Divine Boon

Description
While you maintain this Enchantment, whenever you cast a Monk Spell that targets an ally, that ally is healed for 25...61 points, and you lose 2 energy.

Acquisition
Skill Quests: Skill Trainers: Signet of Capture:
 * The Wayward Monk (Yak's Bend)
 * Firstwatch Sergio (Lion's Arch)
 * Dakk (Ember Light Camp)
 * ... more to be added ...

Usage Notes

 * You have to trigger this skill with monk skills that cost 5 energy or the maintenance cost is wasted. Use skills that cost 5 energy if you only have 5 energy and you will not lose 2 extra energy.


 * This Skill is the better the more energy regeneration you have and it is really vulnerable towards energy degeneration.


 * Divine Boon is the only maintained enchantment that has an energy cost of 5 and casts (almost) instantly. You can trigger it with itself nicely.


 * Skills that do not target a specific ally, such as Divine Healing, Heal Area, Heal Party, Martyr and Aegis, will not trigger a Divine Favor nor Divine Boon healing bonus, except for yourself (the caster).

Health per Energy

 * With Divine Boon and unchanged energy gain of 4 you can only cast 54% to 75% times as much skills that cost 5 energy, including Divine Boon, than without Divine Boon because of the maintenance cost, 5 energy every 15 seconds, and the extra cost of 2 energy per cast skill.
 * Divine boon itself simply has to fill this lack of healing that is 25% to 46% of the average healing of your used skills that cost 5 energy, including Divine Boon, to get the same healing per energy. (25% if you cast every time you have 5 energy so you never lose 2 energy, 46% if you always lose 2 energy.)
 * Of course recasting Divine Boon without divine boon being active drops this average healing per spell, therefore:


 * The efficiency (the amount of HP generated per point of energy spent) depends on the frequency of your spell usage. Because of the initial cost of 5, it furthermore depends on the length of time you keep the enchantment up:
