Hi there, been thinking of trying "some" pvp out. I was wondering if anyone can lean me towards a build consisting of just Proph + NF skills atm. This is for random arenas. I've been thinking of ZB, PS, RoF, dismiss condition, shielding hands, holy veil, and last 2 probably from 2nd profession. And is gift of health definently needed?

Thanks!

no, you dont need gift at all on a zb bar for arenas. (many will disagree, but yeah, you really dont)

also i would suggest taking draw+mending touch, because its a leet combo.

ps is unfortunately crap in arenas, but you do not have access to spirit bond, so duh. =(

for your utility skill, im not sure which are from which campaign, so i dunno really. ;o

Here's the only advice I can give you. Don't plan on PvPing unless you have all chapters.

It'd be hard to find an effective RA Prot build for a monk that doesn't include GoH.

I've got my glads without it and all my other skills are far more valuable in important situations (spikes, dazed, conditions) than a 120 ish heal 3/4 cast raw heal other. If your monk can't handle dazed for example you will lose that 1 round out of 10 you face daze. GoH has no specific purpose other than a post spike cleanup or if ZB has been messed with (though its not going to save you from dom mez for long. 5sec rc heal wont save u from a SoH either. At some point its on your team to mitigate). If you run dismiss I can understand however (though dismiss is trash w/o bonds or aegis imo) for lack of any healing period other than ZB. I would like to hear your definition of effective if its not winning glad points.

You can keep PS if you want I don't like it but it can really help against ele and other builds. I've personally found SoA still to be superior to SH in most all cases. Id take out dismiss and go mending touch+mend cond/draw. Start learning to play with purge signet. For secondary skills try hexbreaker, a war stance or since you are just starting skip purge and play with dark escape/return. Since your starting out PvP I wouldnt recommend glyph of lesser. Give yourself some more defense with the /A /W /Me secondaries.

In conclusion...closing in on r5 and not a single point won with GoH. To Shiz, look at factions the only skill really worth having it for on monk is Spirit Bond (blight is almost obselete).
