MM+healing prayers skills

I am using this build right now, http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/N/Mo_Fa..._Minion_Master
minus the flesh golem as I haven't gotten to cap yet. Someone has told me that using any healing prayers skills adds -1 degen to my minions, and kills them faster. I experimented a bit but didn't seem to have any difference, does anybody know the answer for this?

That is false, just a rumor that has been around forever. Minions suffer ever decreasing degeneration over time, nothing changes that.

Last I checked, thats total bunk. Only certain monk skills actually heal them tho, but none of them destroy them any faster.

Only spells like heal party won't heal them - heal area, direct target heals, etc all will heal them.

hmmm....double post...

Awesome guys thanks for the help

That is a "Urban Legend of Guild Wars".

People that heard it from a friend that heard it from a friend that minions die when healed are crazy about this myth.

One of my friends said he was monking in a mission, and the Minion Master RageQuit because he healed one of his minions. He went BERZERK like my friend should have KNOWN not to heal those minions "because they die faster".

Its funny

Holy crap will this thing ever DIE...DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
