Search Button. There are many good builds on GWG. Those that arn't so good are usualy corrected so there really isn't a bad build here

That would be nice if the search button was working but it isn't and this is post patch so skill that are on there today aren't any good anymore.I would suggest experimenting a little but make sure most of your points are in protect,devine and heal with minor runes and don't use protective bond it isn't all that good use Life bond as that is what everyone is useing but most protecting spells are enchants eg reversal of fortune protective spirit etc.I did bonding at one time with the measly enrgy that I had although it worked now I prefer rof,ps mend ailment and guardian etc.Those are just two types or protectors.

Why do people bother with guaridian??? Good kiting skills will save you the energy and having to stop to give you a CHANCE to block that evicerate or whatever the hell that warrior is gonna gank you with.

3lite · Mar 06, 2006, 04:08 PM // 16:08

reversal
guardian
restore condictions [E]
prot spirit
ageis
covert hexes
holy veil/inspired hex
channeling

btw guardian is good to throw up on ghost so warriors dont interupt when he is claiming the alters

Right so by the same token you should never use distortion or whirling defence or dryders defences or lightening reflexes or dodge or bonetties or .... I'll just kite all day and not do a thing for my team except be a drain on my monk when I get snared. I'll take a 45% chance to block any incoming attack any day.

EDIT: So this actually has some merit to the op

RoF Guardian Mend Ail PS Boon Veil CoP OoB takes a bit of getting used to now with the skill changes but still just as effective.

or try out a bonder build

This build is the basic build I use for everything, and it has never failed me so far.

16 Protection Prayers
13 Divine Favor

Reversal of Fortune
Shielding Hands
Shield of Regeneration
Guardian
Mend Condition
Aegis
Divine Spirit
Rebirth

Kepkhet's Staff, Yakslapper or any protection staff with a +20% enchant mod

I've rarely ever had to change this despite the lack of a hex killer, as it simply is enough to get you through pretty much anything PvE has to throw at you. Start out with Aegis, of course, and as soon as you spot the tank taking the damage, throw Shielding Hands and Guardian on him. Follow up with a second Guardian, and you've left him topped out for a good 15 seconds without help from the healer. After that, you just tend to whoever needs you by keeping Aegis up as much as possible and Guardian/RoF spamming. SoR for when it gets bad, as tacking on another 40 AL and a +9 regen for 14-17 seconds will save pretty much anyone. Tack on Divine Spirit when you get down to about 10-15 energy, and you'll almost never run critically low. This build is a no-brainer that'll never require you to time anything perfectly, meaning that you avoid the whole all hell breaking loose scenario if you miss a spell or get attacked. I've gone through Hell's countless times without team deaths as the only monk in the group while playing this build. It really does work beautifully.
