{{archived-Build|date=00:42, 5 October 2007 (CEST)|reason1=Nerf to Angelic Bond and "They're on Fire!"|type1=general|category=good}}
 
{{TOCright}}
 
 
This build utilizes a similar theory to Monk [[gw:Bonder|Bonder]]s, but, instead of [[gw:Life Bond|Life Bond]] and [[gw:Life Barrier|Life Barrier]], the P/Mo Angelic Bonder utilizes the [[gw:Leadership skills|Leadership skills]], [[gw:"They're on Fire!"|"They're on Fire!"]] for initial damage reduction, and then further covers with [[gw:Angelic Bond|Angelic Bond]]. Allies are then further enhanced by [[gw:Command|Command]] skills. When used correctly, this build is capable of providing as much (or more) damage reduction than a bonder and unlike monk bonders, Angelic Bond cannot be removed which makes for more consistent reduction. This build is primarily intended for high-level PvE.

</pvxbig>
 
 
== Equipment ==
 
*Centurions Armor
 
*Several [[gw:Rune|Rune]]s of Attunement since this build necessitates a slightly larger energy pool.
 
*Use a Furious [[gw:Spear|Spear]] of Enchanting for its fast firing rate to charge GftE even faster and to extend SoA.
 
*Any [[gw:Shield|Shield]] will work, but the one from [[gw:Munashe|Munashe]] the Collector in Nundu Bay is particularly nice.
 
 
== Usage ==
 
*Cast [[gw:Balthazar's Spirit|Balthazar's Spirit]] and [[gw:Shield of Absorption|Shield of Absorption]] on yourself.
 
*[[gw:Blazing Finale|Blazing Finale]] on the tank(s) -> [[gw:"They're on Fire!"|"They're on Fire!"]] -> [[gw:"Stand Your Ground!"|"Stand Your Ground!"]]
 
*Use [[gw:Angelic Bond|Angelic Bond]] on the tank(s) and on others if necessary to supplement [[gw:"They're on Fire!"|"They're on Fire!"]].
 
*Use [[gw:"Go for the Eyes!"|"Go for the Eyes!"]] whenever possible to activate [[gw:Blazing Finale|Blazing Finale]]'s effect.
 
 
== Counters ==
 
*Spells which prevent [[gw:Chant|Chant]]s or [[gw:Shout|Shout]]s, in particular, [[gw:Vocal Minority|Vocal Minority]], [[gw:Ulcerous Lungs|Ulcerous Lungs]], [[gw:Roaring Winds|Roaring Winds]], and [[gw:Well of Silence|Well of Silence]].
 
*Massive condition removal
 
*Interruption of certain key skills
 
 
== Variants ==
 
*''Skills to Consider''
 
*:[[gw:"Never Give Up!"|"Never Give Up!"]]
 
*:[[gw:"Never Surrender!"|"Never Surrender!"]]
 
*:[[gw:"Fall Back!"|"Fall Back!"]]
 
*:[[gw:For Great Justice|For Great Justice]]
 
*:In areas where the party members you will most likely bond are likely to be taking huge amounts of damage, [[gw:Protective Spirit|Protective Spirit]] is an interesting alternative to [[gw:"Stand Your Ground!"|"Stand Your Ground!"]].
 
*::'''Here's why''': Protective Spirit activates first and ensures that the target doesn't take more than 10% damage. Then, ToF activates and cuts the >10% damage by 53% and you would receive only half of that. If you did that you would almost certainly receive no damage. That way, if anyone was taking a large amount of damage, you could slap Protective Spirit on them, and since you would have SoA on yourself as well, you would almost be ensuring that you always took 0 damage. This skill also makes it easier to bond casters since they are likely to take more damage. In PvP, Protective Spirit can also help ensure that when people you bond are spiked, you do not take an exorbitant amount of damage although unlike [[gw:"Stand Your Ground!"|"Stand Your Ground!"]] it can be removed.
 
*If Attribute Points are changed ([[gw:Motivation|Motivation]] replaces [[gw:Protection Prayers|Protection Prayers]]) [[gw:Shield of Absorption|Shield of Absorption]] can be replaced by [[gw:Finale of Restoration|Finale of Restoration]]
 
 
== Variant P/E ==
 
An alternative to a P/Mo is to use a P/E for more consistent damage reduction. In this case, the Paragon should [[gw:Earth Magic|Earth Magic]] rather than [[gw:Protection Prayers|Protection Prayers]] and use [[gw:Stoneflesh Aura|Stoneflesh Aura]] instead of [[gw:Shield of Absorption|Shield of Absorption]]. Since this also means that the Paragon no longer has access to [[gw:Balthazar's Spirit|Balthazar's Spirit]] which is necessary to spam GftE, an IAS like [[gw:Aggressive Refrain|Aggressive Refrain]] should replace Balthazar's Spirit.
 
 
== Notes ==
 
Works well when combined with a Monk using [[gw:Protective Spirit|Protective Spirit]] or [[gw:Healing Seed|Healing Seed]].
