Hello. I will continue to edit this page over the next couple of years so hopefully it will take on some semblance of a user pag.

[edit] Perma-Sin
I am laughing all the way to the bank with this nerf. Ectos are back at 5.5k so the price nearly doubled. You can still farm the chaos plains almost as good with a perma sin for 2 reasons. 1. Hex breaker was a stupid idea because.....Mindblade Spectres have 0 dom. This means that I have to wait...(Oh NO's) 5 secs before causing mass degen. 2. If you let sf go off then use a vampiric weapon to keep your health low MS won't break aggro when hit them with massive AoE. So just hit them with MoR and spam your 50% damage lava font and you will kill them only about 25% slower than before.....And ectos are 40% higher in price. :D. And as for the Mindflay Spectres and the Cursed dream riders.....don't kill them...it's that simple. So yeah the nerf basically equaled a 25% decrease in speed a 50% decrease in mobs and a 40% increase in ecto. I think that after everything is said and done I'm still coming away 10% better off then pre-nerf. :D
BTW I just sold 26 ectos for ~100k..all gotten with this build and most of them post-nerf. It only took me one week 2 ;D. Psychiatric Consultant 23:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Zealous Benediction Vs. WoH
Honestly, the main difference is whether you are prioritizing prot over heal. If you want a chep heal that's nearly as good as WoH (~30 point heal difference) but is 2 energy less go for ZB. That way you will have stronger prots and still have some gud healing ability, this is especially important for Arenas,ZB also gives you a stronger attribute spread because you can go pure prot. WoH is better in place where you want more healing/flexibilty and also want to be able to spec into healing prayers for other skills like Patient Spirit. It also heals for more when the conditional is met and has a 1 sec shorter rech. You can also go prot hybrid and be nearly as effective a protter as a pure. So in the end WoH is probably better OVERALL because of its flexibility. However, ZB is great for saving energy and stronger prots/better atts in secondary, such as /r /a or /w.

==My thoughts on the August 7th Update.
Way of the Assassin needs to be nerfed before all monks rageqit. Xinrae's weapon is nice and should stay as is. Most of the buffs were good...but some were just a TAD to tood. I mean Lyssa's Aura is just rediculous. I mean honestly Throw that on a flag runner in GvG with like one offensive skill and its Heal Party TIMe. Okay and AoD is like the most broken skill for HA now. A-Net might as well have put up an environment effect in HA that says "All enchantments used in HA expire immediately. We hate attunements, and prots, just run Sway okay." Scavenger's focus=infinite conc shot spam. The combination fo GSS, WotA, SF, and AoD makes me feel so, so, sorry for monks right now. I mean they need like a party-wide prot spirit to contend with this kind've pressure. Psychiatric Consultant

[edit] Izzy is a Complete Freaking Nut
After the August 21st update any respect as a skill balancer he had went out the window. Smiter's boon was a relatively balanced skill that may have needed a slight recharge increase so enchant removal would be an issue. However 45 healing per smiting spell does not justify a super nerf like this one. I think Izzy went into TA. Faced a balanced team with a smiter, got owned,then decided to nerf it to suit his overblown ego. Honestly, I think he should be fired for either being the worst skill balancer ever or being drunk or on hard drugs when he "balanced" smiter's boon.
