This build is supposed to rapidly heal allies using cheap, spammable spells while preserving energy.

Equipment
Ascetic's Armor for the extra energy.

Healing Prayer Headpiece.

Optionally, get the best Vigor Rune you can get for suvivability, but it's not important.

Wenslauss' Faith quickens healing further and is cheap. Or, you can use the Healing Rod or weapon with equivalent stats available from Weaponsmith Sheco in Bukdek Byway if you have access to factions.

Under no circumstances should you bring a weapon or offhand that increases the length of enchantments such as a Totem Axe as this will prolong Mantra of Recall.

Usage
Stay back and don't even bother attacking, just heal from the sidelines.

Cast Divine Boon, followed by Mantra of Recall. When Mantra of Recall finishes, cast it again. It is essential to recast it for energy, or you will have problems in longer battles!

Healing Touch is a very powerful self-healing skill, but it can be used to heal allies in very close proximity.

Spam Orison of Healing and when an ally is under conditional degen such as bleeding, use Healing Breeze.

When an ally is hexed use Inspired Hex to remove it.

Remember that Divine Boon takes an additional 2 energy for each time you heal but an Orison of Healing can heal for over 150 points of damage for just 7 energy total near instantly.

Counters
Interrupting the monk using knockdown or something of the like will leave him defenseless.

Stripping all enchantments, followed quickly by energy denial like Ether Feast.

Variants
You have a choice of what relatively fast casting healing spells you want. Healing Breeze can be replaced by Ethereal Light. If you swapped out or don't have Mantra of Recall, Word of Healing is the best possible choice. As long as it heals, gets the benefit of Divine Boon, and can be cast quickly, it can be used.

Replacing Mantra of Recall is advised against, but since it can only be found in Glint's Lair, using a skill like Ether Lord to counteract low energy after heavy casting can be useful.

If you want to try this in PvP, switch out Rebirth for a Resurrection Signet and possibly remove Energy Tap for another move, such as Channeling.
