Good defense for a Monk in Heroes Ascend

Hi. I just want to ask what might be a good defensive skill to take when I'm using my monk as a healer in HA. It's 'cause those darn warriors kept running for me.

I tried using SoJ, but a lot of peeps in HA would only take me if I'll equip my WoH. I'm pretty new in this HA/PvP side of GW so plzzz help!

I can be Mo/Me, Mo/Wa and Mo/Ne


Thanks!

Just my two cents, but if a monk needs to defend himself the rest of the team is not doing a very good job.

Not a spell, but in my short experience with PVP I have found that often running away or running in large circles often works. Many times the person chasing me gives up and goes to attack someone else. It sounds lame, but it has worked for me quite a few times. Also remember to watch ranger arrows and simply side strafe out of their way before they hit you.

I say healing sucks there go Prot.

Yeah, when a monk isn't defended by team mates, you better be a good runner
My other monk uses Illusion of weakness. That together with items that give you health when enchanted, work very well for me. Suffice to say it's a mo/me.
Just a pity the enchantment gets shattered all the time

The rest of the characters in your build should be handling most of that. Wards, snares, anti melee hexes... As long as you can kite, and your positioning is decent.

Please don't take shield of judgement on your healing build. Just hope your prot monk + the rest of your team is decent.

I tried taking Distortion too, but the only problem I have with that is it takes some of my energy away everytime I evaded their attacks.

yea Prot works better there in my opinion too, but everytime I'm in a Ranger Spike group, most likely, they want WoH Monks.

If it's KD that is annoying you, bring Balanced Stance. Sounds weird, but it can be worth it in the end.

On the defensive side, you can try bringing Bonetti's Defense and enchanting yourself with Balthazar's Spirit. Old school style.

If you got another monk or something else that is /Mo try to have them bring Shield of Judgement. Good stuff.

Good advice guys. Thanks!
