User:Seraphim of Nemesis/Monk Builds

Healing Monk
My main build for monk, designed for use with Divine Healing and Healing Prayer's to provide large heals quickly along with regenerations.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Mo/? name="Healing Monk" hea=12+1+3 div=12+1][Word of Healing][Patient Spirit][Dwayna's Kiss][Healing Breeze][Healing Seed][Heal Party][Vigorous Spirit][Rebirth][/build]

Equipment

 * All pieces of armor should have Radiant Insignia's.
 * Scalp should be Healing Prayers with a Superior Rune of Healing Prayers.
 * All other pieces other than scalp should include Atunement as well as an option Vigor.

Usage

 * Vigorous Spirit should be used before and during combat on party members that frequently loose health. Helps most to put on tanks, and casters that you know will be hit for small and large amount of damage.
 * Healing Seed is placed on any main tank, or player you believe will be adjacent to other group members. This chains a great heal on that ally and all others next to them.
 * Use Healing Breeze as a way to maintain allies health above the 80 or so percentile.
 * Patient Spirit should be used on allies with around half health or slightly higher, be sure to chain Dwayna's Kiss after use for a large dual heal. Very effective chain for a low cost large heal.
 * Word of Healing is your last chance heal. Usually best to save this skill when an ally is near death, or below 50% health. When used, can usually fully heal an ally with low maximum health, and can bring up any other ally very much past 75% health.

Variants

 * Really only subbing out Patient Spirit for Watchful Healing or Words of Comfort. The first adds regeneration, and if taken off via enchantment rips, heals moderately. The latter functions in the same manner as Dwayna's Kiss except applying more healing power to allies affected by condition's.

Counters

 * Quick Spikes or anything that makes it over burdening on the healer.
 * interruptions used commonly by mesmers, as well as the dazed condition.

Protection Monk

 * Just a build based for personal use with Protection Prayers.
