The RoD Bonder was built for PvP and maximizes the protective capabilities of the monk along with the ability to generate damage. Although Smithing Prayers are not effective for dealing damage, this build uses the bonder's flexible slots to deal some damage, while still healing with divine boon and several protection spells. This build is relatively flexible because it can switch to a more damage dealing or a more protective version.

[edit] Equipment

1. A normal set: a 20/20 Protective Icon and a +5 energy weapon with an +20% enchanting mod.
2. A high energy set: a 15/-1 Protective Icon with +45 hp while enchanted and a halves casting 20% protective wand with 15/-1.
3. A low energy set: any pvp shield with +45 hp while enchanted and an axe, inscribed with -5 energy (and 15% damage)

[edit] Usage

• Apply Life Bond to your party. Keep it up at all times.
• Apply Balthazar's Spirit to yourself.
• When the fight starts, apply divine boon and use both reversal skills for minor heals (when your allies go under 85%)
• Only use Zealous Benediction when your party members go under 50% health. This will usually recover them to over 85% health, because of the divine boon bonus.
• Do not forget to use Blessed Signet whenever you are not casting.
• If you run low on energy (<25% of max), either wait for recharge, or remove divine boon and continue with healing with Zealous Benediction. Switch to high energy set only when absolutely needed.
• If you have skills such as Panic, Wither and Malaise on you, switch to your low energy set. Be aware of the damage Wither and Malaise now inflict.

[edit] Counters

• Standard Bonder and Monk Counters
• Conditions, since you do not carry condition removal (see variants)

[edit] Variants

• Divine Boon is your flexible slot. Do keep in mind that you reduce healing power when you replace it.
• Swap out Smite Hex for other hex removal skills, such as Inspired Hex or Holy Veil
• If there are several healers in your party, you should tend more to smithing prayers, by swapping Zealous Benediction for Shield of Judgment and Divine Boon for a preferred skill. For a hex pressure team, this could be Scourge Healing or Scourge Enchantment.
• Replace Zealous Benediction for Restore Condition if you need less healing, but condition removal.
• Replace Smite Hex for Protective Spirit or Shield of Absorption to protect from spikes.
