The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page. This build has been designed for the following use: |
The Stanced Diverter is a ta build that's mainly focusing on one thing: countering hex pressures. Since most of the teams are hex teams, this build is a big counter against it, using the monk elite Divert Hexes. Therefore, this monk has a good survivablity and healing power even without using it's elite against for example pressure builds. This build isn't an easy build, it's not recommended for players who are new in monking since it's energy managmenent isn't very good.

Usage
- Use Reversal of Fortune for a migriting heal, for example, against the high damage of a dervish or against a spike.
- Use Dismiss Condition to remove harmfull conditions(blind, uncovered daze, ect.)
- Use Shielding Hands to counter stacking damage(for example, 2 thumpers that keep bashing on a target).
- Use Spirit Bond to catch spikes(in the arena's mainly adrenaline or sin spikes).
- Use Divert Hexes to remove harmfull hexes and heal against degen.
- Use Gift of Health for a unconditional heal.

Counters
- Covered Daze. Once it's on you it will be too hard removing it if you don't run mending touch.
- Signet of Humility with a hex pressure(note, this is usually the case). If you got any interupts you must scream to get it interupted, or you're be lying on the ground quite fast.
- Diversion/Shame.
Notes
- This build isn't recommended for ra, but you can try it sometimes. The thing that this build is ta-only, is that it's good against hexways, which are very common in ta, and totally not in ra.
