From PvXwiki

This build has been archived as of March 11th 2008, for the following reason: SoD nerf led to these types of Monks always bringing a second large prot skill and introduction of Aura of Stability plus the buff to Healer's Boon lead to Gift of Health being dropped This build had been designed for the following use: PvP GvG This build was in the category great before being archived.

By using the Elite skill Shield of Deflection, this monk is able to reduce melee pressure drastically. By using a hex from the Earth Magic line, he is able to easily kite away from his enemies. This build is to be used in GvG.
