The last 200k is hell to get (my opinion) because at that stage, you have to take risks. Guess which part of the title I"m stuck on?

Or you could just continue to farm certain areas, such as The Wajjun Bazaar or Kilroys Punchout Extravaganza. Running 2000+ HP in Wajjuns with 9 pips of regen and Spirit Bond is a very small risk.

Well, let's check this out.

Heros:

Run Two Hero monks on a survivor. They will provide much needed COMPETANT healing. You will find them superior to henchman monks because:

~Better Control
~8 Skill Bar Vs. 5 Skill Bar
~Smarter AI
~You can Provide better Equipment

I usually run Dunkoro On a WoH or LoD, and Talhkora on a ZB Prot. On top that, Mhenlo normally joins my party, but since you're a monk, I don't think that's nescasarry.

As for your third hero, that all depends.

~If you know you will be entering.....

-A Zone with mobs that are fleshy and do not spike
Bring an MM hero or an AoE Elementalist hero, I usually go with the latter.

-A Zone with very strong Casters
A BHA/inturupt Ranger or an Anti Caster Mesmer

-A Zone with very violent Spikes
A ritualist with Shelter, Union Etcetera, or another protection monk.

-A Zone with very strong physical attacks
An Anti Melee Mesmer

By the way, I just completed my Secondary LS yesterday, Kudos to me. I can tell you how I got it.

My party usually consists of two monk heros, a third hero depending on the situation, and Mhenlo, Devona, Cynn, and Eve. They're all very effective henchman and will provide good healing, good damage, and great performance.

I henched/Heroed my way through the campaigns, doing all the quests as I went along, asking guildmembers to help me with the harder missions and quests.

My advice to you is to get to Cantha, do the high experience and repeatable quests, and capture the skills on double cap weekends. I got over 300,000 experience within a few hours capping skills this past weekend with my paragon, and got him to LS. It's a very easy way to go about it, and it costs very little considering what you get.

That's my personal advice, good luck with your monk.

Oh, and..

ALWAYS Carry a hard resurect on your bar. Resurection Chant, Flesh of my Flesh, or Rebirth. This way, if you run, and your henchman don't make it, you don't have to rezone to kill the mob again.

well I got survivor(1) on my paragon just completing Nightfall missions and every quest I could find before even getting the primary to complete docks. It was really easy. I used Olias as a MM, Dunkoro and a random third hero. Right now I'm working on survivor(2) but have completed all the quests I could find in the training area of elona. I completed docks with ease but my group attacked the last guards before I could complete the bonus... oh well a re-do lol. This one will be a bit more time consuming I'm sure...

You can't see me: I can never get Tahlkora to cast ZB. She just won't. I've rearranged her bar and did all sorts of things but she never casts ZB in battle. I could be under 30% and dying and she still won't heal me. I give her Shield of Regen because she will cast it w/o hesitation. She just uses Channeling as energy management now. *lol*

I can't agree on your choice in henchmen. I find Herta, Sogolan, Kihm, and Gerhaz(he doesn't really matter but I like Dervs) to be the best combo for Survivor. Herta and Sogolan are great support guys. Especially Herta. Ward Against Melee is especially helpful. Sogolon's extra healing and ranged damage ensures that he stays alive more often than not. Kihm, unlike Tahlkora, uses ZB w/o hesitation. So I generally combo Dunk and Kihm.

She always casts it for me. I can't really help you on that one. But if you prefer SoR, then that's you.

As for your henchman, I made my list to adhere to all campaigns. I'll replace a few on that list from campaign to campaign, but those are the best that I find to be the best. And Khim, unlike Tahlkora, for me, can seem to use her skilsl when she needs to, and dies on large mobs very often.

No one ever thought of HFFF (Hero Fast Faction Farming)?

I'm 200.000 XP away from R3 because of it in just 2 weeks of full HFFFing.
