Equipment

 * A +5e PvP axe of Fortitude (or closest PvE variant} and a Protective Icon with +30 Health Focus Core and "Forget Me Not" Inscription.
 * Any staff with +10 armor and 20/20 Recharge/Casting Time Protection Prayers
 * A 15%/-5e axe or sword with a +20% Enchanting mod and a offhand or shield with +30 health. (Note: if using an offhand, be sure to not have the required attributes for it, and equip it with a "Ignorance is Bliss" inscription)
 * A +15/-1 wand and a +27/-1 offhand for emergency energy.

Usage
Start out by using Channeling and Hex Breaker, it will provide you with a steady amount of energy, while Hex Breaker will make the first hex cast upon you fail. Your main job is to protect your allies while being able to heal them if neccessary with Zealous Benediction. Zealous Benediction is a powerful elite that heals for the same amount as Heal Other or Jamai's Gaze, the only difference is that it is a free heal if the target is under 50% health and it comes out of the protection line. Make use of Protective Spirit to help prevent against spike damage.

Counters
Daze/Interuption - Same counters all monks face, but if you dont bring a condition removal, daze will be even more deadly. Lots of Pressure - This build was designed to protect against damage, and heal when needed, but alot of pressure will hurt because you only have 1 healing skill. Overextension - Tell other members in your team to try and stay somewhat close together.

Variants
To make the build more PVE-friendly, change Avatar of Melandru to Avatar of Balthazar. This change also works well for AB.

This build is a all out nightfall dervish build that can deal enough damage while sustaining loads of punishment. The damage output depends on what build you are going to use. Works well in PvP and PvE.

Equipment
Energy adding armor will do good. A +30health or a +20% enchantment weapon.

Usage
Start by using Mystic Regeneration followed by Conviction and Vital Boon. When already adjacent to the enemy start using Aura of Thorns then Dust Cloak. This build is great for countering warriors because of the blind, weakness and cripple conditions you can apply.

The first optional slot is for the attack skill. Reaper's Sweep, Crippling Sweep, Pious Assault or Vow of Strength can be placed there.

The second optional slot can either be a Res Sig/Sunspear Sig for PvE/PvP or another enchantment for your own purpose. Staggering Force is a great addition to this slot if you plan on countering meelee characters.

Usage
Same as the build above but uses Vow of Strength + Heart of Fury + Mystic Vigor for more damage and tanking.

Counters
Meelee countering hexes, Backfire and interrupts.
