAL."

A group really needs 2 monks. The best group I've been in were 2 main monk and one secondary. When you're the primary monk people with secondary Monk skill think they don't have any healing resposibility whatsoever. That isn't true. With 6 to 8 people in a group one monk isn't enough.

IMO man thats what warriors are supposed to do and we (monks) are supposed to keep them up.... as to your skills, I'd drop the dom magic and throw that into favor and lower insp and bump up healing if you can. You're not there to be a damage dealer you're there to keep them alive and 4 stat builds are very hard to make effective.

Elurian Cysteness
L 18 Mo/Me: [EDIT: forgot I leveled last night :x]
10 Healing (+ 1 from Servant's Scalp Design for 11 total)
9 Divine Favor
6 Inspiration

in reply to the thread I consider my job failed if anyone dies in my party once. Yes I carry a rez but I hate it if even one member drops. I'm usually on from 7or8pm EST till 11pmEST on week days. Just switched guilds from Crimson Knights [CK] to Unnamed Feeling [UnF]

thx, I'll change. That makes a lot more since. I kept wondering y my healing wasn't as effective as it should have been.

How's this:

8 Healing (7 plus 1 from scalp)
7 Divine Favor
3 Inspiration
3 remainder

• Nickname: Same as forum login.
• Character name: Brother Jarodan
• PvE, PvP, or balanced?: Going for full healing specilization but I think I have some PvP skill.
• Would you serve as the main healer or are you more geared towards support healing and some extra function (please specify your other function)? Main healer is what he was made for.
• If you don't have a guild, are you looking for a guild or just a party every once and a while? Once I am out of the tutorial areas I'd be interested in hooking up with a good bunch of people. Prefer an older crowd that has alot of gaming experience.
• If you have a guild (and hopefully you want to play with people outside of your guild), what is it's name/can we have a link? No guild at the moment (dodging guild invites as I go).

Optional information, such as:
- Your secondary profession: Elementalist mainly for the defensive and escape abilities (run speed etc)
- The focus(es) of your healing build(s), if it's anything but healing: Currently sitting at (if I can remember this correctly) 5 Healing, 3 Divine Prayers, 1 Protection. Plan on going 11:10:10 respectively.

I'm definately a healing Monk.
On level 13, I'm pretty evenly split between Devine Focus and Healing Prayers. Not too much into protection and 0 in smite.

Secondary class is Me. I think I have 4 points in Domination magic just for backfire in a PvP situation.

I'm unguilded, and mostly solo, as for looking for a guild? I'm always looking, the choices out there are terrible, however. I hate grouping with people half my IQ/Age/Gaming maturity.

--Lyim X
13 Monk/Mezmer

Character Name: Fists of Fire
Almost always PVE simply because still learning the ropes
I can be the main healer, but I prefer to be used in conjuction with another healer, simply to be more effective.
Not in a guild, and not really looking right now. I solo but also am willing to group for missions and such.

Secondary Profession is Elementalist (no points in it though)
Focus of my healing is healing at 10 atm, and protection, at 6. I tend to try to boost the hp of allies, and use Heal Party liberally. Simply because I have yet to find/discover a more effective skill to use at my current level.

Character name- Helonia Starling

Contact- Aim: Jwh6913 ( note: I can't get online at a moment notice since I'm using dial up and other members of the household are on call sometimes- getting cable soon though

this is my main RP char- Monk-elem using firestorm and immolate as assist spells when there's no need for me to concentrate on healing. current stats are lvl 13, 6 in fire, 7 in healing, 6 in divine favor

the healing skills change as I get better ones my favorite has to be heal party because you don't heal the enemy and ressurect spell.

Location- currently in Yak's bend

Nickname/Character Name:
Gilchrist Liam: Lvl6 Mo/Me
Note: I'm still in pre-searing, taking my time (having a lot of trouble getting the tapestry shred from Gwen). I'm also not on very often.

PvP, PvE, or balanced:
Definately PvE.

Healing or Support:
Healing, though I can deal some decent damage, especially if my party has another healer but not enough damage-dealers so I can equip more damaging skills ahead of time.

Guild:
Yes, but I don't know the name. I share my account with my brother who plays more than me and joined this guild before I even started playing.

Jung Freud is the name, all heals. Currently level 17, should be 20 by the end of the weekend. Support types are rare in this game, everyone wants to be a paladin it seems. Give me 4 heal monks and 4 good mesmers and we can hold the hall of heroes for a week. Warrior secondary, from the weekend events it seems that the tactics line offers some of the best defensive skills with minimum point investment. I have played alot of tombs with my current build and I think its pretty uber, catch me in game anytime.

I have healing and divine favor capped (+2 on healing, +1 on favor atm) with the last 6 or 10 or whatever points in protection or wilderness survival. Very *occasionally* I'll uncap a stat or both to pump another category. This may seem foolish to many people, but many monks out there are conceptual art builds. Their protection isn't strong enough to hold off the mobs in level 20 areas and their healing isn't enough to save everyone. I pretty much go pure healing under the assumption I'll have another monk there, and that monk will not heal nearly as much as I do.

I literally ignore people with monk subs. I don't rely on them having anything useful stocked nor them being there if things go sour. I've seen some impressive monk subs, but let's face it...if you're in the Underworld an E/Mo build won't save a caster from dying with his heals. I see a lot of W/Mo builds out there, and I can't depend on them; to be an effective warrior you can't specialize in healing, and at the 20+ level you really need that extra something from divine favor. I get easily frustrated when someone wearing censor's eq and holding a -regen focus declares him or herself the main healer, especially when that monk starts throwing out smiting prayers.

I've found most healers in GW don't take their responsibility to the group seriously. I've met several great healers getting through the missions, don't get me wrong. But 80% of the players I've met in GW are immature 12-year-olds who lol at everything and abbreviate u, r, and rd. They quote marine movies while barking orders (contrary to mine most times, even if I know what I'm doing and am literally there helping a friend through a mission).

I know that's a little off-topic, but it's annoying when you get some "1337 h34l0r" who "r0xx0rz j00" with his "h34l skillz" and blames the other monk (me) when the group splits because of his unskilled brother and people die while I'm chasing the group to keep them alive while he dances in combat and "lol"s at everything. Do people really laugh that much irl? If so, I guess I need to move.

Note to devs: please disable emotes that aren't "sit" and "ready" in missions. : P

• Caduceus Auric.
• Right now, PvE.
• Main Healer.
• Either.
• I am presently guildless.

Optional information, such as:
- Your secondary profession, and what you use it for.

Mesmer. When grouped for PvE, not a whole hell of a lot. I'm too busy healing.

What do you mean by nickname?
• Characters: Vitae Infinitum (others are Inquisitor General and Witchfinder General)
• PvE as a means to get to the PvP goodness (so heavy PvP when I hit a decent level)
• Main healer with ranger secondary (ranger is there so i can unlock all skills for my pvp slot. If I use it for anything it would be for nature spirits and defensive traps laid before the fighting begins.
• I am looking for a decently sized guild with a guild hall and actively participating in GvG on a nightly basis.

I am a father of two and married with a full-time job. I am not looking for a guild with required call-times, attendance requirements etc... I am here to have fun.

I just re-did my attribute point.

8 divine
7 healing
3 insipratiuon magic

She heals a lot better now. All my troops stay alive. Except the stupid NPCs.

Sum Tin Wong Mo/El lvl 13 (for now) I am all about keeping the group alive, most of the time I don't even take an attack spell with me... It's all about the heals!

Any Protection Monks out there?

I currently have a Healer, but he's not a monk primary.

Angelic Favor, Ele/Mnk
lvl8
4 Energy Storage
7 Healing Prayers
3 Protection Prayers

Instead of healing in big chunks, his specialty is spamming.

An Elementist with no Firestorm?

Eejit the Blessed

Mo/Me

Healing/Divine Favor/Inspiration Magic.

With that build, I can run PvP, PvE, whatever you want.

I AM THE MAIN HEALER. I LIKE TO HEAL YOU!

PvE but I want to eventually get into GVG and Arena.
Main Healer. Currently level 12 with 9+1 in Healing, 5 in Divine, 1 in Protection.
Secondary is Mesmer for Insipration Magic (not using it quite yet, give me a few levels).
Guild is Higher Order (HO) and I am willing to play outside the guild. When I am not doing my own quests or helping out a guild mate I am usually in the Ascalon areas seeing if other people need help.

I found a Rune!!! Rune of Minor Protection Prayers off a Dwarven helmet. It increases my protection prayers by 1. So, I canned Inspiration Magic.

7+1 Healing
3+1 Protection
7 Divine Favor

Name: Zilm Trufar Mo/E LVL17 PvE

I am presently set up as a pure monk. I wouldn'y say I'm 100% pure healer as a few points are in Smite for missions/quests involving undead and general self protection. Willing to help if available.

May use E skills later as more points are aquired.

Tried to do Villany of Galrath last night and we lost. I was the only Monk. This is definitely a time to have 2 Monks. One for Healing and one for Smite due to the large number of undead. Oh, and at least 2 really great tanks and a good elementalist/mo for the mass attack. If anyone needs this quest let me know.

Later,
Zilm

You're right 2 monks is needed. However, I don't think smiting is the way to go. I'd rather have one Healing monk and one Protection monk.

I'm a "pure monk" also. I think that is the best way to play a monk. I tried using Mesmer Inspiration spells for better energy management, but I found that using protection prayers is the best way to manage energy. If you prevent damage you won't have to heal as much. If you don't have to heal as much you won't use as much energy.

Healing and protection prayers is the best way to defend yourself as a monk. A monk can't stand up to a warrior or other melee characters. The purpose of the monk is to keep the group alive. Even if that means you die in the process.

That's the Call of the Monk.

Name: Ms Rose
Class: Monk/Elementalist (sometimes /Mesmer)
Level: 20
Build: Primary Healer, max healing prayers and divine favor.
PvE: Focused on PvE, missions, quests, item hunting, signet of capturing, etc.
Guild: Leader of Left For Dead, http://www.leftfordead.org/ and happy to group with anyone from any guild. I am even happier to group with other good monks, as it keeps a mission party from almost never wiping. I know there are many of you out there.

I have 2 healer characters. One is Medijunk Mo/R lvl 19 and Schillien Elder E/Mo lvl 6. Schillien Elder is made to be a Arcanist Healer.

First:

Character name: Inacurate Neko
I switch skills for PvP and PvE.
I can effeciently and easily serve as either Primary Healer or Support. Depends on my mood and my skill layout.
Party, though am looking for a TIGHT run long-term PvP, but playing PvE too Guild. Am also thinking of starting my own, looking for people who like to play Monk and want to test a few ideas. [email protected]

Secondary Profession: Elementist. I use it for absolutely nothing, lol. I might drag Lightening Javelin once or twice with me into PvE for the Interrupt, but that is it.
AIM: Inacurate



Secondly, your comment is true but kinda not, too. I can, and have many times easily tanked while one or two warriors are beating on me. Without another healer of any sort helping me, and with one skill, too. :P

Two words: Heal Area.

You think up the rest....

Inac

Yeah, it depends on how powerful the enemies are. If you pump yourself full of Protection and Healing prayers a monk can tank.

You say Elementist is usless. Dude, use firestorm. When you con up on a group of enemies Nukem then start protecting and healing. But you do have a point. I no longer use my secondary on the harder missions and quests. I do nothing but missions first then go back and do the quests when I'm way to poweeful. That way I can test out other spells without taking much risk.

I've only recently discovered the joy of playing a Monk. I have two chars, neither with Guild associations [mature guilds considered]:

PvP: Filla Busta Lvl 20
Mo/E that specializes in not just healing, but in removing your hexes and conditions as well. It's a template build, but I'm skilled enough at it to keep good players alive (now if you're stupid, only god can save you)


PvE: Otto Bodie Lvl 7
Mo/Me that works a room pretty decently and keeps the humble players breathing. Still looking for my energy management Mes spells, but I do more dmg than I take and still keep a group full of meat shields around (FYI: "Otto Bodie is targeting 'x'" means kill the guy attacking me).

• Nickname: Jana

• Character name: Jana Marie

• Character Focus: Monk/Mesmer

• PvE, PvP, or balanced?: Balanced - lots of healing for PvE, even split of Healing & Protection and a little Mesmer Inspiration for good measure.

• Would you serve as the main healer or are you more geared towards support healing and some extra function (please specify your other function)? Main healer & protector. Can also fire a mean staff if people are not getting pummled around me.

• If you don't have a guild, are you looking for a guild or just a party every once and a while? I have a guild.

• If you have a guild (and hopefully you want to play with people outside of your guild), what is it's name/can we have a link? Knights of the Silver Flame. Link: http://knightsforums.servehttp.com

Optional information, such as:

- Your secondary profession: Mesmer

- The focus(es) of your healing build(s), if it's anything but healing: Build is based on healing (in PvP some protection spells too and even a divine one) with some annoying mesmer spells (both pro and anti hex) to keep people honest. I really like the inspiration line, and especially the spell Inspire Hex, which removes hexes and steals them for your own use . At some point later, I am going to switch to warrior or something, just to see what that is like.


Jana

Name: Flavonas Flaming (currently lvl 17 Mo/Me)
Play style: PvE for now, PvP GvG later

Absolutely commited healer (definately so when I get peace and harmony skill). No offensive spells (unless its required, or possibly zealots fire in the future when i get it.) Currently all attributes in Divine and Healing. Uses restore life for rez.

I was in a wonderfully effective group yesterday who had a El/Mo (Fatias!!) with the energy to spam heal party and orisons. So i was able to sacrifice energy regen to use divine boon to do some massive healing to keep actively targeted people alive.

Mesmer as a secondary but rarely uses it. Sometimes using leech signet, spirit shackle or mantles for known bosses/missions/maps, if I've energy and time to spare.

Currently no guild as I'm still going around meeting new people! Maybe some of you might have seen me around

Have other toons running around too, all with the last name Flaming.

• Character name
Zilm Trufar LVL20 Mo/E

• PvE, PvP, or balanced?
PvE- Healing 10, Smite 10+1, Divine 9+1 w/15 skill points in the bank. Presently have 0 skill points in Elemantalits. Never played a PvP match. May change to Mo/W. Soloing as a Smiting monk is hilarious!

• Would you serve as the main healer or are you more geared towards support healing and some extra function (please specify your other function)?
I am the main healer. A rare blessing indeed with two monks in a party. Think I've seen it only twice. The Smite is for party protection as well as my own. Retribution tends to keep them from massing me. A pure healer with little defense is THE prime target later in the game.

• If you don't have a guild, are you looking for a guild or just a party every once and a while?
Haven't seen one to impress me yet. Either lack of timely guild help, poor guild member play or quite honestly the endless kiss ass guild chit chat to the leader by one or two suck ups.

I have enjoyed playing the role of the healer monk. Getting close to the end of the game and ready for a character change. I just cant stand any more idiots running wildly around the map, get killed than wont shut up with the "rez plz" or telling me how to play. When the right group gets together rarely are there any deaths during any mission/quest in the game. I typically travel with henches. Smart game play is a true gift from god!

Never hurts to whisper me to see if I'm busy. Remind me you saw me on the Monk page of the forums. As you all know the constant invites as a Monk get little attention from me anymore.

Character - Kestrel Xavier, Level 20 Mo/El

PvE, PvP, or balanced? - Well, a pure healer doesn't change much between the two, but I'd say primarily PvP

Main Healer only

Currently serving as interim leader of the Coterie of Relios during Cicciro's (I'm sure some of you know him) absence. www.freewebs.com/relios

Mo/Me
Character name: The Giver
I'll do whatever, PvE, or PvP. Its all good to me
I can be secondary, or primary healer.
Part of the fireborn guild at www.fireborn.us
im just lvl 15 right now, but that will change soon :-)

PvP only, Nala Sinquain, and I love her dealer. Mo/N, I'm a necro PvE primy, so I can juice her with some sekzi Necro spells to suck some health for myself when I need to, or use the Sacrifice HP for Mana skill... I have a nice heal selection, but a poor rez sellection... but I do have emergency heals, the one that cuts my health and donates it and some more to the targeted player... along with the basic heal for so many point skills.

I usually bring a signet along and don't de-buff hexed allies; its more efficient to heal them while the enemy tries futily to pound them into submission. I kind of chuckle when they keep hammering on the same guy not reallizing a blonde-haired girl is radiating light like Jesus from behind him.

Male IRL, btw...
