Suggestions for this bonding build
It seems to work pretty well for me in CA and TA, I just wanted to put it up there for suggestions
Life Bond Divine Boon Balthazar's Spirit Healing Breeze (+9 regen) Healing Touch Distortion Blessed Sig Peace and Harmond {e} How I use it: Life Bond on everyone then Divine Boon and Balthazar's Spirit on myself. I pretty much kite the whole match and use Healing breeze to heal my party and touch if they get critical. If I ever need to stop for self heals i use this spell casting order: Distortion: fends off warriors Healing Breeze: heals Blessed Sig: energy I never have a problem with energy management because it of whenever anyone in my party is hit balthazars spirit gives me energy and because of peace and harmony i have no energy degeneration (but no regen either) |

Peace and Harmony is fairly horrible for energy management. It will probably just be removed from you by any competant team, and it has a 45 second recharge which leaves you hanging for a long time.
Distortion is very nice on a monk. I would strongly suggest that if you go mesmer secondary, you take Mantra of Inscriptions to help fuel your Blessed Sig amd give you a bit more energy. With this, you shouldn't need Peace and Harmony, which I would drop for Word of Healing. Word gives you cheap spammable large heals, which might work better. Not entirely sure how the attributes will work out, but it might be worth a try. |

Ok so how about dropping P&H for one of these:
Life Barrier {e} Mending (+4) Inspire Hex Vital Blessing Live Vicariously Im not sure about Mantra of Inscriptions because energy is never a problem and Distortion and Mantra of Inscriptions will cancel eachother both of them are Stances or do you think WoH will be best? |

Since you don't have a problem with energy management, I would recommend replacing Peace and Harmony with an elite that would be of more use.
I myself prefer Shield of Regeneration with my Life Bond monk, simply because I can slap that on and pretty much forget about healing on that target for the spell's length. Shield of Deflection may also be a good choice. But hey, it's up to you. |

with SO many warriors in random arenas it is foolish to not take something to counteract them. Here's what I normally run in random and it consistently gets me 10+ win streaks.
16 prot 13 divine (lowering prot doesnt have much impact, so you may be able to get away with 16 divine, 13 prot, but ive never tried it) 20/20 Insightful Staff of Enchanting (or defense) 1. Life Bond 2. Blessed Signet 3. Balthazar's Spirit 4. Shield of Deflection 5. Reversal of Fortune 6. Mend Ailment 7. Holy Veil 8. Rez sig (sorry for re-post - I have posted this build on this site before) The only time this build is not very effective is versus teams that have mass hexes and mass degen, but if your team is even mildly effective the hexers will be down fast and you can spam reversal and mend for heals (thanks divine favor) while waiting for veil to recharge so you can remove more hexes. Enjoy |

I have to agree with JR, to a degree, on this. I agree that a boon protter would be more effective than a bonder in most circumstances. Not a huge fan of Guardian, however, and I'd put Prot Spirit in place of it on that build.

As for veil, if I am continually being the target of hexes, I will keep it precast on myself. If not, I won't bother. I can always just cop my boon off to remove a key hex quickly. |

channeling is pretty much worthless in arena, just not enough people.
and yes you would have energy management problems thats why boon prot build uses the elite to manage energy.... If energy management wasn't that difficult for a boon prot they would defniatly use that elite on something else like Shield of deflection |

OK, my bond monk for 4 vs 4 is this:
- Healing Hands (e) - Orison of Healing - Healing Breeze - Signet of Devotion/Blessed Signet (Whichever one gives you energy for enchantments, cannot remember which at the moment.) - Divine Boon - Life Bond - Balthazars Spirit - Restore Life I find this build is pretty easy to run. Bond 2 high priority targets balthz spirit yourself, then boon yourself. Hands for tanking wars and breeze is your primary heal, only use orison if they are below 50% health. |

wow that seems wildly backwards...
I would use orison (7 energy with boon) more often than breeze (12 energy with boon) and drop the hard res for a sigent in the arenas |
