Bonder/Barrier monk

so ive been using my monk for PvE and i can run healing and protection. I am quite bad at healign though so i usually run this:

Equipment: Holy Rod 11-22 req 12, +5 energy while enchanted, halves recharge time on divin favor skills (20% chance). 12/20/20 protective icon from collectors.


Full astetics tatoos from droknars forge with Minor protection, minor divine, major vigor, and a defender +1 protection headgear

So here are my attributes, i havent yet finished the +15 point attribute quests:

Protection - 13
Divine Favor - 12

Skills:
Life Barrier
Life Bond
Balthazaars Spirit
Blessed Signet
Reversal of Fortunes
Shielding Hands
Signet of Devotion
Ressurect

so any criticism would be nice, and remeber this is for PvE

id say no to ressurect, use rebirth, its much better, shielding hands I guess..


reversal of fortune is like my MVP spell because it can literally be better then any healer spell, its like im a healer/protector with like... 0 in healing. I love it.


shielding of hands is ok.... but you could use aegis, or guardian. I seem to find aegis a lifesave with 20% more enchanting, a nice lvl pro, it can last like.. 13 seconds and it can save ur team more then you think.


sig of devotion is cool too, a free heal spell, no mana, very synergetic.


other then that that is your staple build.


the only skills you can mix around with are


shield/SoD, and resurrect/rof


rebirth should be staple though.. if your going with a random PUG.

barriers are so easy to be good with, just use rof.


I usually bring condition removal as well. ( it makes me more effective, and makes the healer really not have to do anything)


in my opinion i like the barrier monk the best, because it literally makes ur team super harder to kill, I know alot of monks dont even carry condition removal nowadays.

my tank is like spamming I have blind on me.. i am expecting the healr to immediatley take if off, but 9 out of 10 dont carry condition removal, so im like.. aite let me do it.


You can literally play god as a bonder, u have so many options.

but again, reversal of fortune is just too good not to use @ lvl 16 pro spells. It is a uber healing spell.
