Default Long time since monking...

Alright, so I have not played gw for over 15 months and it looks like there have been some good buffs to some monk skills.

I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some good builds for RA and TA. The ones I have don't work as well as I would like.

Lastly, I prefer protection but can go many ways.

PS: If you have a build using [Shield of Deflection] ... please share .

I posted here because there would be more responses and I can discuss possible builds.

Meta?

Still you can make plenty of passable bars in RA. Monks can get away with all sorts of elites thanks to [Patient Spirit]. Prot magic has just been on the down since 1) healing has been buffed quite a bit, and 2) necros have been buffed to be very strong arena characters, who among other things can cheaply [rip enchantment] enchantments every 10s.

My not-amazing but playable SoD build

[build prof=Mo/E pro=12+1+1 hea=10+1 div=8+1][Patient Spirit][Shield of Deflection][Dismiss Condition][Shield of Absorption][Spirit Bond][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Cure Hex][No Skill][/build]

Optional could be [Holy Veil] or [Remove Hex] (in addition or in place of cure), [Vigorous Spirit], [Dwayna's Kiss], or drop dismiss for [Draw Conditions][Mending Touch] combo.
Or you could be brave and drop glyph for another secondary, but good luck with the energy then.

This is my new favorite ByoB/AB build which is not all that different

[build prof=Mo/R pro=12+1+1 div=10+1 wil=8][Reversal of Fortune][Zealous Benediction][Guardian][Draw Conditions][Mending Touch][Spirit Bond][Holy Veil][Natural Stride][/build]

Mostly because NS compression is the only way I can fit a block and speed buff in with draw/mend/SB. Manly monks will run [Distracting Shot] instead of or in addition to this.
