Does aura of faith trigger divine boon?Dr Rawr 15:24, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Tested, AoF doesn't trigger DB, which brings initial heal down by ~90
I am pretty sure it did when I tested it when it go buffed. --Frosty Mc Admin 15:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
I tested this just now. With Divine Boon up Aura of Faith alone heals for 57+87 health. Dismiss Conditions when under Aura of Faith heals for 110+129+87 health. Total 450 health. Selket Shadowdancer 16:24, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Gonna be honest here though and say with such a high investment in Protection Prayers it's kind of a crime to not bring Aegis in PvE. Selket Shadowdancer 16:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
At the bottom it suggests swapping out SoA for Aegis, and also many ppl just have aegis on necros now tbh. Kracatoan 16:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Zealous Benediction comes to mind since it would have a net cost of only 1 energy and heal more than most WoH's. Shield guardian just might be worth it since it will benefit from boon and SS. Freshly buffed seed of life might be a good idea too with such high divine favor and you'll have an enchanting mod. 66.41.46.226 06:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Get rid of Aura of Faith kthnx. Life Guardian 06:35, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
ZB is redbarring and clumsy, that's not what prot monks are for. Prot monks are for mitigating a hell of a lot of damage using skills which must be cast before battle, also with WoH and ZB, they both have special effects when your target is <50% health, if you're in HM and your target is under 50% then they will probably be killed before you can use a slow casting ZB or WoH, it is much better to use a 1/4 second AoF or RoF instead. Humans prot, heroes redbar, simple as. Seed of Life is a waste tbh, although you get an enormous heal for your entire party in one go, it is normally wastes seeing as the only time when Seed of Life is useful is when one target is being battered by melee so you can just SoA the damage away, the only situation in which you would need Seed of Life would be when everyone is taking damage i.e when you are under attack from Casters, in which case Seed of Life wouldn't be activated very often. Aegis is worth the 20s recharge, Seed of Life is not. ABout shield guardian, you only really want to use 10e(7e) skills if they will last/heal for a while, a single hit heal like Shield GUardian is an enormous waste of energy. Oh and Life Guardian, why do you hate AoF so much?Kracatoan 06:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
"if you're in HM and your target is under 50% then they will probably be killed before you can use a slow casting ZB or WoH" Do you play hard mode with Leeroy Jenkins or something? Oh, and aegis has a 30 second recharge.66.41.46.226 07:03, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Even if Aegis is 30s, it is still superior to Shield Guardian. Oh and in HM stuff loves to go and attack your squishies and deal 300s with normal attacks, in this situation a quick prot is far better than a slow heal. Stuff in HM attacks the stuff with the lowest amount of health and no amount of WoH-ing or ZB-ing will save them. In fact I would prefer to play with Leeroy Jenkins seeing as I could easily pour prot onto him and let him tank. Kracatoan 07:11, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
He thinks AoF is for stopping spikes, but i never seen someone would use it. There was some users, but that was just a hype of the new skill. AoF is awesome. Simply AoF+Dismiss will heal 480 hp. Counting Divine Favor on first cast and 2nd + AoF Bonus on Dismiss with Divine Boon.Perfect for 6man HM. But i think Reverse Hex would be energy killer. And if you really want to bring Hex remove then bring Remove Hex or something. Also i would take Spirit bond. It stacks with AoF, you will see 200 hp Spirit bond heals then =o. Also ZB is bad. Most groups take 2 monks and you will lose a lot energy. ~Enar. hello. 08:03, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Also switching to Prot 12+1(+1/+2) and Divine 12+1 is better since. AoF % give you more heal than Divine Boon with Divine Favor points. But that's just opinion. ~Enar. hello. 08:18, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
I totally agree with you Enar, thing is last time I put a build like this on PvX people QQ-ed about using Spirit Bond instead of Protective Spirit, and Holy Veil as a hex removal. Kracatoan 08:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

let me direct you to: Unyielding Aura--Relyk 08:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Your point being? Kracatoan 08:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Are you going to resurrect masses of people or you go pve to die?. UA doesn't work with Divine boon tho - losing -2Energy Regen, and +54% more heal ain't worth to bring it. And don't try to blame it to PuG-s, they don't die, they just get distracted by other stuff like butterflies. Kracatoan vote already. .Enar. 08:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
regardless aura of faith is bad, pick another skill--Relyk 09:03, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
The odd thing is, people just say 'Aura of Faith' is bad and then don't explain themselves! Please can someone bring some logic into their mad ravings! Oh and even if you hate AoF you can use another elite in this, learn to read. Kracatoan 09:07, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
it's same if i say Relyk is bad for no reason. .Enar. 09:18, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Invalid point is invalid, relyk is sorta bad. Life Guardian 09:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

This is what i hate about pvx. If it's tagged for pve and dosen't include powerheals, it's bad. (ZB wtf?!) Just because AoF requires skill to use (yes, not just redbar. leave that to the heroes) it is bad by definition. AoF is awesome. PVX-Squirrel 17:32, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

If you look at the votes you can see people agree with you, it has a 5.00 rating--Tyrael-- 11:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Can someone rate this so it can be placed into Great section please...--Tyrael-- 21:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

How do half the monk builds here get good ratings when I simply mention a big heal and everybody rages? 66.41.46.226 00:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Good point but its time a prot build got great rating, don't you think?--Tyrael-- 01:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
No, It's not a good point...buffs change the game around, making things viable and/or effective. I just wish you could fit seed somewhere in there...--Ikimono"My beard is thick."Monk-Paragon-icon 03:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Zealous Benediction is so much better. AoF is quite obsolete with protective spirit anyway, unless you are that terrible a monk to prot the wrong target, which by then you should just /ragequit. Lightningbolt siguɐɟɐʞıd o^_^o¸«` 03:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


Guardian Zealous Benediction Dismiss Condition Protective Spirit Shield of Absorption Reverse Hex Divine Boon Selfless Spirit


Guardian can be swapped out for Aegis, but I like Guardian better because it's honestly not hard to see a big bad monster running towards someone and pressing a button to prot that someone. Lightningbolt siguɐɟɐʞıd o^_^o¸«` 04:01, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

lol free heals. Zyke-Sig 04:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Tbh, stuff doesn't attack only one person at a time, if it did GW would be even easier than it is. In HM, you can PS one target and then go on to prot up another while your HB deals with the PS-ed target. Oh and @ Piki, the point in the optionals is you can change your build depending on the nature of the area you are going into, not just to spam elites. I put ZB there is you really want it, but it just isn't as good as other elites. Kracatoan 07:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Because that is why you have small prots like SoA and Guardian. They are non-elite, and so much better than AoF. Getting mobbed? Hey, let's be smart and slap SoA on him so he doesn't die. Getting pwned by casters? Why, here's protective spirit! Health dropping too low? ZB and his health shoots all the way up, not waste 1 second more trying to get the retarded 2 skill chain off. Anyone with a brain can tell you casting one skill to bring a person's health up is so much better than casting two, which so unfortunately, you are not one of those "anyone".
Just stop being bad, learn how to preprot and you will find how bad AoF is because nobody drops low enough for you to waste an elite and a half on to catch a spike. Lightningbolt siguɐɟɐʞıd o^_^o¸«` 10:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Merge

If this is going to be the general build to cover all Boon Prot builds then I suggest removing slots 2, 3, and 6 from the main bar and making them optional which is covered under the skill template. Though if you have Life Sheath you won't need RoF either. Selket Shadowdancer 08:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I second, and why is Aegis not mainbarred? Zyke-Sig 08:11, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
There we go, its changed. Also, lol at how if 5 people love a build and 2 hate it, PvX says it is not-favoured by the 'community'. Kracatoan 08:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Got to love the freedom of your own opinion. Selket Shadowdancer 08:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
You should blame math, not PvX. Zyke-Sig 08:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
lol at how the 5 people who like it are random whorus that no one has ever heard of. Socks maybe? Life Guardian 08:43, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
