Equipment
- Protection staff with 20% enchant mod, dual 20% fast cast chance, and 20% fast recharge
- High Energy set
- Defense Set (spear/sword/axe with +health or armor and a Shield)
- 4th weapon set doesn't matter too much, play around with it and come up with something you like best (15>50 wand + protection offhand item is good, some may prefer a +5 energy weapon + protection offhand item or a second kind of defensive set)
Usage
- Use Restore Condition on allies to get rid of conditions and provide a huge health boost.

- Use Shield of Absorption to relieve pressure from teammates who are going to take damage from many different sources.
- Use Guardian to protect against physical characters.
- Use Aura of Stability to prevent knockdowns on teammates.
- Use Reversal of Fortune as "heal".
- Use Holy Veil to pre-prot and get rid of hexes.
- Maintain Hexbreaker on yourself to avoid hexes.
Counters
- Shutting down Restore Condition hurts a lot.
- Heavy hex pressure - this build can not push bars up very well.
Variants
- Dismiss Condition to give the character a direct heal and self-removal.
- Remove Hex instead of Holy Veil (or as extra removal).
- Aegis
- Drain Enchantment for energy management.
