I'd be weary of interrupts, 2s cast times in RA/TA on a monk never seem to stand a chance. Also, against any form of degen pressure this build will completely buckle. Still I am sure it is a fun build to play. In RA it might even land you a few wins.

I know it looks ugly, plus, it is pretty difficult to play with. Now, few advises:

¤ don't spam SR on your allies
¤ use SR for you as a tank skill if under pressure
¤ use SR to counter heavy life degen on ally
¤ don't forget power of Divine Favour: Reversal and Dismiss will quikly add 42 life points to your target, plus there prot bonus
¤ maintain Mantra of Inscriptions
¤ spam Signet of Devotion as possible. Remember that daze condition and Migraine like skills will not affect this skill
¤ Purge Signet will remove all hexes on you, making heavy hex build useless against you. Combined with...
¤ Ether signet will boost your mana from 0 to 15 every 17 sec

I was formerly ZB Mo/A, and now exploring new Mo possibilities. This new build gave me dozen glad points in RA. Hope some Monks will enjoy with it.

well, thats different O_O

I might have to try this

I forgot to mention Scribe's Insight would syngerzie nicely with your build.

The problem with this build is it has too much energy management and not enough skills that are actually important. Nice try, but I think you're sacrificing too much power for the sake of using a lot of signets.

Trylo · Apr 24, 2007, 12:52 AM // 00:52

lets look at it this way:

mantra of inscriptions: 10e, lasts for ~minute. thats pretty nice... its barely a strain on energy and synergizes with sig of devo and purge (which i would definately use on your bar)

so ether sig is 15 energy every 17 seconds, thats an almost 1e per 1sec ratio which is what i like to call good energy management... but you must be below 8 energy which is somewhat annoying depending on your play style (personally i like to keep my energy up and wait for spikes/extended pressure)

either way ether sig energy management takes up 2 slots of your bar... which is basically a monks optional slots... ill have to try it out, although this might mean changing tactics to keep a low energy reserve.

i would take out inspired hex for a different hex remover, either BL with deny or DH or Veil... personally i dont like Shield of Regen, but thats your choice really... i just see people using ether then straight to Shield of Regen totally ruining all hopes of anti spike with very low energy... its a double edged sword indeed <_<

@ender... he has (edit:2) 2 sec signets which are not easily interupted because they are not spells...
scribes insight is a worthless elite... to make it effective you need signets, which is counterproductive because signets cost no energy... plus ether signet should be enough to work with energy wise...

Tyrlo: Purge Signet & Signet of Devotion are both 2 secs. I still think 2 sec casts are easily interruptable regardless if they are spell. Scribe's insight may be worthless, i certainly don't use it, but it does synergize with his build.
