55[Insert Profession Here] Question - Guild Wars Forums

I've heard about 55 builds. But I can't seem to understand the purpose or reason for a build that lowers your hp to such a low amount. Any insight would be nice.

When your health is 55, and you cast protectvie spirit on yourself, attacks only take 5 health away. With the spell mending, you can quickly recover from 5 damage, to the point where you can tank (almost) anything.

This is a quick an dirty explanation to give you the gist; there's actually more to it...but you should get the idea
