[edit] Equipment

• Low Energy set: Weapon with +30 Health and -5 energy, Shield with +30 Health (and varying defense mod)
• Weapon with +20% longer enchantments and +5 energy inscription, same shield
• Prot Wand with 20% HSR, +5e^50; Prot offhand with 20% HSR, +30 HP core
• High Energy set: wand/offhand both +15/-1 energy.

[edit] Usage

• Restore Condition, Reversal of Fortune, and Spirit Bond are your main skills. The former removes all conditions at once and heals a lot, and the latter counters spike damage.
• Guardian and Shield of Absorption should be used on recharge on targets that are being attacked by melee or taking a lot of pressure damage.
• Aura of Stability is helpful against RaO thumpers, SoJ Deadly Arts Sins, Hammer Wars, etc.. It should also be used on a runner during relic runs when running, or on the Ghostly on King Of The Hill matches when capping.

[edit] Variants

• Swap Spirit Bond for Protective Spirit.

[edit] Notes

• This build lacks direct healing, and is very prone to hex degen.
• This build has no self-condition removal or self-heal but works well with another monk with Draw Conditions
• Channeling is a fountain of energy. Just remember not to put yourself in too great a danger.
