[edit] Attribute and Skills

Monk / Mesmer	Attribute Rank
Divine Favor	9 + 1
Healing Prayers	12 + 1 + 3
Inspiration Magic	9

[edit] Equipment

For a wand, use one with a recharge increase for any skill, such as Gordac's Holy Rod. The same with a held item, use one with a recharge increase for any skill, such as Vokur's Chakram.
Go with the Ascetic's Armor.

[edit] Usage

The Inspirational Healer is very efficient in its energy management abilities.

Cast Mantra of Resolve as soon as you start.
When you get down to half energy, cast Energy Tap.
If you're nearing empty, cast Energy Drain for a quick boost.
- In PvE, use the target closest enemy button so you don't pull adds.

Note: Energy gain depends on the target's energy.

[edit] Advantages

Effective in Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings.
Cannot be shattered as Mantra of Recall
Does not drain 20% of your health as Offering of Blood does.
This can counter a mesmer's Shame.

[edit] Weaknesses

Requires you to engage a target, Only useful in-battle.
The party could kill the target during the activation of Energy Tap.
Energy Drain and Energy Tap are not effective against foes who are low on energy, meaning this build is not suitable when used with an energy denial ally.
Not as an effective a healer as a full healing monk.
