You can also use sprint for a few min. as well and balance stance.

Every time the enemy misses you get energy.

This means if a monk only has 100 health, they only EVER take 5 damage when attacked. As long as they maintain that enchantment they loose health very, very slowly. whereas if they have 480 health they'd be taking 24 damage - and 5 health is easier and quicker to heal than 24 health.

This means that they can run healing enchantments like Healing Hands, Healing Breeze, Mending, etc and never ever loose health. Like take Healing Hands - heals for 5-21 points whenever the target is attacked. Thus with Protective bond on... they take 5 damage, then with Healing Hands on they get healed straight away for 5 damage. Thus they will never die as long as those enchantments are in place.

and to note - the max of healing hands is 21 health, so you'd still be dying with protective bond if you were at 480 health. This is why they use superior's to drop their health.. to get to the point where they only loose 5 health per hit.. so that through use of spells such as healing hands, healing breeze, etc they never have to worry about dying.

course the moment they get enchantments removed.. they die extremely fast :P

Edit - to counter the energy loss, have high protection attribute as Zenny mentioned. Thus you'd only loose 1 energy per hit. You can also use Balthazar's Spirit so you gain energy per hit - even if it takes away a energy regen arrow to do so... but with bath's up and being hit you'd always have energy... esp if you have high protection attribute..

Balthazar's Spirit, and Essence Bond, to counter eneregy loss.

And I think that Anet will nerf UW smite farming soon enough. Maybe add a mesmer class with shatter enchantment, or necro rend enchantment. Ofcourse that would hurt regular parties too, but the price of runes is insane.

ok to clear up a few things:

A) the smit emonk build is not only for farming UW, i havent gone exploring to find new areas but i have one that suits me just fine

B) UW has already been nerfed. the drops there are horrible, i started doing UW smite runs on my monk i did it 3 or 4 times, never got anything mroe than a few purples and some remains.

C) this build is no where near invincible, as many people have said all it takes is one mesmer or necro to ream this build a new butthole.

like i said i havent explored for any new farming spots, because mine works just fine. but im sure you could find some if you looked

oh, and im not going to tell you where it is, because since ive seen these threads popping up everywhere ive noticed alot of monks going in and out of the area i start from...by themselves....so unless they are all just idiots, they are farming too, so dont bother asking me, or PMing me please

Yeah I'm sure that anyone that posted their farmsite before only for it to be nerfed, is really kicking themselves now.
