I Wanna try Play As prot Monk But What Kind?

Hello

ive looked thru some threads about Protection Monk and most builds i find are Boon prot,and something ellse that was Called Active Prot monk and didn't use the skill Divine Boon,What are the main diffrences which is most effective,is Boon prot still a good build for Pve?

the point is what kind of protection monk builds are there for normal pve partyn?
and how come there's so few pure protection monks around?
so any tip's on Builds. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10126086

check that thread for some preotection builds.

basicly a boon pretect relyed on the protection of RoF and gardiun to look after the team while healing with divine boon. but since the nerfs its become a back line build not favoured. if we know what games uve got we coudl give u a nice build to play with but that link i poisd has buileds for each game

Shield Bash is also a good anti-sin skill as well. Frenzied defense has become pretty popular for monks in some places, but why anyone would choose this beyond Disciplined or Shield Bash is beyond me.

Hex Breaker can also be handy against Shadow Prison sins (that seem to be everywhere), but I still think that /W is still the best counter. Shield Bash and Hex Breaker are good, but purely for PvP purposes.

Also, if someone could explain what the point of [wiki]Shield of Absorption[/wiki] is all about I'd be very grateful. I don't get it...HOW is it good? Everytime the thing with it on gets hit, it's absorb level goes up five.

So the first hit it absorbs 5, the second 10, the third 15 etc...

In heavy focus environments it can end up basically making the target invulnerable. I've seen it be able to completely negate a lightning orb before in PVP during a melee train on someone. Essentially the first couple of hits are a bit meh, but beyond that it goes to ridiculous levels of damage reduction.

so any tip's on Builds. The reason there are few prot builds for pve is because people are bad at the game. As far as 'pure' prot builds, it's because to go full prot limits your ability to make red bars go up.

Your bar is heavily dependent on what your co-monk is running (unless you're solo monking like Shiz) but I'm a huge fan of LoD/dismiss/reversal of fortune/spirit bond/heal other/glyph of lesser energy/holy veil/shield of absorption. Big heals, efficient skills, awesome energy management, light hex and condi removal. If you want you can drop out LoD for Zealous benediction, divert hexes, or RC, and if you do that drop heal other for gift. You can also trade spirit bond for prot spirit.

Boon Prot is usable in PvE, but there are better options since the nerfs. It's not a bad choice if you only have Prophecies or something like that. Boon prot is only remotely useable with boon sig and a pile of other enchants, like channeling. It goes without saying that any kind of enchantment stripping will leave you totally ineffective.
