Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=mo/me healing=12+1+1 divin=10+1 insp=8][inspired enchantment][revealed enchantment][dwayna's sorrow][Heal other][optional][pacifism][mark of protection][ether lord][/build] Optional 1:

[[Power Drain@8] for hex removals and energy management
[[Draw Conditions@2] for use with an RC prot
[[Spotless Mind@14] for more hex removal
[[Auspicious Incantation@8] for energy management(this makes you an easy target for interrupters, so watch out)

</pvxbig>

Equipment

Survivor's or Radiant Insignias.
A + 5 Energy/+ 30 HP Spear with a selection of shields, one for each damage type.
A 40/40 (Healing) Wand/Focus set
High / Low Energy sets

Usage

Use Mark of Protection on recharge!
Heal Other and Dwayna's Sorrow are your primary healing skills.
Use Infuse Health to catch spikes or heal very low targets.
Use Heal Party for a powerful party-wide heal. This must be used sparingly though, for its high energy cost will quickly drain your energy pool.
Use Draw Conditions to pull conditions off your RC or to get blind off frontliners
Use Spotless Mind to remove hexes from party members

Counters

Enchant removal can be a minor problem, but this is not a significant issue as Healer's Boon only has a 10 second recharge timer.
Standard caster counters, Diversion, VoR etc.
Unlike many monk builds, this build will be practically invulnerable to interrupts. HB will cause most skills to have a casting time of .5 seconds or less. Heal Party will have a cast time of 1 second, which may pose a problem if a Migraine mesmer camps on the monk, but this should not be a MAJOR problem.

Variants

Mantra of Flame to abuse the likelyhood of facing elementalists in HA.
Healing Seed for Draw Conditions
Cure Hex or Holy Veil instead of Spotless Mind
Heal Other instead of Infuse if playing as a secondary healer
Hex Breaker
