Walkthrough
- 1Resurrect
- Attribute: None
- 2Energy Cost: 10
- 3Casting Time: 8
- 4Recharge Time: 0
- 5Effect: Resurrect target ally with very little health and energy.
- 6Comment: This skill does have range, unlike restore life, but revives the fallen teammates with barely any health, making them easy bait for another immediate death should danger exist.
- 7Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Willem [Yak's Bend]
- 8Purchase from: Captain Osric [Yak's Bend]
- 9Retribution
- Attribute: Smiting Prayers
- 10Energy Cost: 10
- 11Casting Time: 2
- 12Recharge Time: 0
- 13Upkeep: 1 energy arrow
- 14Effect: While maintained, whenever target ally takes damage, 33% of it is dealt back to the attacker, maximum of 5 to 17 damage.
- 15Comment: Again, seems pretty worthless to me. At least this one doesn't eat extra energy, though the reflect damage caps far too low.
- 16Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Garemm [Ascalon City]
- 17Purchase from: Sir Bertran [Ascalon City]
- 18Reversal of Fortune
- Attribute: Protection Prayers
- 19Energy Cost: 5
- 20Casting Time: .25
- 21Recharge Time: 2
- 22Effect: The next time target ally would take damage, that ally gains that amount of life instead. That ally can only gain 15 to 67 life in this way.
- 23Comment: The bread and butter Protection Monk spell. Cheap, fast, spammable. Reversal of Fortune essentially two hits, assuming they do around the same damage. However, some smart players are able to anticipate when someone will get hit by this spell, and do two damage accordingly.
- 24Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Garemm [Ascalon City]
- 25Purchase from: Sir Bertran [Ascalon City]
- 26Scourge Healing
- Attribute: Smiting Prayers
- 27Energy Cost: 10
- 28Casting Time: 2
- 29Recharge Time: 5
- 30Effect: For 30 seconds, every time target foe is healed, the healer takes 15 to 67 holy damage.
- 31Comment: One of the better smiting skills, very effective against the annoying healer bosses spread throughout the game.
- 32Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]:
- 33Purchase from: Bartoch [Droknar's Forge]
- 34Scourge Sacrifice
- Attribute: Smiting Prayers
- 35Energy Cost: 10
- 36Casting Time: 2
- 37Recharge Time: 5
- 38Effect: For 8 to 18 seconds, every time a foe sacrifices life, that foe loses twice the normal amount. This skill now affects all adjacent targets.
- 39Comment: Useful against blood necromancers, not much else.
- 40Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Tyren [Droknar's Forge]
- 41Purchase from: Gammel [Copperhammer Mines]
- 42Shield of Deflection [Elite]
- Attribute: Protection Prayers
- 43Energy Cost: 15
- 44Casting Time: 2
- 45Recharge Time: 5
- 46Effect: For 5 to 10 seconds, target ally has a 50% to 70% chance to Evade attacks and gains 12 to 22 armor.
- 47Comment: Yet another wonderful Protection Monk elite skill. Shield of regeneration and Mark of Protection are probably better, but this one is nothing to be ignored.

- 50Capture From: Grun Galesurge [Ring of Fire]
- 51Shield of Judgment [Elite]
- Attribute: Smiting Prayers
- 52Energy Cost: 15
- 53Casting Time: 1
- 54Recharge Time: 45
- 55Effect: For 8 to 18 seconds, every time target foe is struck for physical damage, the dealer of the damage is knocked down, taking 5 to 41 damage.
- 56Comment: This skill is highly annoying. After being knocked down the first time, most people are not dumb enough to continue attacking the same target though. Still, knockdown is a great tactical advantage, so is forcing people to take up new targets.
- 57Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Dakk [Droknar's Forge]

- 59Capture From: Myd Springclaw [Mineral Springs]
- 60Shield of Regeneration [Elite]
- Attribute: Protection Prayers
- 61Energy Cost: 15
- 62Casting Time: 1
- 63Recharge Time: 20
- 64Effect: Target ally gains 3 to 9 health regeneration and 40 armor for 5 to 10 seconds.
- 65Comment: Another great elite protection skill. This one is my personal favorite, but it is a bit pricey. Still, if Lina uses it... how bad can it be?
- 66Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Dakk [Droknar's Forge]
- 67Purchase from: ---
- 68Capture From: Facet of Light [Dragon's Lair]
- 69Shielding Hands
- Attribute: Protection Prayers
- 70Energy Cost: 5
- 71Casting Time: .75
- 72Recharge Time: 25
- 73Effect: For 10 seconds, all damage incurred by target ally is reduced by 3 to 15 points.
- 74Comment: Very useful in the early stages of the game, easily being able to reduce all damage to zero. However, with the long recharge time and increasing amounts of damage taken later, this skill will quickly find its way out of your skill bar.
- 75Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Garemm [Ascalon City]
- 76Purchase from: Sir Bertran [Ascalon City]
- 77Signet of Devotion
- Attribute: Divine Favor
- 78Energy Cost: 0, signet
- 79Casting Time: 2
- 80Recharge Time: 5
- 81Effect: Heal target ally for 14 to 83 points.
- 82Comment: A skill which is getting more attention in both PvP and PvE as of late. Signet of Devotion is a slow Orison of healing which costs no energy. As such, it is backfire proof as well as some other skills. I would recommend this only as a third healing spell though, do not try and build your entire character around this.
- 83Unlock from [Needed only for PvP]: Narius [Henge of Denravi]
- 84Purchase from: Captain Greywind [Ascalon Settlement]
