Equipment

  • A -5 energy set+ Req7/8 shield
  • A 30/-2 energy set
  • 40/20 20% staff
  • 40/40 set
  • Various defensive sets with a Furious Spear of Fortitude +5e
  • Survivors Insignias
  • Protection Scalp Design

Usage

  • Use Reversal of Fortune on stronger spike attacks. For example Lightning Strike, Twisting Fangs, or Body Blow.
  • Use Guardian on allies being pressured by melee attackers or as a pre-prot against spikes you foresee.
  • Use Zealous Benediction to heal. Use on allies under 50% for maximum efficiency.
  • Use the staff to lengthen your enchantment spells.
  • Use the 40/40 set to reduce casting/recharge times.
  • Use Bonetti's Defense to reduce damage from spikes and to block physical attacks.

Variants

  • Spirit Bond or Protective Spirit for a large prot.
  • Remove Hex for a fast charging hex removal.
  • Balanced Stance - To counter knockdowns than can ruin the day; also prevents damage from physical characters by ignoring critical hits.
  • Shield Bash - Can be difficult to use, but is rewarding when it pays off.
  • Sprint - For a Monk that wants a speed boost (such as for a GvG team that is constantly splitting) while still having access to a defensive Warrior skill.
  • Dark Escape and/or Return in for Deny Hexes and Bonetti's, then you can replace Divine Spirit with Holy Veil.
