They use protective bond to have damage reduced to 5% and a healing spell, either divine boon or healing breeze. With low HP you only take around 5 dam per attack and can heal quickly, thus it makes soloing much easier.

105 and 55 are due to what their health is.

105 happend after every piece of armor has a superior rune on them.

55 is when they're holding an off-hand item that reduces there health by another 50.

Do you have a different health reducing off-hand item? or what are you using to lose that additional 20?

yeah it's a -20 to health, +12 engy +5 armor. I like using it for the u/w you only get -4 dmg. I use the 55 build for Riveview P. works good for that spot for me.

I begin to find it quite funny seeing people wanting to solo everything with a 55hp monk; and they are wondering why they die. It has only 55hp.. and works against mele type only (except some caster like terrorwebs and coldfire). You won't manage to handle mesmer, necro with that build. Stop thinking this is the perfect build, it isn't, it's only 1 build working really great against 1 type of monsters.

Dont take me wrong, I love this build, I've been in UW quite a lot lately, I'm quite rich and got some nice items from these runs; but don't forget this build was designed to handle a section of UW.. not everything.
