Equipment

• A +5e PvP axe of Fortitude (or closest PvE variant} and a Protective Icon with +30 Health Focus Core and "Forget Me Not" Inscription.
• Any staff with +10 armor and 20/20 Recharge/Casting Time Protection Prayers
• A 15%/-5e axe or sword with a +20% Enchanting mod and a offhand or shield with +30 health. (Note: if using an offhand, be sure to not have the required attributes for it, and equip it with a "Ignorance is Bliss" inscription)
• A +15/-1 wand and a +27/-1 offhand for emergency energy.

Usage

Start out by using Channeling and Hex Breaker, it will provide you with a steady amount of energy, while Hex Breaker will make the first hex cast upon you fail. Your main job is to protect your allies while being able to heal them if neccessary with Zealous Benediction. Zealous Benediction is a powerful elite that heals for the same amount as Heal Other or Jamai's Gaze, the only difference is that it is a free heal if the target is under 50% health and it comes out of the protection line. Make use of Protective Spirit to help prevent against spike damage.

Counters

• Daze/Interuption - Same counters all monks face, but if you dont bring a condition removal, daze will be even more deadly.
• Lots of Pressure - This build was designed to protect against damage, and heal when needed, but a lot of pressure will hurt because you only have 1 healing skill.
• Overextension - Tell other members in your team to try and stay somewhat close together.

Variants

• Dismiss Condition can be replaced with Mend Condition or Mend Ailment.
• Shield of Absorption can also fill one of the Optional Slots as it synergizes with Protective Spirit very nicely
• Inspired Hex or Revealed Hex can replace Holy Veil if you find energy to be a problem.

Notes

This build is designed for Heroes Ascent and GvG, but can easily be adapted for PvE gameplay.
