Attributes and Skills

 * The optional slot should be filled with one of the following
 * Shielding Hands can be used to follow up Shield of Regeneration to reduce most damage to zero.
 * Shield of Absorption is effective against fast-paced spikes, as it builds up damage reduction rapidly.
 * Aegis is a decent choice as well, though its high energy cost may throw the build out of rhythm.
 * Guardian is a good spammable spell, as it will allow you to heal for a small amount and prevent damage. Remember that in HA, both this and Aegis can be rendered useless against BoA sins that bring Expose Defenses.
 * If you have a dual monk team, Spirit Bond may also be acceptable. Otherwise, its' only advantage over Guardian is the quick casting time.
