Does Monk healing really degen minion health??
Chaco Nautzi
I heard this from some guy that called me a noob because I didnt think he was a MM because he wasn't N/Mo(He was N/Me)... He also told me that he wasnt one because Monk healing degen'ed minion health. So what I am asking is, Does Monk healing really degen minion health??

What do you mean? I think I know what you mean...In that case no. Minions' health degens regularly, but the longer they stay alive, the more it degens.

This guy I todld you abotu he was also a jackass, btu I mean if it were true it would make sense, dont you think?
Because certain necro armors increase holy damage, necros are like the opposite of monks, etc, etc.

Maybe it would make sense, but it still isn't true.
The only thing that increases minion degen is time. Using healing spells can make them live longer, and then they'll degen faster because of that, but it doesn't happen any more with monk spells than with Blood of the Master.

No, there are always a handful of topics about this in the Necro forum, it's mythe.

The majority of Minion Masters are N/Mo, using Heal Area or an equivelant spell to heal thier minions.
If holy healing did in fact cause minions to lose health faster, do you think that there would be so many Necromancers using it?

I run pure necro with my MM build since I'm always swapping professions.

I never saw into using heal area, but it's still effective.

I used to use HA all the time. literally. It's a great spell when your health is dropping.
So No, it's definatly a lie...

There was a lot of 'research' done about monk spells further increasing the degen on minions and they came to the conclusion that it didn't.
Since the changes to blood of the master and veratas sacrifice it's no longer all that nessasary for a necro to be monk secondary with heal area. I haven't used monk secondary on my necro for quite some time, instead choosing mesmer purely because I can't be bothered to change back and forth when I go echo ss etc.

That guy just "thinks" he knows everything. N/Mo works for me

The simple fact is that the longer a minion stays alive, the faster its health degens. It makes no odds whether the minion is healed by a necro skill or a monk skill.
Personally, as you can only have 10 minions now, I more often than not just make new ones when their health gets low rather than fight a non-energy effective battle of trying to keep them alive. There are of course some exceptions to this, but that is usually how I play.

$hade.
It's a myth, i'm pretty sure every 20 seconds (I think) the minions get 1 or 2 pips of degen. 1 i'm pretty sure.

You never saw into using heal area?
Some monks never saw into healing YOU.
From a monks POV, no one wants to heal you every 3 seconds.

From this monk's point of view, him healing himsef for 420HP each time he casts Taste of Death is a welcome addition to my party.
