I could use some advice on gearing up a bit. I run a bit of an odd build, not quite on the recommended list. The Face Tank – 0/0/30/30/10.
Note: I currently use 2 Monk, 2 Water, 2 Monk (Major) for 40% boon duration[yes, it works] +10% from traits = 50%. Permanent protection without requiring the extended duration trait. Which lets me instead go for the wider AoE Trait. [My Warrior friends love me.]
Second Note: Named so because I’ve run AC so many times I now pop SyG and HtL and Face Tank Khoeler’s entire attack routine. For fun. 
My 8 skill is generally one of: Wall of Reflection, Purging Flames, Stand your Ground, or Retreat! depending on the fight mechanics. Sometimes “Save Yourselves!”. [Especially against flame throwers or Ice breath since Wall won’t help.]
I typically swap out scepter/focus for staff when I need ranged.

My questions mostly pertain to Ascended Gear. Is it worth using outside of fractals? What rings should I get? There are no “Knight’s” ascended rings, and I don’t think they can use jewels either? (Or can they?)
I’m really debating on using Solaria / Lunaria (all stats), or going with Red Ring of Death / Bagh Nak (Power, Prec, Crit Damage). The former to give me enough Vit to use my Knight’s Hammer, the latter to help increase my lack of attack/damage while using Magi.
I’m not sure which is the better idea. Or are the ascended just bad for us? [It really seams to me that I will be losing crit % no matter what Ascended I go with, and that is one stat I really want to boost most.]
