Uses pious haste, armor of sanctity, and aura of thorns to take consistent 0 damage.(ala stoneflesh aura, or SoA/SH)

not sure what else to say.
usage should be apparent.
one rule:
NO DEGEN MONSTERS
degen=haha you just got pwned

EDIT:d/mo doesnt use full attribs, idk why i did that =/. so dotn comment on that please

If there is degen, just replace pious haste by mystic regen.

then it doesnt work
you need pious haste to deactivate aura and keep the condition... condition going.

I believe it depends on what you apply first.

Also

When in doubt

Life Seath + prot.

all prot spirit bullshit builds are "55's", even if they have 600 health, imo.

I tested this a while back and I could not get Aura of Thorns to count after PS no matter what I did. I believe the "it depends on the casting order" rule only applies to monk spells. I spent a lot of time 55 Derving (or 105 or 125 or whatever it is) back when NF came out, and in my experience the only reason to use one is if you don't have a 55 monk.

This doesn't work, Sanctity comes before Prot Spirit... it's how I got my survivor Dervish killed.

must...start...petition...to...anet...... lol? +25 hp is nothing and balance doesn't mean that everything is the same. Just that skills are balanced out to eachother.

The +25 is useless imo. You fail at whining.

And you all fail on failing. Why waste points on Mo/D if you can go pure Prot/Smite/Divine and use Prot Spirit + SoA + Shielding Hands? You can get 0 dmg all the time with right timing.
