The Unyielding Sentinel destiny is a prime consideration for the tanking Monk, affording stances and defense benefits that will keep them nearly unkillable with the right tactics.
Unyielding Sentinel provides +4 Melee Power and +3 Ranged Power per innate ability, making it the most balanced destiny for any Monk that uses shuriken, bows, blades or fists. You also gain some spell point bonuses. CON bonuses can be taken as well.
This destiny provides one tier 1 ability that adds stacking fortification you may need for survival in Epic Elite quests and raids.
Vigor of Battle, an innate stance, gives +50 HP and +20 to Healing Amplification.
Unbreakable, the second innate stance, adds +5 Sacred bonus to Natural Armor and gives you the Diehard feat.
Stand Against the Tide, the third innate stance, gives +2 attack with additional threat generation, 5% to fortification and +1 to all saves, stacking up to four times.
Stalwart Guardian, the fourth innate destiny, gives another +50 HP, and another +50 HP if using Vigor of Battle stance.
Heed No Pain, the fifth innate stance, adds +10 PRR, and +20 additional PRR if using Unbreakable stance.
Steadfast, the sixth and final innate ability, adds +1 to attack and to all saves, and immunity from knockdown.
Shield Prowess normally doesn't work for any Monk (you can't wield a shield and remain Centered). But if you are wearing a regular or Flawless White Dragonscale Robe, this ability boosts your robe's Shield AC contribution.
Block Energy will absorb up to 30% of elemental damage while blocking.
Fanaticism gives weapons Law alignment and 1d6 Law damage to enemies of different alignments.
Healing Hands gives you the Lay on Hands feat and +25 Positive spell power.
Endless Lay on Hands adds more uses of Lay on Hands, allows regeneration and also increases its rate of regeneration.
Purify Weapon makes weapons Good aligned and gives 1d6 damage.
Spark of Life adds Deathblock to your armor.
Strength of Vitality adds up to 20% Insight bonus to your maximum hit points.
Resurrection gives you the most potent raise-dead ability as a spell-like ability.
Undying Vanguard, the destiny's epic moment, heals you for 1000 HP and gives you 10,000 temporary HP for 20 seconds.
Brace for Impact (tier 1) is a easy to twist 40% maximum stacking bonus to fortification. While Update 29 offers Insightful Fortification items, this ability can get you over 200 fortification when using such items.
