Introduction
This guide is to help you use the very powerful Monk skill Mending. The extreme power of Mending over other self heals make it probably one of the best skills in Guild Wars.

The Skill
[Mending@16]

Take a look. Notice the power of it. At 16 Healing Prayers, it provides a powerful +4 Health Regeneration at 13 Healing Prayers. For this reason, it is favored by many people in the Guild Wars community. This, along with other skills, can unleash havoc on foes.

Common Skill Combinations
Despite Mending being powerful on its own, it can be used with other skills to make some of the best builds in Guild Wars. Here is a list:


 * is probably a favorite. Mending's long recharge time can become a problem if you encounter enchantment removal, you can use Echo to overcome this. Echo is mainly used on Mending Bonders, who are needed for all major farming teams.
 * is another great skill to accompany Mending. The double damage may seem bad, but Mending's tremendous +1...4 Health Regeneration easily overcomes this disadvantage. This way, you can have a constant 33% IAS and take massive damage.
 * is a great skill. Commonly found on Frenzy Mending Heal-Sig Warriors, this, along with Frenzy, can be great. Healing Signet's -40 armor is not a disadvantage, as even with Frenzy on you, Mending will overcome all damage.

Common Uses
Here's some builds to inspire you to find the power of Mending:
