Mo/N Protection Build [pve]

Reversal of Fortune
Blessed Signet / Protective Spirit for pvp possibilities
Life Bond
Mend Condition
Divine Boon
Rebirth / Remove Hex for PvP possibilities
Plague Touch
Offering of Blood {E} Some notes:

1. Don't play Bond builds in Comp Arena. She will often be the only monk and when she dies (which tends to happen easier to Bond monks due to less healing/protection) she is ressed with 15 energy and NO ONE has their enchantments. I also caution against Bond Monk for Team Arenas.

2. In small arena play if she goes Divine Boon there is NO better hex remover than Contemplation of Purity for herself. Works really well if she takes Guardian too.

3. In small arena take Mend Ailment over Mend Condition OR follow #4.

4. Drop Mend X for Draw Condition. She wants to plague touch? Give her ammo. Note: Plague touch is not free and does chew up some energy.

5. In PvE take Blessed Signet, especially early game when it will be her prime source of energy (along with Balthazar's Spirit).

Other than that the build would work fine in PvE and PvP. My recommendation is standard Bond build for PvE, fun Touch build for Comp Arena and work on a better 8v8 build (Bond build may work in GvG just fine).

Standard PvE Pre-Ascension Bond Build:

Reversal of Fortune
Guardian
Mend Ailment/Draw Condition
Blessed Signet
Signet of Devotion/Divine Boon/Plague Touch
Life Bond
Balthazar's Spirit
Res of choice (I would NOT use Rebirth)

I assume you are aware with Balthazar's Spirit on herself and Life Bonds on anyone getting hit, even if the redirected damage is reduced to zero she still gets energy? The above Draw Condition and Plague Touch are not part of the standard build, I worked them into the list for your purposes of having a fun aspect to your wife's monk.

I still think Rebirth is the king of PvE resurrection[not pvp for obvious reasons]. Well, that's a pretty strong build ya got there. Shouldn't go Bond ya say? Ok then. Balthasar's Spirit LB has been a classic combo I've heard about and I'm guessing will work wonders with Guardian in there as well. Thanks a chunk for the input! ^_^

A prot monk not using maintained enchantments is tricky for me to come up with though if you say to not use LB. hmm...

edit**

Ok, did some quick checking and came up with this monstrosity! ^_^ [decided to go for the boon prot setup. Might as well go for broke...]

10+1+1 Protection Prayers
10+1 Divine Favor
11 Blood Magic
12/11/11 kerpow build!

Reversal of Fortune
Draw Conditions
Blessed Signet
Life Bond
Balthazar's Spirit
Divine Boon
Offering of Blood {E}
Plague Touch

Now she can heal, move conditions, and not have to worry about energy if she's running for maintained enchantments. With 3 e. managers in there, spamming RoF to heal through Divine Boon shouldn't be an issue I'm thinking.

For PvP, anti-everything build... Except for spike healing...

same stats

Reversal of Fortune
Spirit of Protection
Draw Conditions
Convert Hexes
Remove Hex
Divine Boon
Offering of Blood {E}
Plague Touch

Since hexes can move in multiple flavors, both hex killers are in. Draw Conditions feeds Plague Touch. With no maintained enchantments other than Divine Boon, I'm hoping that Offering of Blood at 11 Blood Magic would give back enough energy to keep things moving. No real major defensive measures aside from Spirit of Protection however... I'm hoping this will do the duty of keeping everyone from being hindered due to hexes, and conditions, and sudden spike damage. I'll leave dps damage to the healing regen people...

I agree with just about everything in Vexed Arcanist's post, especially his notes. His build is good, but there is more flexibility in some of the slots that I won't go into here. The real difference of opinion is that I would run Rebirth.

I'm on your side. However, I understand his point. The only thing is, be aware that you will not be resurrecting anyone ever, if possible. When you cast Rebirth, all your enchantments will come tumbling down because of your energy degeneration and it could take a while to get it back up. For this reason, let anyone else resurrect if possible and leave Rebirth for when you are the last one standing. Last one standing happens a lot in pve. In PvE, a monk can afford to bring a res, usually... At least, in my experience gaming...
