Welcome to the Monk Research Page for the Complete Guide to Monks! Here is where all the math comes from, and all the big questions about monks. Warning, lots of math.

Reversal of Fortune vs Orison of Healing
TBA

Glimmer of Light vs Word of Healing
This is to find out the effiency of both Word of healing and Glimmer of light to see which is the better healing elite. All of these numbers are 16 healing prayers.

Glimmer of Light
Cost: 5 energy

Heals for: 122

Heal per energy spent: 24.4 health

Word of Healing
Cost: 5 Energy

Heals for: 138 + 106

Heal per energy spent if above 50%: 27.6

Heal per energy spent if below 50%: 48.8

Ok so with that information we know that word of healing will always be a more cost efficient spell if you use it just once. If you use it on someone with less than 50% health it is exactly twice as effective as Glimmer of Light.

Now what if you spam it?

Glimmer of Light
Time spent spamming skill 5 times: 1/4+3/4 = 1 per cast x 5 = 5 seconds to heal five times.

Heals total: 122 x 5 = 610 health

Energy spent: 25 energy - time spent casting = 1.33 x 5 = 6.65 = 25 - 6.65 = 19.35 energy

Effiency:
