User:Rastamon/buildarchive/Build:Mo/Me Blessed Light Bond Monk

Having Blessed Light as multi-purpose skill, this bonder sacrifices some energy management for better Hex and Condition removal via use of Blessed Light. The unconditional heal and increased self-healing make it very sustainable.

Equipment

 * Ascetic's Armor or Acolyte's Armor
 * Any weapon or focus item with 20/20 recharge on Divine Favor spells.
 * Any weapon or focus item with +1/20 chance on increased Divine Favor when using skills.

Usage
This build is played similiarly to any other bonding build.
 * Start by casting Life Bond on 4 members of the party. Then use Mantra of Inscriptions.
 * Follow up with Blessed Signet.
 * Cast Life Bond on the rest of the party and Balthazar's Spirit on yourself.
 * While your party is in combat, so long as they take physical damage, you will have a very steady supply of energy.
 * If your energy supply is high, use Blessed Light to remove hexes and conditions while healing your target.
 * Otherwise for healing your party, use Signet of Devotion.
 * Replace Life Bond as quickly as possible if removed.
 * When a party member is low on life, use Reversal of Fortune first, then Blessed Light for a quick and effective heal.
 * Use Blessed Signet whenever you are down to half of your energy. Keep Mantra of Inscriptions up all the time.
 * Self-sustained you can support Life Bond on up to 9 characters.

Counters

 * Ignorance is a major counter to this build.
 * Energy denial / skill denial / enchantment removal.
 * Damage spikes can render you helpless, especially if you're caught casting Blessed Signet.
 * Hexes like Rust can be devastating if not removed properly.

Variants

 * You may wish to replace Resurrect with a different resurrection skill such as Resurrection Signet, Sunspear Rebirth Signet, or even Light of Dwayna.
