Part 56

Enchantment Buster: This skill can increase your effectiveness in PvE by allowing you to maintain another enchantment for free or cast more spells. It's particularly useful for Monks who tend to stay at a distance where enchantment busters will fail to hit them. Consider casting it on Fire Elementals using close-range skills like Inferno and Lava Font to increase their energy regeneration. This is the second favorite Monk elite for some players, but healers might prefer Word of Healing.

Protective Bond: This skill from the Protection Prayers attribute costs 10 energy, takes 2 to cast, has no recharge, and maintains for 1 energy upkeep. It prevents an ally from taking more than 5% of their maximum life from a single instance of damage. However, you lose 6 to 4 energy when damage is prevented. If you cannot afford the energy cost, the enchantment ends. It has extremely high energy maintenance and is mostly useful for soloing. A patch note indicates it now takes 3 energy upkeep at level 17, making it a relic unless a workaround is found.

Protective Spirit: Also from Protection Prayers, this skill costs 10 energy, casts in 0.75 seconds, and has a 5-second recharge. For 5 to 19 seconds, it prevents an ally from losing more than 10% health from a single attack or spell. It has decent duration and effects but does not protect against all forms of damage, especially high-damage attacks.

Purge Conditions: This skill costs 5 energy, casts in 0.25 seconds, and has a 30-second recharge. It removes all negative conditions from one ally. It's a useful early condition removal skill, despite its high recharge time.

Purge Signet: This signet skill costs 0 energy, casts in 3 seconds, and has a 30-second recharge. It removes all conditions and hexes from a target ally, but you lose 10 energy for each one removed, making it potentially detrimental.

Rebirth: This Protection Prayers elite skill costs 10 energy, casts in 6 seconds, and has no recharge. It revives a dead ally and teleports them to your location, reducing your energy to zero. The revived ally's skills are disabled for 4 to 10 seconds. It's a standard revival skill but requires careful use. Avoid using it in crowds where the revived ally will likely die again, or when you are the only monk and need to heal. It is best used when you've retreated and enemies are not present, or as a secondary monk supporting a ranged attacker, provided you communicate its use.

Remove Hex: This skill costs 5 energy, casts in 2 seconds, and has a 7-second recharge. It removes one hex from a target ally. It's a cheap and effective way to remove hexes, recommended for hex-heavy areas.

Restore Condition [Elite]: This elite skill from Protection Prayers costs 5 energy, casts in 0.75 seconds, and has a 2-second recharge. It removes all conditions from a target ally and heals them for 5 to 58 life for each condition removed. It's considered the best condition remover but is an elite skill, not recommended unless you specialize in hex/condition busting.

Restore Life: This Healing Prayers skill costs 10 energy, casts in 8 seconds, and has no recharge. While standing over a dead ally, it revives them with 26% to 45% health and 42% to 80% energy. It takes a long time to cast and requires you to be positioned over the ally, but the revived ally returns with significant health and energy, unlike with Rebirth. It is more useful with two monks in a party.
