This arena build is designed to help mitigate damage in PvP while providing a somewhat steady heal, and doesn't take any points away from Protection Prayers, allowing the player to focus more.

Equipment

 * Weapon: +5e Spear of Fortitude/Enchanting (whichever you prefer). Offhand: +30hp 20% recharge Protective Icon.
 * Weapon: Protective Staff: 20% Recharge/ 20% Cast Time +10 AL
 * Weapon: 15/-5e Spear of Fortitude/Enchanting (whichever you prefer). Offhand: +30/-5 Shield.
 * Weapon: 15/-1 Protective Rod with 20% recharge. Offhand: +27/-1 Protective Offhand with +30hp.

Usage
Start out by using Hex Breaker, it will make the first hex cast upon you fail, and this is invaluable. Your main job is to protect your allies while being able to heal them if necessary with Zealous Benediction. Zealous Benediction is a powerful elite that heals for the same amount as Heal Other or Jamei's Gaze, but the differences are that Zealous Benediction is a near free heal if the target is under 50% health, it can be self targeted and it comes out of the protection line. Make use of Protective Spirit to help prevent against spike damage.

Counters

 * Daze/Interruption
 * Knockdown
 * Signet of Humility
 * Energy Denial

Variants

 * Dismiss Condition can be replaced with Mend Condition or Mend Ailment.
 * Shield of Absorption can also fill one of the Optional Slots as it synergizes with Protective Spirit very nicely
 * Inspired Hex or Revealed Hex can replace Holy Veil if you find energy to be a problem.
 * Channeling.
