D/any PvE Avatar Build

This is a practice page for my PvE AoD build. I've used it to H/H content for quite a long time and it's gotten me through all of my vanquisher runs and hard mode missions where 8 party members could be used. It revolves around pious assault + feeder enchantments to trigger continually trigger aoe healing for party support. It's more supportive/tanky in nature, so it needs help via weapon spells or cover fire. It does a good job of reducing party pressure and keeping up minon health. Attributes/Rune placement isn't optimal because I just copied the general set my character uses.

This is *not* supposed to be a VoS meta replacement.

Comparison to similar build (userpage only)
The most similar build gameplay wise would be the Pious Teardowns build currently under "great working general builds", as they both revolve around teardowns for consistent aoe damage. Though gameplay is similar, they revolve around a different set of skills. Compared to said Pious Teardowns, AoD Teardowns has these major differences

Pros:

Aoe party healing equal to ~18hp/s


 * Light self condition/hex removal (useful for quickly removing more detrimental issues like blind or empathy, or just free up the monk)


 * Some anti melee giving it more bulk

Cons:

You deal around 75-80% of the damage (I can get around 60dps with this build and 75dps with Pious Teardowns)


 * No deep wound


 * No stance removal

Neutral:


 * Fairly similar gameplay


 * Mostly the same counters
 * Very different skill set aside from Pious Assault and Pious Fury
