This build is a bonder variant designed to allow one bonder to maintain two enchantments on every member (except himself) of an 8 member party. While the use of Scribe's Insight precludes the use of Life Barrier, Life Attunement and Vital Blessing make for very useful supporting bonds.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Monk/Mesmer Divine=11+1+3 Protection=10+2 Inspiration=10][Signet of Devotion][Ether Signet][Blessed Signet][Scribe's Insight][Mantra of Inscriptions][Life Bond][Vital Blessing][Rebirth][/build]

Equipment

 * Any armor with a radiant insignia set. Extra energy gives more breathing room for upkeep.
 * A +20 energy staff is strongly recommended for the same reason.

Usage

 * Cast your enchantments on team members.
 * Renew bonds during breaks in combat, not while fighting. Risking your life to renew a bond risks the bonds on everyone.
 * Keep Mantra of Inscriptions and Scribe's Insight active at all times.
 * Always be spamming your signets to keep energy up.

Counters

 * Enchantment removal
 * Rust and Nature's Renewal
 * And the usual bonder counters (interrupts, aggro, etc.)

Variants

 * Consider replacing Vital Blessing with Life Attunement to make the healer's job much easier.
 * Watchful Spirit, while not that powerful, is another valid option for a second enchantment. The on-removal effect can also be useful.
 * While it's unorthodox, using Mending and Watchful Spirit together provides a reasonable party-wide HP gain.
 * When not traveling with or bonding all 7 other party members, consider replacing Ether Signet with Signet of Rejuvenation.
