What weapon(s) does your Healing Monk use?

Quote:

I use a Droknar's collector Smiting Rod for farming, a Holy Rod for any other time. Unfortunately, outside of drops, getting a max Divine Favor based Holy Rod is a chore. Well, it used to be, until I started farming Sand Wurms for bleached shells. Now I can get all the Holy Rods I want, though I only need one. My offhand is the 5k Divine Symbol from Droknar's.

Sometimes if my secondary is Warrior, I'll bust out a sword to do a little bleeding. But I do like contributing to the group's damage output, which is why I had to get a Holy Rod. I have 0 points allocated to smiting when I'm the group healer.

Remember this (and I've proven it by fighting): Smiting weapons do double damage on undead, and Fire weapons (Holy Rod does fire damage) do double damage on Ice-based enemies (like Siege Golems). They also only do half damage on like-based enemies.

Morgriff's Staff (for the armor)

PvE: HoD sword with 20% longer enchantments and collector's healing ankh: +10 energy, +1 healing prayers, +30 health.
I like to be able to take care of myself if situation gets ugly and that's why I like the +enchantments and +health bits. there are 3 enchantments i use most of the time: HH, seed and shielding hands.

PvP: the 20/20 on healing skills staff with +5 energy head and +5 armor. i always make a second one with +enchantments just in case.

For healing and active protection duties I use 3 weapon sets currently :
- Hammer with -5 energy
- Denravi sword 20% enchanting and 20/20 icon (prot or heal)
- Denravi sword 20% enchanting and +15/-1 icon

For a bonder in pvp I my weapon of choice is a +30/+30 life divine favor or protection prayers staff most of the time (and a +30/-2 set).

Hi everyone i use these 3 sets

I'm using these now:

Set 1:
(Gold) Cane
Damage 11-22 (req. 12 Illusion Magic )
Energy +5 (while enchanted)
Halves skill recharge using Inspiration Magic (Chance: 20%)
and
20/20 Rockmolder

Set 2:
+30/-2

When I heal I use Brohn's rod/Stonehart. There's a good argument for using the 20/20 collector healing ankh instead of stonehart, but I do prefer this way. Breezes of 10 are good (and well, I _might_ need that extra 5 health from a level 17 orison, sometime). Casting time/recharge for healing spells is not usually that big a deal in my opinion but that depends what skills you use. I used to use Yakslapper, even though it's protection, it's a good staff and I played a hybrid heal/protect most of the time. Brohn's rod is a "must" though, I don't think there's anything better if you're sticking with monk attributes. I sometimes switch to Brohn's staff for the 60 health bonus - sometimes gives me enough extra time to run the hell away but I never use it normally. Gorrel's staff would work as well for this, on a budget.

For a Mo/N, Gordac's Needle and a collector 20/20 blood icon could be more useful - for recharge on Offering of Blood. Typically more energy equals more healing. I've not tried this yet but I like the principle. Only problem is I find 7 blood a good cutoff for OoB, which doesn't meet the requirements for these artifacts.

For 'normal' protection I'll still use Yakslapper, for bonding I use soulstone for its 20%/+1 divine favour on blessed signet (switching with a -1 regen, +15 divine symbol in an emergency).

The green monk artifacts beat just about any gold stuff you're likely to find, anywhere. Oh and for the record; there's a 20/20 healing staff outside of port sledge for 5 intricate grawl necklaces.

i use a brohns holy rod+ -50hp off hand

also IDS with 20% enchants + -50hp off hand

both for my invinci monk.

My healing monk use either a Holy Staff or Holy Rod + Healing Ankh, all from the desert collectors.

For my healing monk i use just a plain fire wand and the off hand ank from the collector in ToA. Its to early (or late for you day workers) to go look up the names. I group farm FoW and OrO with these and have no problems with energy or health.

Depending on the build, I use a combo of these while healing:

20/20 Healing Ankh
+5 AL (While enchanted)/ 45 HP (While enchanted) Divine Symbol
+5 AL Denravi Sword
20% Enchanting Denravi Sword
Yakslapper (For when I need to deal damage with a rod)
+5 AL Flatbow (for pulling with henchies, and as a zero-e slot.)

I'm looking for a Bhron's Rod to replace the Yakslapper, and a -5e Flatbow. One of these days I'll get around to getting some blood recharge items for when I run a boon/pront build.

I have 2 heal set ups

#1
+5 energy ^50 rod with +15% blood recharge (being OOB healer)
+12 20/20 collectors ankh

#2
Wenslauss’ Faith staff

Brohns Staff

My Sets:

1) HoD Sword (20% Enchantment Mod) + Stoneheart
2) Bhron's Holy Rod + Stone Heart
3) HoD Sword (20% Enchantment Mod) + Collector Healing Anch (sp?) with the +27 Energy -1 Regen (I switch to this in emergency situations ONLY).

Healing set-up

1: Fiery Flame Spitter + 20% enchants, +12 20/20 Collectors ankh
2: +15/-1 regen wand + +27/-1 regen ankh

Prot Set-Up

1: Fiery Flame Spitter + 20% enchants (thinking of replaceing), Worths Icon

gordacs needle and 20/20 healing offhand.

Depends on nrg demand and healing requirments

gordac holy rod
Healing Ankh +27 Energy +30hp -1 Energy Regen

Or sometimes Wenslauss' Faith

>_>
Brohns Holy Rod and The Stoneheart or sometimes i switch to the Healing Ankh 20/20 from the desert collectors.
Brohns Staff for PVP for the hp boost since warriors like to smack me with their hammers and necros like to drain me =]
