I don;t know if anyone has created a build like this and submitted it, so i'd like to claim creation over this build.

This build is designed around supporting your party through the use of Smiting Prayers, and more specifically, boosting the damage of your party mates, and punish enemies indirectly.

Monk/Mesmer

Smiting Prayers: 16 (12 + hat + rune)
You can decide where the remainder of your points will go, i suggest a good ammount (5-10) in divine favor, or a large ammount in Inspiration for energy management.

Shield of Judgment {E} :Use this usually once per large mob on your party's main tank, it will noticably hurt all enemy melee users, and although it has a long recharge, it should recharge just fine between battles, don't think of it as a spammable spell, because it isnt.

Arcane echo: Use this to duplicate any skills you wish, but my choice would be SoJ

Smite hex: Hex removal, while adding damage

Judges insight: Offensive buff, dont need to say much about this one

Strength of Honor / Retribution: Your choice, once again as a offensive buff, i'd try and keep one of theese on your tank when your going into a very large sustained battle, coupled with SoJ and JI your tank will be dishing out insane ammounts of damage for a short time, and very good damage for a long time

Power drain/Drain Enchantment/Inspired Hex/Energy Tap/Leech Signet/ etc...

Remaining skill options:
Scourge Healing: If going intoi a mission with lots of monks
Zealots fire with Orison of healing/Reversal of fortune: Fun combo
Res skill
Balthazars aura/Symbol of wrath: Used as scattering skills, and finishers
Essence Bond: Energy management
1 or 2 Smiting spells to deal damage

Gear:
All ascetics armor as Smiting is energy-heavy
Scourgewinds Branch or Shen's Censure and Wayward wand/Ivors smiting rod

Usage:
When you enter a battle, echo your SoJ, and cast them on your tank(s), then when they begin attacking, throw a retribution or strength of honor on your tank(s), use Judges Insight for bosses or very tough enemies, Smite away any very harmful hexes, then mix and match the other skills, i would bring zealots/orison or ROF so you can give your tanks even more support. And dont forget to use a Inspiration skill so your energy doesnt become exhausted

Bumping is not allowed, not even here. If your thread doesn't get any attention, it probably doesn't deserve any. Quite accurate in this case, I might add.

Closed.
