Im not sure if this has been done before/posted, so I thought id share it with you all. Its a normal mo/me bonder except I threw in arcane

echo for aegis, resulting in about 22 seconds of all party members getting 50% chance to block attacks.

Armor isnt that important..but i use the ascetic set for extra energy.
I use a sup prot and a sup div favor, along with a prophet's scalp design for divine favor +1

Attribute points:
I have completed only one of the 15 exp quests
Inspiration magic 9
Protection Prayers 15
Divine Favor 12

Skills:

Blessed Signet (energy management)
Life Bond (reduces damage by 50%)
Life Barrier (reduces damage by 50% with 15 prot)
Arcane Echo (for copying aegis)
Aegis (50% block for party members)
Mantra of inscriptions (40% faster recharge for signets)
Rebirth (to rez)
Signet of Capture - I put this here to represent the extra slot you have. You can use something like guardian or healing touch if you wish.

This build is pretty easy to use. You can just have the normal bond routine, life bond/life barrier. I usually maintain 9 bonds. Keep

mantra of inscriptions up so that blessed signet recharges quicker. In order to use the Arcane Echo/Aegis combo thingie, you need at least

30 energy (provided that you don't have any energy degen yet). This build is all about timing. Once you master this, you can just stay

back, double cast aegis, and help your healer monk out a whole lot, or help prevent loads of damage to your bonded party members. As with

all enchantment builds, any kind of enchantment removal will cause it to fall apart. So if you spot enchantment removing foes, cast aegis so

that aegis is removed and not your precious bonds.

i know you have Blessed Sig, but lacking an active energy management for bonding? i'd think that'd be too tricky to maintain a good ammount of energy especially if you're echoing aegis = 45 energy to do that, while maintaining bonds.

I'm casting Ignorance!

  mattteoh on 07/15/06 00:39

you can cast blessed signet between arcane echo, aegis, and aegis copy

  cswella on 07/15/06 01:15

I'd suggest taking Arcane Echo out and equipping wand/offhand set with 40% reduction in recharge.

But I am curious, have you used this build in high-level areas? It seems that if you maintain 9 bonds, you're stressing yourself too much in the energy department. How about if you put Balth's Spirit in place of the cap sig? Then you gain energy every time someone with Life Bond gets hit.

  Kami No Kei on 07/15/06 01:15

You might be casting Ignorance... but most enemies around aren't. And I get the feeling this is a Standard PvE bonder. Bonders don't get as much action in PvP nowadays anyways - still some, but not too much.

  mattteoh on 07/15/06 02:27

this is definitely PvE..i doubt it would survive in PvP...

balths spirit can be put in for the cap sig. that is an alternate i forgot to mention..by constantly casting blessed sig, you can remain at decent amount of energy at all times

yes..i have..you just have to keep your energy up and time your Arcane Echo/Aegis (30 energy) right..if you have at least 40, you can pull it off and still have time to use a blessed sig.

  mattteoh on 07/15/06 02:32

another thing i forgot to mention..if your party is really in a crunch..you can cast a third aegis after the aegis copy :D

  Unbeatable on 07/15/06 05:32

Put balthazars spirit in there and you can maintain 10+ bonds (use it on yourself)

  Smrt on 07/15/06 16:37
 
Yeah. Balth spirit gives you energy everytime energy is redirected at you from Bond.

And, rebirth may not be the best thing to use for rez. Since it takes all your energy it will zap out most of your enchants. Even though you may only have to use this during downtimes between fighting. It still stinks to recast 6+ enchants everytime someone dies. Much easier to go with Ressurect or Restore Life.

  Inferno_of Glory on 07/15/06 19:19

bonders are useless in pvp thx to order of apostasy.

  Yidd on 07/16/06 07:27

thank god noone uses it thou..

  Solicity on 07/18/06 16:10

have you tried taking balths spirit and using it on yourself? all the damage redirected from Life Bond will give you 1 energy, which should make things easier for you.
