E/Mo Emo

Attributes
There's only one and a half heals for party members in Reversal and Guardian but the Life Bond does reduce damage by half. That doesn't include life steal and degen for obvious reasons. Guardian/Bonetti's is a classic energy management duo. YAA is for when you've got a single melee foe after your tail so hit it as soon as they're on you. Bonetti's and Guardian it up when theres more than one after you and then try and wait until they split. Also can be used to help the team out if you're being left alone, or theres no melee foes, with the -1 to attributes and anti-kiting abilities.

After all those points it will still struggle with hex/condition pressure, which there is usually a lot of in RA. Fun anyway. Nobody expects a monk to be using YAA and I know thats not a valid point in favour of the build but I like fun builds. Something interesting other than farming Fame.


 * OK, after using it a bit I have realised the following things:


 * 1) It's fun.
 * 2) Works reasonably well.
 * 3) YAA helps the party a lot as well as your own kiting and protection. Watching those sins trying to run away on <10% health, slapping cripple on them so your own warrior can take em down is the best.
 * 4) Worth a few laughs when you get comments like: "YAA on a monk? you are such a n00b/ing stupid/don't you have any good skills?/WTF?!?!?"
 * 5) Normally when you are getting pounded by a melee character, you tend to focus on keeping yourself alive and can't help the other party members. YAA + Guardian helps a lot with this as you can slap em both on and forget about em for a while.
 * 6) Diversion >>>>> this build. Seriously. As you've only got one and a half healing skills, losing one of them is usually extremely deadly. Bonds do help with this though but nowhere near enough.
 * 7) It's fun.
