The Perfect all in one monk

Im sure everyone knows this build by now i have seen alot of people play it incorrectly though.

10 blood
10+1 prot
11+4 divine

Blood faster recharge offhand and mainhand.

OoB,RoF,Mend Ailment,Gaurdian,Divine Spirit,Prot Spirit/CoP,Holy Veil,Divine boon.

I usually can keep holy veil and divine boon up the whole time. not enough room to fit both CoP and Prot spirit on the bar so sadly you choose which is more prominent hex/condition stacking or spike. Cant really choose wrong the build will work to counter both no matter what just makes life easier. Use OoB as often as possible and anytime your going to be spamming spells alot use Divine Spirit if it is up. Also notice no res this is because you shouldnt let anyone die untill you yourself are dead thus it would be useless .

Couldn't you have saved us the trouble of coming to this thread by just calling it "boon prot build" in the title?

energy sapper>this "perfect" build.

Personally, I like Mantra Of Recall more than Offering Of Blood, but its ur choice.

And maybe u should bring healing touch for urself...

Should bring a res.

I dont find to much trouble with energy sappers i can outlast their skills for the most malaise ect... take some fancy weapon switching but other then that debilitating shot is the only that can cause problems but i still give my team enough time to win despite it. I may go down even but the other teams damage isnt so great so i can even run and buy time.

As for Mantra of Recovery the math points to OoB for a number of reasons especialy since if you want to use it at any pace faster than its 20 second interval you have to CoP it which cuts down on the energy gain.

Healing touch hurts the build because you can live with out it and the heals on the bar are better for your team as a whole.

As for resing any team thats worth anything is going to DP the monk out in gvg first or in 4v4 use up the res sigs by killing the monk. The argument for res sig is strong i know, but if i lost with this build it wasnt because i was the last one standing and needed to res. If we couldnt have done it in 3 sigs then we couldnt have done it with 4. *shrug* but yeah i see where your comeing from.

Mantra of Racall is better than OoB. There are several reasons why. Such as

- You don`t sac health
- You can have it running at the same time it is recharging
- When you combine it with CoP, you get a health bonus.
- It does not require many points in Inspiration at all for it to be very successful.


Healing Touch is an amazing skill. Simply being able to "live without it" doe snot mean it is not great. It is one of the best non-elite self heals in the game. If u are in CA, u are the target. Bring the best stuff u have.

Bring a res. There is no such thing as an invincible monk, or a monk that can always keep his team alive. There is balance.

Quote: Hell no. Maybe in PvE, but even then your time is usually better spent casting. PvP someone else should be doing it. I disagree. I think that having a multi-res on a monk is a very good thing in CA.(not in organized teams) In CA, ressurecting people is a big deal, simply because 4 vs 4 is much better than 3 vs 4. If everybody uses res sigs, there is a limit to how many times people can be ressurected, but if you have a multi res (like vengance ), there is no limit to how many times you can ressurect people.

Ressurecting can easily change the course of the battle.

3 pips = 1 energy per second for a Boon Prot Monk. If your energy starts full at full, say 45, you cast Mantra of Recall, bringing your energy to 35. Your energy regens to 40 over 5 seconds, then you cast Guardian, Reversal, Mend Ailment, Reversal, Guardian over 10 seconds, you have 15 energy. You use Contemplation of Purity, bringing your energy down to 10, then up to 33. You cast Mantra of Recall again in 5 seconds after casting 2 skills, bringing you to 14 energy. You contemplate to get to 31 energy and can only cast 4 or 5 skills before reaching zero energy, with Mantra of Recall still recharging.
(forgot about Boon recasts, too lazy to go change it all)

Offering of Blood
5 Energy to cast
16 Energy gain (at 10 Blood Magic)
Recharge is 15 seconds

Your energy starts full at full, 45. You cast Guardian, Reversal, Mend Ailment, Reversal, Guardian over 10 seconds, you have 20 energy. Contemplation of Purity, then recast Divine Boon over 3 seconds. You are at 11 energy. You wait two seconds, cast Offering of Blood, and you have 27 energy. You continue through the match and win a flawless victory.


This may not be all correct but i think that OoB is better to use for energy management on a Boon Prot.

When getting in the thick of things I would use Victory is Mine for energy and any conditions on yourself.Savio is right though it is not the Monks jop to Res it is the Warriors jop to bring a hard res.

Hmmm...Unless you're running a specific condition build, ViM is pretty unreliable, and it's only when the enemy have a stack of conditions where it really shines. Even with a condition build, monks have to often move up to get energy, which can be risky as well.
