Suggested change:

Word of Healing Word of Healing 5 Energy¾ Activation time4 Recharge time- "Heal target ally for 5...69...85 Health. Heal for an additional 30...98...115 Health if that ally is below 50% Health."


Word of Healing is without a doubt the best Monk healing elite available. Low recharge with a very large heal. The suggested change is very minor, bringing it closer to what it used to be before the ridiculous buff in late 2007. The suggested change adjusted both heals down 15 from previous. The conditional heal is still larger which punishes the user just a slight amount more for using the heal before the target hits 50%. The main reason is to bring it in line with other Healing Elites like my suggested changes to Light of Deliverance and Healing Burst, which I have receiving minor buffs for. Offering a good set of three elites for single target, party, and hybrid.

Major note: Toning down healing too much could lead to 3 monk backlines (which is the last thing we want) UNLESS excessive damage sources are also dealt with. Primal, Flail, Enraging, heavy midline damage from MoI, Mind Blast, BSurge, VoR and other mindless hexes are just a few things that need to be scaled back.
