Let's say I have a 55 monk and I'm soloing. If I were cast Protective Spirit and then Shielding Hands, would I take no damage? That's presuming I have enough points in Protection Prayers.

And by the way, this is my first post, so I'm sorry if I'm breaking the rules or not providing enough information.

yep. You'll take no damage.

Note the duration of Shielding Hands though: 10s
Note the recharge on Shielding Hands: 25s

That's why this skill isn't ubiquitous on solo monk builds.

what you really need is an axe that grants +40% duration to enchantments.

Yep, so if you take the +150% Enchantments staff, you'll own.

I guess what I forgot to add is what if you had Glyph of Renewal in addition to Blessed Aura (increased monk enchants) and maybe the +40% enchanting axe?
I'm seeing Shielding Hands Staying staying up around 17 seconds with a high enough Divine Favor and the casting time of glyph and shielding hands is under 2 seconds (I think). So, if shielding hands was up forever, presuming you had the energy, would you need healing breeze and/or mending?
