Issue
Doesn't heal enough (96 on 14 Healing attribute ranks) to be worth the energy compared to Word of Healing
slow cast time for an elite heal
Suggestion
increase heal from 40...88...100 to 30...102...120 (to increase reward for the 1 cast time risk)

Issue
Basically this skill is an alternative to WoH's single target pressure healing. However it currently isn't viable, simply because it isn't good enough :at pushing the bars upwards. Not to mention that this skill's useability is dependant on teambuild, where WoH is dependant on amount of health.
Suggestion
Increase energy gained to 1..4, decrease recharge to 3 seconds, Hexes trigger energy gain too.
Consider it an elite version of Dwayna's Kiss.
Changed functionality: "Target ally is healed for 40...100. If target ally is enchanted you gain 2 energy and target ally loses 0..3 Conditions."
Sort of a combination of Restore Condition and Word. A decent heal with the ability to take down (small) condition stacks, assuming the target is
enchanted.

Issue
Healing Negligible compared to other healing prayers spells, Energy management not worth wasting an elite slot on it.
Suggestion
Increase heal from 40...88...100 to 30...102...120 or make it a "nearby" range, gaining 2 energy for each ally healed with an enchantment. Alternatively, put in a hex or condition removal effect, such as : Remove 1 hex from target ally. If target ally is enchanted, that ally is healed for 40...88...100 and loses 1 condition. For each hex or condition removed, you gain 2 energy. Increase recharge to 8 seconds?

New idea

Issue
This skill is weak.
Suggestion
Increase healing to 30...114...138, decrease cast to 3/4s. Add "Healing from this ignores all healing reductions". This would make it actually useful against deep wound.



Lancy’s Proposal

Issue
-Weak elite, healing is too small
-Needs an aggressive buff to compete with Word of Healing
-Healing prayers lacks party healing (exceptions are Heal Party and Karei's Healing Circle...both of which are rarely used on a monk primary)
Suggestion
-Makes the skill a pro-active method of healing the party
-See Deathly Swarm or Chain Lightning for notes

5 Energy¼ Activation time5 Recharge time - (Healing Prayers) - Elite Enchantment Spell. "Target ally is enchanted for 2 seconds. When Healing Light ends, that ally is healed for 15...103...125 Health and jumps to nearest injured ally, healing them for 15...83...100 Health. Healing Light can only jump 0...2...2 times." Only one copy of this spell may be active at a time.

Pika Fan's Issue --Pika Fan 03:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Issue
-There are better red-bar elites such as Word of healing that are more energy efficient.
Suggeston
-Make it a energy-efficient elite comparable to Zealous Benediction/Heal Other/Jamei's Gaze

10 Energy¾ Activation time4 Recharge time - Healing Prayers - Elite Spell. Heal target ally for 30...150...180 health. For each enchantment or hex on target ally, gain 1 energy (maximum 1...6...7 energy). --Pika Fan 03:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Darth's Idea Darth The X 20:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Issue
Doesn't heal for enough and gives too small of an energy amount. When compared with Soothing Memories Soothing Memories at 15 points Soothing Memories heals for the same, has a faster cast time, refunds the same amount of energy but requires an Item Spell instead of an Enchantment. Soothing Memories is not elite and out does this Elite Skill.
Suggestion
Change Functionality to Healing Light Healing Light

5 Energy½ Activation time3 Recharge time. Heal target ally for 30...122...145. If target ally is under the effects of an Enchantment or Hex you gain 1...3...4 energy.

Justice's Idea

issue
A healing skill with energy management that costs more energy to setup then just using any other healing skill.
Suggestion
Healing Light Healing Light
Elite Maintain Enchant

5 Energy¼ Activation time5 Recharge time

While you maintain this enchant on target other ally, that ally and you both gain 5...21...25 health whenever they attack or use a skill.
Reason
Live Vicariously is a great idea of a skill that falls short, and most would agree that Vigorous Spirit is awesome. Combine them but keep it as a maintain enchant to prevent team wide spamming and preserve the idea of chosing the best possible target to assist keeping you and them alive. Cheap cost, quick cast and low recharge are to promote a more active role then just a typical maintain and forget. Change ally if one has broken off from party to do something else or has to carry a bundle item or just plain ran outa energy themselves to use skills!

Another Idea

issue
Healing is too little, casting time undesireable when compared to other healing elite skills
suggestion
Heal target ally for 40...88...100. This spell has double the divine favor bonus, and if target ally is under a hex or enchantment, you gain 3 energy.

Leeloof Esp's Idea

issue
Underpowered compared to other Monk Elites.
suggestion

5 Energy1 Activation time4 Recharge time

Elite Spell. Heal target ally for 40...88...100 Health. If your target has an Enchantment, both of you gain 1...3...3 Energy.
