Well this build basickly is to take alot of damage without taking alot of damage (good for spike builds) im soory if this build has been used before but i tried search and could find it...:
Name: Tank bond
ingrediants:
5 */M

3 m/*

Well before the battle starts evryone casts life bond on each other.
(the only skill u need) the job of the three healers is to heal the tanks (there is still going to be damge u know) and heal themselves
So your basicly going to take more than 50% of the enemys hits and then get healed for that amount (a way for healers to understand protectors...)

As is my understanding of Life Bond based on the description:

While you maintain this enchantment, whenever target other ally takes damage from an attack, half the damage is redirected to you. The damage you receive this way is reduced 3-25 points.

Only physical damage from attacks will be reduced. Thus, unless you're fighting against IWAY and prehaps RSpike, you won't really notice anything. Also, "tanking" in PvP doesn't exist. Especially in an 8v8 match, a target can be dropping in a matter of seconds from an 8 player gank. And unless you've invested points into protection, you're just redirecting the damage and reducing it by 3.

Not to mention you are severely limiting your build, and every character is down a pip of energy regen... On top of that, with the amount of good its doing you, its just giving the other team free drains/shatters. Really, it's a terrible idea. No point leaving this open.
