Runes: +4 protection prayers (sup + head gear)
+1 divine favor)
Use:
Simple protection build.
Just use the spells on the person you want to protect
or give your heroes this build.

Use glyph allways or at least as much as possible before casting Shield of regen.

I've taken to replacing Shielding Hands with Protective Spirit. It works differently and has a higher energy cost, but can be cast on more people (much shorter recharge time) if your party is misbehaving themselves. Of course, if they're being that naughty you could always just let 'em die...
