Preface
I'm far from being a backline specialist, but I do enjoy monking every now and then. This Arena Monk is a pretty solid setup in my humble opinion. I only have a PvP Monk so no perfect gear either. The main weakness of the skill bar is Condition Control. While Mending Touch has the great property of removing 2 conditions, the touch-range requirement is quite a hassle sometimes as well as its inability to deal with condition spamming such as BSurge/Oppressive Gaze.

Attributes

 * 14 Healing Prayers (12+1+1)
 * 8 Protection Prayers (7+1)
 * 8 Divine Favor (8+0)
 * 8 Tactics

Variants

 * A variant of a monk is a completely different monk bar usually.

Equipment
If I had perfect gear I would run this


 * Disciple Insignias on Chest and legs
 * Survivor on the Rest
 * Q7/15 AL Tactics Shields
 * 40/40 heal
 * 40/20/20 Prot staff
 * Spear of Fortitude + Tactics Shield
 * 20/20 Heal High set
 * I like having a daze rune personally (and Daze Shield in inventory)
 * Bunch of vitae runes will do it other than that.

Usage

 * Self-explanatory
 * Pre-veil 2/3 people on your staff set before the game begins (Frontline, you and/or other physical(s)). If pre-veiling was useful before the game, then do it during the game.
 * Have the decency to cast Guardian on your allies when they need it.
 * Don't accept baseless flaming directed towards you, most RA players suck hard and do not even know that. Point that fact out, a good monk can't carry a team of noobs very long.
 * Make sure you cover your pre-veil with guardian and/or patient spirit when the veiled ally(ies) are at risk of being enchant stripped.
 * Fake Cast Cure Hex
