Ok now for the topic...I think its good and all but really not needed. protection spirit is what we all have used for so long and have done many places with it...so why go through all the touble?...

It is just something to do for fun, just to bring back some memories of the old prot bond days, its not meant to be used a lot since the current builds work fine, it is just fun to do, especially for those that were around when the 55 build was first discovered.

While the eggs are nice to use this is really nothing new. You could of been using Prot Bond since Factions came out. Monk +1 Attrib shrine anyone?

Eggs are super nice though since you can do it anywhere. Much better than Lunar Fortunes...

Hmm good point guys eggs are worthless! so if any one wants to get rid of em then please contact me in game and i will buy these worhtless little items. Note to writer your very right in this instance and there are 1 or 2 very good uses for only 5% damage. Quite specific but wow do they make the farm easy.

Prot bond farming isnt viable anymore, not even with the egg trick.

Lets look at a typical skillbar:

1. Prot Bond - needed
2. Balthz spirit - needed
3. Essence bond - needed
4. <energy gaining skill> - pretty needed unless you wanna wack on with your zealous weap
5. <healing skill> - mending? well that doesnt heal enough. breeze? can be interrupted and stripped more easily.
6. <2nd healing skill> - most likely needed.
7. <damage skill>
8. <damage skill>

Which leaves 2 skills for damage, and your attributes are pretty crippled as it is, seeing as you need 16 in prot, which leaves little room for a high smiting skill or whatever you need.

And dont forgot that the AI has gotten alot smarter than back in the day where the prot bond imonk ruled.

It would work, but daaamn it would be slow.

It can be used with 2 heros with some careful casting order, but dosen't provide much (if any) benefit over a duo build.

Each hero casts Bond on you. One hero will lose 2 eng per hit and the other 1, so place life bond, essence bond and balths spirit accordingly.

And dont forget shrine blessings when you have favor, can give a +1 to attributes.

You can use the old prot bond build from back before the nerf, it still works, you just need several headpieces.
