Talk:55 Monk

Shadow Form
Shadow Form looks like a good partner for a 55 monk, since the only negative aspect is Shadow Form reduces you down to 50hp when it ends. --222.149.161.33 14:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya, it's not to bad, but Spellbreaker would work also. Keep in mind that most 55 Monks are Mo/D for the Mystic Regeneration.-- §  Eloc   §  15:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, it isn't. No points are used to raise Spell Breaker to the max since points in Divine yields healing when monk skills are cast and causes Blessed Aura to make enchants last longer.  Shadow Form requires level 15 (impossible for monk primary) to only loose 5 health.  At level 12 you would loose all but 41 I believe.  Also, while it's up, you aren't gaining any energy from Balthazar's Aura.  Seems to be a bad deal all the way around.  As for mystic regen, A-Net effectively made HB in combination with Mantra of Resolve the best option for 55's. - IGN Thirteen Thirtysven  1529  13 March 2008

Pout
This article is completely rubbish, should actually be on a build site. Hammeh 19:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Build concepts according to Guild Wars Wiki:Policy/Builds are allowed. I did start something that I hope looks a bit like a guide/build concept here. Anyone is welcome to comment there. -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 20:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

This is a rather important build for Monks. Better to have an article, than not. --75.69.157.155 01:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Move
I suggested a move, but a redirect is possible too, perhaps even better. -- (CoRrRan / talk) 20:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I removed the move as the other page does not exist. --75.69.157.155 01:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Invincible? I think not!
They are far from invincible. If they were invincible, then they could fight anything, anywhere, anytime. For some examples, if there aren't enough enemys, energy can become scarce which means no. Another would be in Zaishen Challenge, the IWAY Warriors, can easily beat you from just damage alone.-- §  Eloc   §  08:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

If shielding hand is used you have a higher chance of surviving.

Invincimonk is just a name, it doesn't mean that the monk in invincible, and as said in the article, 55 monks do not do PvP. 86.140.87.108 19:43, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Not
Who cares, this page is very helpfull and accurate.

Chilblains
"Non-targeted enchantment removal such as Well of the Profane, Chilblains or Disenchantment cannot be countered."

This is no longer relevant for Chilblains. In addition to removing only 1 enchantment, it also became targeted, as of yesteday. Should we remove it from the list? Azo 09:35, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The enchant removal is still untargetted, only it's around a foe instead of around yourself so practically it would still remove an enchant off the 55monk if he is standing close enouth to an ally. Removing Chilblains from the list would imply that you're the only player on your party.
 * I think this is unverified, as far as I know, it is now a targeted spell, therefore, Spellbreaker will block it. :0) [[Image:UserDrago-sig.gif]]  Drago  15:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

what armour does a 55 monk use?
what armour does a 55 monk use?

starter or the highest? thats the only thing i still need to know.. thanks if u help --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Demon from holland (talk).
 * It doesn't really matter, but only the 600 Spirit Bond builds use specifically low armor. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 17:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 55 Monks just need to have any 5 Superior runes on (excluding Vigor). &mdash;  ク  Eloc  貢  22:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

what is a good build
do any of yall have a good build cuz i need one yall can pm me i am The God Of War Tray
 * Uh-huh. Because this article doesn't have enough ideas that one only needs an iota of motivation to actually make one of these for themselves. Take your pick from the skills under "basis," Mystic Regeneration for degen, and fill out the rest with the help of the Side Skill section. Chaiyo Kaldor 03:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Or just go to PvXwiki and look at the unfavored monk 55 builds. Justing6 13:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Mystic Regeneratoin needs to be removed from guide
A-Net effectively made this skill obsolete for the 55 with their double nerf. Not only does it work for only 3 enchantments (giving 9 verses HB's +7 at 8 healing prayers), it now recharges in 12 seconds (my duration is 13). So basically if you're interrupted once, you're screwed. A better option is to now bring Healing Breeze with Mantra of Resolve. This gives one the added flexibility of casting Spell Breaker only when needed and not having to worry about interruptes (for example in the UW with Aatxes/Graspings). - IGN: Thirteen Thirtysven 1539 on 13 March 2008 --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:138.162.0.43 (talk).
 * It's still viable for places where interrupts aren't a concern, and regens for more than Healing Breeze (as you said) at 8 Healing Prayers / 8 Earth Prayers. &mdash; Galil [[Image:User Galil sig.png|Talk page]] 05:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Gone back down to 5 second recharge. I get it lasting 13 seconds too, so it's quite handy.

Judge's Intervention: A 55's new best friend?
I've been reading around and found that J.I. works before P.S. is taken into effect. Sos almost any hit with low armor would activate it and deal 190 damage(at 16 Smiting). Plus with the recharge at 8 sec, would it not be a staple for every 55?? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:72.26.42.21 (talk).

only flaw I see is it only hits one enemy. if you are swarmed it might not do the damage you want. But with the low cost and fast cast time you might be able to pull it off. ~the rat~ --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:72.26.20.115 (talk).

 * I would assume Protective Spirit. Also, if you search PS, it gives you that and Plague Signet, which has very little application to this. -- Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 01:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

After death
Just reading what people do when they die whilst being a 55 Monk, and I remembered about what I usually do so i'd like to share it with you guys.

So firstly when you die you will end up with 1hp, then switch the -50hp grim cesta with a -20hp Divine Symbol (obtained from a quest in Pre-Searing Ascalon). You'd then have 13hp and only take 1 damager per hit whilst maintaining Protective Spirit. You can easily heal this instantly with Mending.

Hope it helps.

beginner farming
anyone suggest places where i can practice farming with my 55?
 * in hard mode in the tutorial --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:217.88.149.116 (talk).

Farhanur, the first city in hard mode is a great run for budding 55ers, give it a go, you make loads per run, but make sure you get the specialised build. Best of luck, happy farming ;-) Canarygeorge 20:02, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I farm at Fahanur it gets a decent amount of money, golds and there's a chance to get elite tomes from the bosses there. There are some videos that show you the run and the build on the 55 monk page. P.S: this is my first post and im not sure i did it right... Grim The Reap 17:54, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

This page needs to be fixed.
Some IP removed a huge section of this page. 24.233.254.51 23:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering
Why wouldnt a -5 damage reduction mod on a shield just do the trick? Can be that Im just asking a stupid question, but well Im still gonna ask it :)--Markisbeest 20:39, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Went looking around and I found this Order of damage modifiers ... with sheilds comming in before protective spirit it would seem that the sheilds modifiers come in to early to help protect anything... 192.203.160.241 20:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking through it. It however wouldve been really epic if it just worked :)--Markisbeest 21:00, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Additionally had it worked in the correct order after PS, it's -5/20% remember, so would only reduce the dmg 20% of the time if I'm thinking straight (Usaf1a8xx 19:50, 12 August 2010 (UTC))
 * -2/enchanted would be fun though :) -- Arduin  [[Image:User_Arduin_Companionship.jpg|15px|talk]] 20:06, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

you're forgetting even tho u might get all the -5 shield is offhand so u would be a 105 monk, therefor u can't use that shield at all , Buffy

55 Otherthings
Should we, at some point, mention 55 builds for other primaries? Specifically, I'm thinking of 55 necros, which in some cases can do more damage (boss farming) than 55 monklings. 69.249.223.63 18:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * still the 55hp necro uses a (kind of) 55hp monk build(which was the original) --Dragon7 cape emblem.png The Holy Dragons 15:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
