thx for that build. i spent like 5 hours in Talus Chute and Snake Dance last night just to capture Battle Rage. LOL but i got it now

ok now i need some rune and gear advice

right now i'm using full plate mail. i got a rune of major absorption, and a rune of major vigor in there

i am really not too fond of the idea of losing -75 health for a rune of superior axe mastery. that seems a like a total ripoff.

on the other hand, my stats don't seem high enough even though i have all 200 points

right now my speccs are:

Smiting Prayers: 8
Strength: 10 +1 (from plate mail helm)
Axe Mastery: 12

what runes/gear should i use in order to increase these stats?

also i have a 6-27 chaos axe; what upgrade should i stick in that in order to kill stuff the fastest? what is the exact upgrade name, and how much is it worth?

It heals for as much as an orison, it's just as fast, and it recharges just as easily. Not that blind is a bad condition, it's great, but it'll never be around long enough to anything but buy yourself a swing or two from a warrior.

That's true. Especially to a prot. monk, mend condition is a great, cheap way of healing for over 100hp provided you have points in divine favor. The value of conditions is questionable when you have 1 or 2 monks spamming mend condition. Best to not base your build around conditions, since they are very easily counterable. Mass condition removal is just as easy to do (martyr + purge conditions).
