Archive:N/Mo SoLS WoH Hybrid

This build uses reasonably high Soul Reaping for Energy Management, combined with the superior healing of WoH and several powerful Protection Prayers skills, to make a quite versatile build, excellent for Hard Mode and Elite Missions.

Usage

 * Use Signet of Lost Souls to gain health and energy when needed.

Counters
