Divine Protector, v1

I just recently made my monk.

On forehand, I tought up what skills I was going to use.

It works AWESOME, absolutely, awesome.

So here it is; I think it hasnt been posted yet, nor have I seen anyone use this yet either

Divine Protector

Reversal of Fortune - Enchantment Spell
For 8 seconds, the next time, the next time target ally would take damage, that ally gains that amount of health instead, maximum 15-67

Guardian - Enchantment Spell
For 5 seconds, Guardian has a 20-44% chance to "Block" attacks.

------------------------------------------
Aegis - Enchantment Spell
For 5-10 seconds, all party members have a 50% chance to block attacks

OR

Shielding Hands - Enchantment Spell
For 10 seconds, damage recieved by target ally is reduced by 3-15
------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------
Mend Condition - Spell
Remove one "Condition" (Poison, Disease, Blindness, Dazed, Bleeding, Crippled, or Deep Wound) from target other ally. That ally is healed for 5-57 points.

OR

Remove Hex - Spell
Remove a "Hex" from target ally.
---------------------------------------------

Signet of Devotion - Signet
Heal target ally for 14-83 points.

Divine Boon - Enchantment Spell
While you maintain this "Enchantment", whenever you cast a Monk spell on an ally, that ally is healed for 25-61 points, and you lose 2 Energy.

Peace and Harmony {Elite} - Enchantment Spell
For 30-78 seconds, target ally gains +1 Energy regeneration. Peace and Harmony ends if that ally attacks or casts a spell that does not target an ally.

Rebirth - Spell
Resurrect target party member. Target party member is returned to life with 25% health and zero energy, and is teleported to your current location. All of target's skills are disabled for 10-4 seconds. This spell consumes all of your remaining energy.

12+1+3 Divine Favor
12+1 Protection Prayers

Peace and Harmony + Divine Boon + 16 Divine Favor means that you can heal for a lot, without actualy using a healing skill, instead, you can protect your party against futher damage. Divine Favor adds 48 life each spell, and Divine Boon adds 76 life, so each spell, wether it is a heal or not, heals for 128 (!!!) life, wether you are removing a hex, or protecting your allies

You can keep up divine boon constantly with peace and harmony and even keep an allied monk high on energy aswell. Increasing the amount of healing in your party even futher. The duration of Peace and Harmony is 94 seconds, meaning that 2 people in your party will constantly have 1 extra regeneration pip.

So basicly, you're a 4 pip protector, with massive healing, combining the best of both worlds. For PvP, bring Aegis, as you're not using one tank like in PvE, for PvE shielding hands can easily keep your tank alive 19 reduced damage... thats like stacking 4 superior absorption runes. Combine with Guardian for block against enemies with physical attacks, and Reversal of Fortune for enemies with spells.

Well, thats my build, please try it out before critising it too much

Ñaz

/sigh Just a clarification for people: When a build runs Divine Boon, you add "Boon" as a prefix, not "Divine." So, the proper term for this build would be a "Boon Protector." And yes, Boon Prot has been done before, although I must admit, I was very pleased when I first figured it out myself.

For PvP, I would definitely get rid of Rebirth for Res Sig [for CA] or another spell [Tombs/GvG].

Please note that both Divine Boon and Aegis cancel Peace and Harmony, which is the reason I would strongly suggest another energy management spell for you. You'll probably have to go 12/10/8 with your Attributes, but I've always found running Boon with P&H risky.

Furthermore, P&H is a terrible elite. There are plenty of mesmer non-elite spells that end up giving you 1 pip of energy or more, and offering of blood can give you about 3 pips.

Due to the diminishing returns from bumping up your divine/prot to such high levels (i.e. costs a lot to get it from 11 to 12), there really isn't much reason not to take some attribute points away from divine/prot, put them in blood, and get energy management 3 times as good as your current one.

So in general, stay away from peace&harmony.

P&H isn't tooo bad if your using it with another monk

Well, if you are gonna be running more than one Divine Boon, id suggest Blessed Signet for energy management instead of Peace and Harmony. Then try and make room for a different elite...

my 2 cents.
