Part Healway, part Altruistic, all monkey!!

So heya, I just came up with this build during a dull moment:

(copy pasta)

the big idea is to abuse self heals … a lot while also being able to heal allies a bit ( although less than Healway due to having significantly less access to regeneration ).

Smite condition is a 1960 ish heal on a 16 seconds cooldown ( that is before healing power, but healing power is on a 0.1 modifier, so meh )

Dodge rolls ( heal modifier of 1 ) heal for about 1.4k per roll. That’s a lot of healing with two non heal skills right there.

Two of the meditations remove/change conditions. This is always handy. Two meditations break stun, one even going as far as to double heal ( Monk’s Focus + healing from the meditation itself ).

Greatsword is always my weapon of choice, because greatsword. Off set is sword + torch.

Superior sigils of energy so that you always have that dodge heal around. Superior of life in the torch for extra healing punch.

As far as the healing skill goes, I currently put Healing Breeze to have a bit more team support capability. However, I believe it could be any of our three heals ( 4 if human, meh ).

Runes: I believe runes of the guardian would fit this best, but I’ll let more able theorycrafters be the judge of that

This build is still in it’s baby steps stage and might go over some iterations or even get thrown in the dumspter ( well, that’s a terrible turn of phrase ). However, I thought it had a glimpse of viability and I thought I’d share it

A build with it’s own theme tune! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mBk-WJ31BE

Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.
