The RC Prot (also active prot) monk uses his high Protection Prayers rank and condition/hex removal to keep the team safe. This build is recommended for Heroes' Ascent.
Attributes and Skills
| Monk / Mesmer | Attribute Rank |
| Protection Prayers | 12 + 1 + 3 |
| Divine Favor | 9 + 1 |
| Inspiration Magic | 9 |
| Shield of Absorption | Reversal of Fortune | Protective Spirit | Restore Condition | Inspired Hex | Holy Veil | Aegis | Channeling |
Usage
Restore Condition and Protective Spirit are your main skills. The former removes all conditions at once and heals a significant amount, and the latter limits many kinds of spike damage.
Inspired Hex doubles as hex removal and energy management. It can be substituted for its duplicate skill Revealed Hex.
Holy Veil is a second hex removal. Most casters will cover important hexes, so it is nice to be able to remove more than one hex in a short time. Holy Veil can be replaced by Contemplation of Purity if the concern is mainly for the monk itself.
Aegis is very good against ranger, warrior and assassin heavy teams that attack more than one of your team mates at once.
Channeling is a fountain of energy. Just remember not to put yourself in too great a danger.

Notes
This build doesn't work as well in GvG, where Channeling isn't usually good energy management.
This build lacks direct healing, and is very prone to hex degen.
This build has no self-condition removal but works well with another monk with Draw Conditions
