whatever floats your boat really..

id take the first, except for ps id go spirit bond.

tbh id also take out rebirth for holy veil because im not a monk rez fan (even in pve) but many will disagree so.. maybe kick aegis, its nice but really not needed

The last one because it has GoH and a hex remover, but I'd make a couple changes first.

1. Replace Inspired Hex with Holy Veil.
2. Consider replacing SoA with Sig of Devotion for most PvE areas. I find SoA to be valuable only in a few select areas in PvE while Sig of Devotion is great everywhere.

I'm not a fan of Aegis on this kind of bar (ZB,GoH,etc.) in PvE. The strength of that bar is its ability to be a super strong healer in addition to the prot and utility stuff. It's the "DO-EVERYTHING!" God bar in PvE. You don't even need a second monk in your party a vast majority of the time if you run this bar.

Aegis, however, consumes two slots with GoLE, which means you need to sacrifice two healing and/or utility skills (usually GoH, Sig of Devotion, or Holy Veil). This steers you back toward a prot bar instead of a "do everything" bar, which is perfectly fine as long as you have a second monk/rit/whatever in your group that can heal.
In other words, I AM a fan of Aegis in a pure prot bar, but I just can't find room for it in a ZB/GoH hybrid bar without sacrificing too much healing and/or utility.

The last one.

The other three don't have GoH; GoLE + Aegis is not that necessary in PvE. I'd switch Dismiss with Mend, Holy Veil for Inspired, and you can keep SoA as an optional slot for a capture sig or Sig of Devotion or something.

i always found zb to be MORE than enough..goh is just waste of energy really.

defferentl;y the last 1 with GoH + hex remove, if u ever make a monk bar make sure it has hex/ contional remover. u cant run a monk with migrane / dazed can u

To me they all look fine but the last one is a little better since it has GoH and if they have mass of hexes you can heal them up.You can use one of those or one of these since I am found of it.Take a look at these onesI am not a big fan of mass of hex degen though more like condition.

The last one, but Holy Veil > Inspired Hex.

Turbobusa · Apr 01, 2007, 06:54 AM // 06:54

the last one, with holy veil too.
i'd keep PS for PvE, SB for PvP

This is for PvE as a lone Hybrid Monk. Has absolutely ZERO energy management. xD

This is for PvE as a Pure Prot monk teamed up with a Pure Heal Monk. ZB can be replaced with Restore Condition and Dismiss with Holy Veil. Has quite nice energy management.

sound good?

have you ever bothered reading what zb does when you say it has absolutely no energy management? also playing smart is ftw :S

and gawd, that avatar, for some reason i knew you were the same annoying person. -_- shouldve stayed banned imo..
