indeed.

A booner still works nicely in RA, but it's nothing compared to a ZB monk.

Still, i'm ready to resume my mad boonprotting if they buff some other elite skill.

(scribes insight, boon signet, PnH, Offering of Spirit, or maybe they will reunite monks with OoB!!) hehe. i can dream.

EDIT: comment on your main build there. I'm of the opinion that CoP isn't "all that". I used to run PS along with SoD. :P SoD is the best!

Good times, it was my favourite build too.

Maybe I'll give it a go again in RA with the new Factions skills. Shield and Dismiss would work soooo well with Boon, if only we had that back in the day...

Are you kidding? CoP is one of the best things boon prot had going for it. That's the only reason I liked BP more than BL (before the nerf), the awesome self defense it had with CoP.

Of course, PS and SoD are also great skills.

OK well then what is a good build to run using only prophesies skills?

Anything works in PvE, even this Boon Prot build, and you shouldn't PvP with only prophecies skills, because you're not good enough for it.

Can't help you much on this though, I haven't made a Prophecies only build since well... Prophecies.

Effigy · Dec 05, 2006, 01:07 PM // 13:07

In PvE, you could always use a WoH build with just Prophecies.

Yes, very true, seems much more effective then Boon Prot ^^ I always forgot what elites come from what chapter, as I don't really need to think about this...

CoP would, of course, have been my next choice if i had a ninth skill slot :P

SoD > CoP no matter what.

And never would i leave home without SB or PS.

Shield of Absorption is much better than guardian imho too, but that's a new skill. Especially in RA, you gotta watch out with all the thumpers around.

SoD > CoP? Definitly not.

Boon Prot was strong because it had the whole package, and the ability to easily remove hexes and conditions was one of them. I can see why you'd prefer SoD now, as Boon Prot has alot of energy problems, but it's definitly not as important as CoP is.

And yes, SoA is better then Guardian, but as I edited in my guide, I'm just not going to edit this anymore, this build is kinda crappy, no matter how you modify it.

Boon Prot's time is over, I hope this is the last post in this thread, so this build can be forgotten, like it should be.
