Curse

In Grenth's I put LiBa+LiBo on everyone, plus BS on myself. With 16 PP and 15DF my Blessed Signet gives slightly more energy than I need, besides SS necros tend to be very nice lately(BR)

Inside SF I put LiBa+LiBo+LiAt+ViBl+BS (as a cover) on the tank and BS+DB on myself. Then, neither healer nor BR is not even needed (DB+RoF)

Works perfectly for me!

I always do Life Barrier and Life bond on all (in that order!), Balthazar spirit on me.
Then when it's all about tank : Life barrier - Life bond - Vital blessing - Life attunment - Watchful spirit. I don't think there is a better cover up enchantment than WS (heals for 240 when shattered).

Hmm not bad but I still prefer BS as tank needs adrenaline for his/her stances. And I can't take WS because I have no spare slot in my skillbar left

He missed an enchant, LBarrier/LBond/Life Attunement/Balz Spirit/Watchful Spririt.

He said he brought balz spirit for himself so no reason he couldn't add it to the tank. I dropped Vital Blessings, because, simply put, it's just wrong. If you don't know why, I'll give you a hint, it's virtual health, what happens when you are low on health as a tank, and god forbid that virtual health goes away? Besides its simply not necessary. You think an extra couple hundred health is what is keeping your tank alive from a bombardment of dmg? LOL it's his stance/bonds/healing....VB does nothing, except add potential disaster to the equation.

No, I dont think so, just 75% of them will complain and 25% will ragequit if I won't put it on them...

Switching VB to VS is a good idea though

I think I'll give it a try

I dont think, they will complain..or if they do, just leave them saying what they want...u are the bonder, and u know better, what works.

After reading this thread for a few weeks, I decided to leave the old Vital Blessing (its totally unnecessary, only good to cover the other enchants) and take Watchful Spirit instead. It works perfectly, cover better than VB and if our healer leaves, I can take his place by bonding the party members with WS and removing it.

So, here is my bonder build:
1. Life Barrier
2. Life Bond
3. Life Attunement
4. Watchful Spirit
5. Reversal of Fortune
6. Balthasar's Spirit
7. Blessed Signet
8. Mantra of Inscriptions

Attributes:
- Protection prayers: 16
-Divine Favor: 13
-Inspiration magic: 3

I use MoI outside SF only...but with higher DF, it will have no use, cause I gain more than 21 energy after the Blessed Signet.
So, it can be a good idea to bring Prot. Sirit or Holy Weil as cover or Divine Boon.

Have any of u have success/failure with Symbiosis. My build
Life bond
Balthasars spirit
Blessed Sig
Reversal
shield of regen
vital blessing
symbiosis
rebirth

Att
prot 16
divind 13
beast 8

works quite well because when reversal or sheild is up extra health. tank can last much longer.

another build i tried was to be mo/me and through in mantras of (whatever dmg u are facing) and that also helped. also bring along physical/elemental resistance
