Equipment

The Equipment Template for this build is: Pk5RRvCoBTaAgrW9r4mEO900mCODLbiJO7RZgFODrDnFONB

• A 40/40 Healing Prayers Set.
• A high energy set (a wand and focus with two 15/-1 mods).
• A Furious Spear of Defence (+5AL) with "Brawn over Brains" (-5 energy) inscription for hiding energy
• Disciple's Insignias, with a Rune of Superior Vigor and 2 Runes of Vitae.
• A Spear + Shield set with +5 energy and +5 Armor on the spear, along with a 10% chance to gain double adrenaline. You should have a variety of max Q7/Q8 Tactics shields, with all of the various +10 vs. damage (fire, lightning, piercing, slashing, etc.) mods.

Usage

• Constantly auto-attack in your spear set (tab+spacebar) when not casting to build adrenaline for Bonetti's Defense.
• Cast Healing Burst on targets that will allow you to get full heal. Spam it to counter pressure.
• Use Signet of Rejuvenation for a backup heal and energy management.
• Use Patient Spirit when Healing Burst and Signet of Rejuvenation are simply not enough, or when you want to avoid using Healing Burst as much as possible to avoid interrupts.
• Use Bonetti's Defense to avoid physical damage and possibly serve as energy management. You can even use this to prevent Ranger interrupts. If it is charged and you don't seem to be needing it much to stop melee opponents, throw up a Bonetti's before casting Burst to help avoid a Distracting Shot from a Ranger.
• Use Spotless Mind to keep your teammates clean of hexes. You do not need to cast this in your enchantment extending set unless you have weakness on you (it already lasts 15 seconds at 15 Healing, which is enough to remove exactly 3 hexes over time), use your 40/40 set and defensive set appropriately.
• Use Cure Hex for hex removal and a strong heal.
• Use Draw Condition to keep the party free of conditions, bring Mending Touch to remove these conditions if necessary.

Counters

• Standard anti-Monk counters
