Talk:Zealous Benediction

I can't seem to heal myself with it. Seems to me the description is wrong, and it's target other ally. --70.50.22.32 00:09, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Smashes Word of Healing. I think. Kessel 10:57, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Its prot linked tho &mdash; Skuld 11:00, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Free though. I could imagine this in a BL-style build. Kessel 11:41, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * yeah skuld but the prot thing makes it GOOD. INSANE in TA/ra.  Worthless in 8 vs 8 tho unless you're the only healer lol.  There's just better elites that are less restricting.  its annoying when you lose 10 energy cause one of your other 2 healers overlaps.

Is it just me or does this seem a little cheap? Its WoH, but if they're below 50% its free and if their above 50% it still heals for alot. True its prot prayers but then you could be a full prot and take this as your main heal.
 * Yeah, I have a dervish build all prot/mysticism with this elite. I got a 10 in a row all flawless. Yep, no deaths at all. (Not a fifty five 21:03, 24 September 2006 (CDT))


 * It's not really WoH as much as it is an elite Heal Other. It costs the same, casts in the same time and recharges in one extra second.--Kiiron 00:41, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * An elite Heal Other that has a good chance of being free and is in the protection line. 24.11.175.161 21:46, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * actually is one of few (if any) protection prayers that actually heals directly. --Life Infusion 19:34, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
 * No, no, it's exactly ONE POINT of healing worse than Heal Other. :) Shido 08:47, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

Which makes one wonder why they put it in the protection skill set when it has nothing to do with protection and everything to do with healing :)
 * Probably just so that the prot line has some sort of straight healing, making pure prot monks that much more effective. --Theonemephisto 14:42, 30 September 2006 (CDT)
 * A lot of prot monks are already running Gift of Health. I think this would be a worthy addition to their arsenal. Kessel 12:04, 11 October 2006 (CDT)

Divine Spirit + Zealous Benediction anyone? If used enough, you can actually gain a lot of energy. If you have an enchanting mod, like any good Protection monk should, you can keep Divine Spirit up for a good amount of time. --Curse You 21:37, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Or divine boon :) However, we need to test something. When I tried this boon benediction, it seemed that it counted the divine healing BEFORE the bendeiction, so it only healed when target was > like 30% which sucked. (Not a fifty five 14:00, 15 October 2006 (CDT))
 * yep, same problem that cripples WoH. But you can get around that. Symbiosis and life bond is a good start. And that ranger with symbiosis? Give them QZ, too. Add another monk/me built similarly however with essence bond and perhaps that new 5e heal party equivalent and you've got yourself a pretty unkillable party. QZ cut recharge on the blessed signets so energy's not a problem for them either. Phool 12:27, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

Strange this is under Protection Prayers...
 * Strange that healing hands and healing seed are in healing prayers imo.

A boss in the crossroads mission has this, near the NE corner. --Fyren 22:24, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

Note on AI use - both heroes and enemies are not capable of using ZB on themselves of their own volition. While on the topic, I've noticed heroes appear to anticipate damage and starting casting when target is around 55-65% health which may result in wasted energy if the damage is due to saccing. Phool 15:10, 1 December 2006 (CST)

This is actually quite a hard spell to use. You try to avoid the spell at all costs until you think your target is at <50% health. But at this point its normally due to you being out of energy anyway and can't aford the 10 energy requirement. I would prefer to see this at 5 energy with less healing since the skill isnt used as much as elites should be. Maybe this is just me with this problem? --SK  15:59, 5 December 2006 (CST)


 * Where are you monking at? Bring channleing. Don't overheal. If you depend soley on your elite for energy its not going to be easy to play but Mantra Boon Prot. --67.172.10.82 21:33, 5 December 2006 (CST)
