hmm... okay
you could still use life bond build, but without Mantra of inscription, you have to use your energy more efficiently.

Try this:

1. life bond
2. life barrier
3. Blessed signet
4. Shield Up
5. Watch yourself
6. Balthazar's Spirit
7. Signet of Devotion
8. ressurect

Try not to life barrier everyone. You need to take some damage, use the balthazer's spirit to gain enery and Adrenline.

armor is not important issue, those 1.5 k armor from droknar is more than enough, but armor from Yak's bend would work jsut fine. This build is not depended on armor. Because you are not taking physical damage.

For attribute point:
max out divine, and protection, some decent point into tactics. With 200 attribute point and without anyrunes, you could get 12 divine, 12 protect and 10 tactics i think. But with runes are better.

well, depends on you, armor doesnt matter that much, but if you need more energy, don't get Judge's armor. my monk with judge's armor only have 29 energy. without enchantment. But solo monk, or runner monk is best with tattoo armor.

For your 55hp build, use the cheapest. lowest class tats. You're just gonna rune it up & prot spirit is gonna reduce phys dmg to -5 anyway, which means the AL doesn't matter at all. For your 55hp, you need the -50 offhand & any wand with +energy or faster recharge will work just fine.

Heres what I found useful in FoW 8 man party for bonder:

Monk/Mesmer

Insp. Magic: 7
Heal: 9
Prot: 15
Div: 10 (note I use a div scalp)

Breeze, Inspired Hex, Blessed Sig, Word of Healing, Energy Tap, Essence bond, lifebond, restore life

works pretty well. I use inspired hex as a emergency hex removal (you have another monk that should do this anyway) to get SS off of people (it also give you energy!). Energy tap for more energy management. And Essence Bond for EMERGENCY energy management.

If you require energy and your SS/Br Necro can give you BR then I suggest you get br'ed instead of using essence bond.

Here is some more information I posted a while ago about a bonder for SF. You don't need Mantra of Inscriptions or a rez when farming (although you might want it you don't use the gear trick or go in larger groups). I'm not sure what you gain from a warrior secondary for bonding, but you can easily rely on all monk skills. The obvious choice for armor is ascetics for the energy both for bonder and for 55 monks. Since you're out of danger most of the time as a bonder, I run a superior divine and superior protection rune. Weapon sets don't really make a difference as far as I can tell, so get one with max energy like Yakslapper. Make sure you have 15/-1 weapons on the offhand in case you need energy quick (such as when you have Rust on you or spent too much energy before Blessed Signet recharges).
