Curse

Hi,

Recently I have been using the monk in PvP and like it quite a bit. However, I do not have access to NF/GWEN, so key skills like Dismiss Condition are not available to me. Is there any way I could create an effective PvP healer or prot monk since I only have factions and prophecies? Help in creating a build would be appreciated. Right now I mainly use SoR, Shielding Hands and Glyph of Lesser energy.

Thanks for your time,
Waffles.

What type of PvP are you looking to get into?

They're still a couple things available to you, namely RC and SoD, that are popular in high level PvP. Most of those bars are also proph/factions(RoF, GoH, SB, GoLE, etc.) so you'll be in good shape.

And don't use SoR, they're better elites.

Gift of Health
Shield of Deflection/Regeneration/Restore Condition
Guardian
Reversal of Fortune
Protective Spirit
Mend Ailment (if no RC)
Remove Hex
Channeling

Put most in Protction 10+1+1 maybe. DF should be about 10. healing only needs to be between 7-9 with the rest in inspiration. Use that as a starting point, change as needed.

Don't need guardian with SoD. Spirit bond should be on an RC monk. Should have 12 in protection, not 10.

Just ask people from top guilds, otherwise you'll take steps backwards. I can't really remember what skills you have, amongst those games only. i think spirit bond was a factions skill. Veil is better than remove hex. Channeling is good in HA, but it depends on what PVP you're doing. Don't use channeling in GVG.

You need to say what PVP you are doing

Thanks for all the help thus far. I want to start out with RA so builds relating to that would be helpful. I heard that SoR is a bad elite. What should I replace it with?

Go monk/assassin or monk/warrior. Don't use channeling in RA. Glyph of lesser can be used, but you'll find after a while you don't need energy management so much in RA.

Dark escape can be used and/or return.
Do you have shield of absorption or shielding hands.
SoA is better IMO but I don't know whether it is an NF skill.

Disciplined stance / shield bash are also viable options. They're warrior skills (tactics if I remember rightly and shield bash is strength)

Make sure you have holy veil unless you run cop or something. Problem is you don't get to pre-veil yourself, from diversions etc.

Divine intervention might be ok (I'm taking into account there isn't so many skills as you lack the games). Normally I wouldn't give this skill a look in, but you need heals without ZB.

There is some bars you can make using contemplation or purity - some might argue that's bad. Again, it could be good in your situation.

Gift of health stays.

Spiritbond > prot spirit. I would argue that spirit bond or prot spirit aren't really needed in RA. So you could take something else for this.
