Well i have seen quite a few different 55 Monk builds out there, and i have always like being able to take on a mass group and kill them all quite quickly, so i use my 55 monk quite often. Anyhow I was mucking around, having some fun and i decided to make a few changes to my build, mainly because i was sick of rockshots distracting my healing breeze while i was farming, so i went monk/mesmer, well to my suprise, this was one of the greatest changes i have made, rockshots failed to annoy me and farming became twice as fast, so without further yip yapping, here is my Build and my Guide on how to use it.....
What you will be "farming" with this build and where:
This Build is designed for Griffon and Minator farming, both of which are found in the desert near Augury Rock, however im sure you can use it to farm Mountain Trolls outside Droknars Forge Quite effeciently.
Skills:
Attributes:
You can mess around with the attributes as much as you like, but here is what i use:
Armor:
Ok basically whatever armor you want, you can use, however ascetics is easier for energy management, also whatever scalp design you want you can use the only important part about the armor is you have 5 superior runes, 1 of each type and 1 of your choice.
Equiptment:
For your equiptment basically the only item you definetly need is the Grim Cesta (this is a quest item from the quest "Cities Of Ascalon"), you can use an axe, a sword or a rod i use "Gordacks Holy Rod" for its skill recharge and casting improvement, alot of other people prefer swords or axes with a +20% enchantment mod on it.
Directions:
First off you will start at Augury Rock, leave out the west entrance that will take you into Prophets Path, once outside follow the map.
Method:
Ok this is the important part, first thing you will want to do when you step outside is cast Mending, Balthazars Spirit then Essence Bond. wait for a bit of regen, once thats done follow the path i have showed you in the map, you will come across a single rockshot. Before entering his agro circle use Protective Spirit, and just walk past it, once past this a group of 2-3 Minators will come charging down from the west in your direction, get them to follow you along the path set, while continuing to cast Protective Spirit when it is running out, once you reach point "A" on the map stop and wait for another 2-3 minators that will come from the south, while waiting its probably a good idea to start using Healing Breeze as well as Protective Spirit, also if rockshots are attacking you use Mantra Of Resolve before using Healing Breeze so they dont distract your skills. When the other group of minators from the south arrive cast a fresh protective spirit and healing breeze and then straight after that use Archane Echo, followed by Shield of Judgement, after that cast protective spirit and healing breeze again if they are running out shield of judgement lasts 18 seconds, archane echo lasts 20 seconds, so when your first shield of judgement starts to blink (running out) use your 2nd Shield Of Judgement (which was replaced by Archane Echo), at the same time making sure that protective spirit and healing breeze are still active. ok what ever group was around you should be dead before you 2nd SOJ ends, continue down the path shown to point "B" and lure the griffons in the area onto you and repeat the same process as above, Mantra Of Resolve if there are Rockshots around then Protective Spirit, Healing Breeze, Archane Echo, Shield Of Judgement, so on so forth. do the same for point "C" and thats all the griffons in the area, you are now griffon farming with ease.
Tips:
1. If there are enemies in your agro circle always make sure that Protective Spirit is active as this is what keeps you alive, without it you will die in 1 or 2 hits.
2. Always be on the look out for Rockshot Devourers, if they are in you agro circle use Mantra Of Resolve, or else you might be distracted using a key skill and die.
3. If there is only a group of 3 or less enemies attacking you i wouldnt bother maintaining Healing breeze, as a +4 Mending should keep you alive.
4. Always use an Identification Kit on Blue, Purple and Gold Items, as it gives there real value when selling to the merchant.
5. Dont farm end on end, give it a break from time to time, and remember to have fun!
Hope this Guide helps some people and please any constructive criticism is welcome.
