User:404notfound/Build:Mo/any Active Prot

This is a basic PvE active prot build designed to fit most general situations. Note that, because it is meant to protect and not to heal, it is best used in large parties alongside a full healer.

[build prof=mo/any pro=12+3 div=12+1+1][Protective Spirit][Shield of Absorption][Reversal of Fortune][Guardian][Dismiss Condition][Deny Hexes][Boon Signet][Rebirth][/build]

Equipment

 * Extra energy from radiant armor is useful.
 * A protection staff with 20% longer enchantments and extra energy, such as Kepkhet's Refuge, is optimal for this build.
 * Note the nonstandard combination of a divine favor headpiece and a protection superior rune.

Usage

 * Use Protective Spirit followed by Shield of Absorption (in that order) on a player to make them nigh invulnerable for a few seconds.
 * With the various enchantments this build packs, Dismiss Condition can serve as a heal in addition to its condition removal abilities.
 * Cast Boon Signet after your enchantments to recover some of the cost. Alternatively, keep enchantment-heavy party members (elementalists, dervishes) in mind for when you need energy but can't afford to throw up some enchantments first.

Counters

 * Heavy enchantment removal will render this build useless, although in most cases Reversal of Fortune and Guardian can be quickly thrown up as cover enchantments for Protective Spirit or Shield of Absorption.

Variants

 * Use Pensive Guardian in place of Guardian for areas populated by enchantment-using enemies.
 * Consider a substitute hex removal for Smite Hex. Holy Veil is a popular non-elite option.
