Disclaimer (lol) this is only good for team or competition arena, but its dang good at what it does.

Viva le Azure Shadow

9 inspiration
12+3+1 smiting
9+1 DF

Mantra of Inscriptions
Signet of devotion
Signet of Judgement
Bane Signet
Signet of Humility
Retribution
Holy Wrath
Ressuruction Signet.

He refelcts back 99% total damage to anything that hits him or his monk, while still being useful with smiting damage, knockdowns, healing support, and elite lockdown.

At the begginning of battle, have no focus equipped. Cast holy wrath on yourself, and wait for mana to recharge. Then, cast retribution on yourself, wait for mana to recharge. Then, if theres another monk, cast holy wrath, then retribution, on him. Make sure to have 10 mana left, this is very important. As soon as the battle begins, use mantra of inscriptions.. The scary symbol above your head will strike fear into your opponents. When the mantra runs out, switch to a smiting staff with +30 health on both components WHILE SPAMMING THE MANTRA button... this is very important.

He needs absoultely no energy. Just activate mantra before your energy is sapped, and when its about to run out swithc to your staff to give yourself an extra energy, while mashing the mantra button as fast as you can to make sure it gets off before holy wrath takes it away.

--thx to Aluren Quickstaff of GSS for the concept and playtesting.

That's funny as heck, I'm gonna go try it. Also wanna try a r/mo with qz+serpents, and signet of judgement. Every 6 seconds ain't too bad.

I like this build, I've been thinking of using a signet build myself. looks pretty fun, although Rust will be terrebly annoying. more and more ppl are bringing water ele's these days because of the major boost they have gotten (you wont believe the AoE deep freeze has, I've slowed down entire enemy parties several times). Although because not a lot of ppl use anti-sig skills yet, you're pretty save.
Why not bring purge signet? the major hex/condition removal will come in handy.

Major Degen will pretty much kill almost any one, no?
So the fact that degen goes past the enchantments, doesn't make it an added weakness for the character. actually, since the build uses the HP staff upgrades, degen will kill the build slower then it will kill most builds.

500+30+30+50-75=535 total hp
conjure phantasm= 5degen for +/- 12 seconds= 10x12=120
Life transfer= +/- 8 degen for 12 seconds= 16x12= 192
535-(192+120)=223= not dead just yet

if he where to have a dgen of 10 the who time, he would be dead in:

535/20=26.75 seconds though

this build is awesome. i tried it in CA, found a team with an inteligent monk and then it was just funny. i put the stuff on me and the other monk, then i just run in there and watch the tanks attack me. once they almost killed me (and themselves too) i would get healed for a massive amount of hp (our monk was using divine boon, dont ask), and the tank switched targets i would use the soj/bane signet thing. it was funny as hell.

lingering curse/enchant removal totally owned this, since when they take off like retribution you still have 0 energy from holy wrath so you cant put it back on. 1 pip takes like forever to get to 10 energy too.

anyway it was funny as hell. got to 15 wins before i had to go
