This build is designed to work in synergy with another healer monk. The fast casting time of shield of deflection enables this build to counter/ save spikes as it provides a decent boost of armour and high success rate of blocking attacks. However, if used right, this build can also keep a team alive in RA on its own.

Usage

The aim of the game isn't to spam Shield of deflection, only use it when you are just about to be spiked or going to save a spike. E.g. if you suddenly get a siphon speed on you, use it , or if you get expose defenses on you, use the 1 second aftercast time to quickly cast veil on you so that if they SP you, you can still block with SoD. Even if you don't block, the +al can be useful.

Your main skills are really RoF, GoH, soa and signet of devotion. Use deadly riposte to stop assassin chains or to block annoying melee attacks such as crushing blow etc.
