[edit] Equipment

For a wand, use any with a recharge increase, Gordac's Holy Rod is nice if you can get it. The same with a held item, go for one with a recharge such as a Protective Icon.

Go with the Ascetic's Armor.

[edit] Usage

The Unyielding PvE Monk is very versatile and easy to use:

Note: In PvE, have an ally bring Restore Life or Resurrect.

Cast Divine Boon as soon as you start.
During battle, wait until the ally has 3/4 HP before you cast Reversal of Fortune
Use Aegis, then Blessed Signet to regain some lost energy.
If an ally dies, use Unyielding Aura on them.
- At the end of the battle, let the enchanted ally die by disabling Unyielding Aura, then have the ally with Restore Life bring them back. Allies that die with Unyielding Aura on them do not get a Death Penalty.
While you maintain Divine Boon and Unyielding Aura, Blessed Signet will give you +6 energy.
If you are under attack use Guardian.

[edit] Weaknesses

Can be shattered!
Casting time of Unyielding Aura can leave teammates vulnerable.
You cannot resurrect more than one ally per battle and have enough energy to keep protecting.
If you die, people who you have enchanted die also.
