How do monks heal themselves mid-fight and which potions are they supposed to use without wasting too much gold?

Question

i'm a level 200 Monk and I was wondering if im utilizing my healing spells/spenders/potions efficiently, would love your input :)

Answer 1

First, I recommend having at least one life leech imbuement. Second, attack consistently to help maintain your health. Third, if you're taking a lot of damage, don't try to block the creatures, just kite.

The type of pot you use will depend on the location you're hunting. In some locations, you'll be able to hunt comfortably using mainly Great Mana Potions; in others, you'll need to use Great Spirit Potions. In emergency situations or more dangerous hunts, you should use Ultimate Spirit Potions. I like to always carry all three types of potions, but obviously, the amount of each type will depend on the respawn you're hunting. If you're trying to hunt with Great Mana Potions and find yourself having a hard time maintaining your health, it's a sign you should probably be hunting with Great Spirit Potions (or even Ultimates) in that location.

And of course, you also have the option of hunting with the Virtue of Sustain, if that's more comfortable for you.

Answer 2

Just as a complement of the answer of Raven,

In the attack consistently, don't forget your auto-attacks, they represent some percent of the damage you do in a hunt, so, even if you only attack one mob, don't loose that leech.

Also would like to give a little tip with mana management, add exura gran to your healing roaster, for times you don't need to heal a lot.

Remember to attack first and then heal, the passive of the monk of healing when generating and spending harmony, so its easier to know if you really need to use a healing spell after you have the leech + passive healing.
