User:Rastamon/buildarchive/Build:Mo/E ZB Glyph Monk

This build uses the Monk elite skill Zealous Benediction to provide excellent healing for a party. It uses the Elementalist skill Glyph of Lesser Energy for energy management, allowing the ability to use high energy cost skills such as Aegis to provide party-wide protection.

Equipment

 * Any weapon can be used with this build, providing you meet its requirements.
 * As with any caster build, it is preferred that you take a High, Medium, and Low energy set.
 * Recommended upgrades for your weapon include of Enchanting and of Fortitude suffix upgrades, and "I Have the Power!" inscriptions.

Usage

 * Your primary healing skill is Gift of Health. It should be used on targets above 50% Health.
 * Use Reversal of Fortune as an immediate damage prevention, as well as healing, from the next attack.
 * Remove harmful conditions with Dismiss Condition. Note the healing bonus on enchanted targets.
 * Enchant allies with Shield of Absorption for damage reduction.
 * Zealous Benediction should be used to heal targets under 50% Health.
 * Use Glyph of Lesser energy before casting Aegis to reduce its high energy cost.
 * Holy Veil should be used to remove hexes. (cast and remove)
 * Note that using Zealous Benediction on targets below 50% while under the effects of Glyph of Lesser Energy will actually result in net energy gain.

Counters

 * Energy denial, while not as dangerous as it is on other builds, can still pose a problem with this build.
 * Diversion can be particularly devastating, as it can shut down a skill for a long duration.

Variants

 * For a heavier focus on damage mitigation against pressure swap Gift of Health for Shield of Absorption
 * Dismiss Condition can be replaced with another condition removal skill of your choice.
 * As with all Zealous Benediction builds, Purge Signet can be used.
 * Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit are fairly interchangeable.
