[edit] Equipment

• Survivor's Insignias. Runes needed for stats above, and a rune of superior vigor.
• Standard monk weapon sets. Energy hiding sets for use with Rebirth.

[edit] Usage

• Use Dwayna's Kiss as a general heal, especially on allies with enchantments or hexes.
• Use Word of Healing to make red bars go up, especially on targets below 50% health.
• Use Dismiss Condition to quickly remove dangerous conditions.
• Use Shield of Absorption on pressured targets and as a small prot.
• Use Protective Spirit to counter hard hitting enemies. Beware of the high energy cost.
• Use Cure Hex to remove a hex while providing a moderate heal.
• Maintain Selfless Spirit for very easy energy management.
• Use Rebirth as an after battle resurrect.

[edit] Counters

• Standard anti-caster, such as energy denial or hexes like Migraine.
• Party wide damage, however this is less of an issue with smart positioning.

[edit] Variants

• Patient Spirit over Dwayna's Kiss. Note that energy may be a bit more difficult. Additional energy management is suggested.
• Aegis for party-wide protection against melee pressure.
• Rebirth can be replaced with a resurrection skill of choice, or an additional support skill.
• Take Guardian for more protection against physicals.
• Seed of Life can replace Shield of Absorption to provide party wide healing.
• Remove Hex or Holy Veil can replace Cure Hex. Note each skill's advantages and disadvantages.
• Reversal of Fortune for a good small prot.
• For heroes, change out Selfless Spirit for another energy-management skill.
• Signet of Rejuvenation provides a free heal to help conserve energy
• Use Power Drain and/or Leech Signet as energy management with a small investment in Inspiration Magic if running the build on a hero.
• Consider Mend Ailment over Dismiss Condition on heroes, as heroes tend to spam DC on those with conditions, resulting in energy running out fast in condition heavy areas, as well as not healing efficiently.

[edit] Notes

• The resurrection skill should be disabled on Heroes, who like to resurrect during battles.
• It may be worth disabling protective spirit on heroes as well, since heroes love to spam this skill. Over-use of protective spirit removes all energy efficiency purposes of this build.
