This boon prot variant relies on Melandru's Resilience for energy management. It is particularily useful in outhealing warriors and rangers that cause conditions, as well as life-draining necromancers. This build is recommended for the Arenas only.

[edit] Attributes and Skills

Monk / Ranger	Attribute Rank
Wilderness Survival	10
Protection Prayers	10 + 1
Divine Favor	11 + 1 + 3

Contemplation of Purity

Holy Veil

Melandru's Resilience

Divine Boon

[edit] Equipment

Since you aim for suffering from conditions, you should at least wear the chest piece of Disciple's Armor.
A weapon set containing a Staff which halves recharge of Protection Prayers and a focus of +1 Divine Favor/+30 health will come handy.
Most other weapon sets will do.

[edit] Usage

General monk guidelines to PvP apply. See the Monk's Guide for details.

Before the game starts, precast Divine Boon, as well as Holy Veil on the players in your team which are most vulnerable to Necromancer Hexes. Drop Holy Veil if the opposing team does not have any Necromancers. This is a general Monk guideline.
Have yourself enchanted with Protective Spirit as often as neccessary, so you won't take as much damage from skills which depend on a conditioned target e.g. Axe Rake and Gash.
Maintain Divine Boon to outheal health degeneration or general damage.
Use Draw Conditions to clear your party members from conditions and gain the bonuses from Melandru's Resilience.
Do not maintain Divine Boon while buffing your team with Protective Spirit, in case of enemy spikes. After Protective Spirit is cast on all team members, recast Divine Boon to outheal the spike, if possible.
Only remove really serious hexes and conditions from yourself such as Soul Leech, Backfire and Dazed. Daze removal may require use of Contemplation of Purity.

[edit] Counters

Teams which do not cause conditions and hexes (such as most spikes) render Melandru's Resilience useless.

[edit] Variants

For team build majorly consisting of weak-armored characters, swap Protective Spirit for Spirit Bond.
If you find you don't need Contemplation of Purity to mend yourself, take Shielding Hands or Divine Spirit instead.
