Ok, after a short stent away from the game i've decided to pick it back up and try out PvP. So, i'm ditching most of the PvE strategies (of course) and looking at what I can do with my Monk, with the help of guides such as the Boon Prot guide, i've narrowed things down a good bit.

So far i've got a decent setup for armor and the cookie cutter prot build, however i'm not familular with other builds PvP wise (if any) for Monking.

Protection Prayers - 8 + 1 + 1
Divine Favor - 12 + 1 / 12 + 1 + 3 (When Casting Boon)
Inspiration Magic - 10

Judge's Chest w/ 20% Less Dazed & 20% Less Deep Wound
Ascetic's Handwraps w/ +30 HP
Judge's Leggings w/ +1 Divine Favor
Ascetic's Sandals w/ Attunement +2 Energy

Katana +5 Energy w/ 19% Longer Enchants & Prot Icon 20/20 Cast / Charge
Protective Rod +15 / -1 & Jeweled Chalice +15 / -1
Katana -5 Energy w/ +5 Defense (or +29HP?) & Tattered Fan -5 Energy
???? w/ +45 / -2 Enchant Shield

1. Mantra of Recall
2. Divine Boom
3. Reversal of Fortune
4. Guardian
5. Protective Spirit
6. Mend Condition
7. Holy Veil
8. Contemplation of Purity

Suggestions and what not are appreciated, i'm sure the armor will probably be an issue. Its just what i've had for alittle while now in PvE and seems to work decently. Just didn't really wanna buy two new sets of armor if I didn't have to (+AL Enchant & +HP)

The Armor switching doesn't work in PvP now, so it's either +3 with a Sup or +1 with a Minor.

I would just stick with a +4 Headpiece for Divine Favor.
The 20% Dazed 20% Deep Wound is just a blah. I would swap in a +1 Protection Minor Rune.
Get Sup Vigor as soon as you can so you get 20 more health on the hands.
Get 1 Attunement and 1 Vitae for your last spots.

Just so you know, Boon Prots are kind of dead, so it will be better for you to try a new build, like a Blessed Light Monk.

I'd try minor df/minor prot/sup vigor/2x vitae.

+30 unconditional on shields is a bit better than +45 enchanted.

Enchant mod is useless.

You might want to get some answers from the Gladiator Forum as it is more PvP.

Changed the build around to Blessed Light, looking into others aswell though.

Thanks for the tips everyone, hopefully i'll be able to get the swing of things PvP wise
