Equipment

• Herald's or Ghost Forge Insignias, depending on how you play.
• 40/40 sets in restoration and channeling, shield sets as needed.

Usage

• Use Spirit Rift and Glaive to kill their npcs, recap, and possibly even distract their monks for a second or two. Create a mini spike by precasting Glaive, casting Rift, waiting two seconds, and dropping Glaive and the newly recharged copy at the same time.
• Keep life on recharge, put it behind things so it is harder to kill.
• Heal as needed with Spirit Light and MBaS, and make sure to WoW the turtle if he is being interrupt spammed.
• Use Well to deal with excessive enchant spam which keep npcs up. Always have Well up for Gunther/Juggernaut, ask an ally to suicide close to them if you need to.

Counters

Excessive Pressure, too many monks on the other team, general caster counters.

Variants

• Weapon of Warding (PvP) can be swapped out for Weapon of Shadow, although often the melee pressure is minimal, and any ranger attacking you can just spam mtouch to counter the blind.
• More or less healing/damage can be added depending on preference.
• Preservation (PvP) works well instead of Destructive was Glaive (PvP) for Fort Aspenwood where you need larger healing.
