Other. It's hard, but you really need the healing.

Heal Other is sufficiently horrible, that I'd take distracting blow.

The mitigation provided by d-blow will be almost as efficient as Other.

This assumes that the opposing offense is caster-based. Not necessarily a good assumption in draft, given the limited skill selection. A warrior-based offense can work fine without skills, while a caster-based offense needs the right skills and synergies to be effective. You'll mostly likely end up using D-blow offensively against enemy monks.

It's not an easy choice, but you really need the extra heal at this point. Spamming Orison on recharge is all we have right now.

heal other is the best choice by far. beggars can't be choosers about what healing skills we end up with. shame to give up dblow and sunmoon though

Yeah, RoF has got to be the pick even though it hurts inside to pass on SS.

RoF. no questions asked. it'd hurt inside to pass on ss, but it'd hurt everywhere to pass on rof...

though i'm really curious what the previous picks were to pass up on rof, ss, clumsiness, rodgort's, and second wind. all 5 of those picks are solid and they'd better have something like eviscerate, cripshot, zb, and heal party (with an etherprod ele already) in the first 4 rounds to pass up these stuff...

Reversal.

Doesn't look like we have any hex removal yet so fingers crossed for some, esp. with some nasty hexes like SS going round.

Sort of a sparse pack, but I would go with Watch Yourself. Reliable AL bonus should be valued in an environment where most defenses (very much including the paper fort we are building ourselves) will be flimsy at best.
