We are humans, we can compare anything. That's the boon of Truth's Curse. Noctarch 20:43, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

This skill is amazing and beats WoH imo, I dropped my WoH monk for the N/Rt build and haven't gone back. 99.246.25.11 02:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

You dropped a monk for a necro? Makes perfect sense! No. 151.213.188.151 04:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

YOU seem not to know either of his reasons to prefer a necromancer healer over a monk. Noctarch 10:04, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

thats why people run prot on there monk and not just healing because prot > healing in most cases Lilondra *gale* 13:48, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Even if you are right, necro healer > monk healer, so necro protter > monk protter. Paddymew 19:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Even if you are right, necro healer > monk healer, so ele protter > necro protter > monk protter. 59.100.118.70 22:02, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

As far as pve goes, rit protter > everything else. 74.243.163.157 02:15, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

aye, ele bonder > monk bonder, for other prot I'd say ritualists have it sorted. Ch8ese 21:37, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Necro energy management is teh h4xx, and it makes them for great hero healers, since heroes have terrible e-management problems. Once you get the monks going for real, though, you understand why they are specialists. It just takes a lot more work. Spirit Light is one the things that put rits on the fight as serious healers. Though Word of Healing comes to mind, restoration rits are hard pressed for healing elites. Monks also bring in a bit more utility with hex removal and, if determined, can easily outheal a restoration rit, as anyone that can think of, say, Unyielding Aura(PvE) or Healer's Boon might notice. Their greatest problem, in turn, being energy management, a thing rits are quite good at. I thin Spirit Light is but a necessity. Without SOMETHING with that kind of raw power, restoration would be usually too much less appealing than Healing Prayers - VileLasagna 23:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Heroes do not heal npcs

I run spirit light healers (and no monks), spirit light is never used on npcs which is extremely irritating when you have to keep npc's alive for instance in the final mission against Mallyx and you have to keep Zhellix alive while he does his 'ritual'. Woh is however used by heroes to heal npc's.--86.25.211.122 15:02, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

its probably the sacrifice that makes them hesitant to use it (even with spirits in range) -Chieftain Alex 15:45, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

They wont use it on VITAL npc's even with a ton of spirits in range? You sure you really want to be rationalizing like that? Exactly why I don't play with other players truth be told.--81.98.95.105 21:15, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Sacrifice Health

If another skill forces you to sacrifice health, you still sacrifice health from that skill with a spirit in earshot, but not the cost of the skill. For example using Masochism, you will still sacrifice the health from Masochism, but not the 17% cost. --Burmie (talk) 00:19, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Indeed. That is because the condition for health sacrifice of those two spells are independent of one another. Masochism always has a sacrifice cost upon casting a spell, whereas Spirit Light will not sacrifice health when within earshot of a spirit. Soldier198 (talk) 03:04, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
