User:Saranis/Monk Builds/Zealous Guardian

Description Zealous Guardian uses Glyph of Lesser Energy to offset some of the high energy skills involved with the Protection Prayers line. Most noteably Zealous Benediction and Aegis.

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
Focus for the most part removing conditions or hexes while casting guardian on those who are being focused on by melee attackers.

When using Aegis use Glyph of Lesser Energy prior to doing so and follow up with Zealous Benediction on any ally below 50% health for a gain of 10 energy.

Counters

 * Daze and Interupts
 * Repeated Knockdown can be a pain so if a hammer war comes cast Guardian on yourself.
 * Energy Denial.

Variants

 * Might consider swaping out Shield of Absorption for Protective Spirit
