Variants

• Heal Party can replace Divine Healing and Heaven's Delight (also not advised).
• Other PvE skills of choice.

Equipment

• 40/40 Heal set.
• 40/20/20% Div/Prot staff.
• Players using either build should have a Superior Divine Favor headpiece when casting Unyielding Aura. Swap out after casting for more health while retaining a more powerful Unyielding Aura.

Usage

• The HB monk should cast Arcane Mimicry on the UA monk and maintain the copied UA.
• Heal + Prot as usual, take note of the increased healing power of your spells to prevent overhealing.
• The UA Prot should handle resurrection. The HB should only dismiss UA to resurrect the prot.

Counters

• Enchantment removals can limit the effectiveness of the HB monk, since Arcane Mimicry has a long recharge. Always cover UA with HB(applies for the HB monk of course.)
• Both monks are running on only +3 base energy regeneration. E-Denial can be severely crippling.

Notes

• To calculate the what the HB build heals if you cast UA at 14 Divine Favor, just multiply what the spell originally says it heals for by 2.355, round to the nearest whole number, then add 35 for divine favor. Example, Ethereal Light at 14 heal prayers says it heals for 95, so 95x2.355=224. i.e. 224+35 for Divine Favor in 1/2 a second for 5 energy.
