its not really meant for pvp if thats what your thinking. its mainly a farming and in some cases a running build.

xerverkillah · Aug 01, 2006, 04:07 AM // 04:07

its a special build people use to solo farm
5x superior runes = 105hp
+ -50hp grim cesta = 55hp hence the name 55monk

since protective spirit lower all damage down to 10% of ur max health all damage is only 5. With mending + healing breeze on u can easily regain that health

This is a PvE build mind you..

Backfire's Dmg is reduced by Prot Spirit I Beleive And you can time around Enchant Strips.

Mesmers only hard because most pack Interupts, which WTFPWNS a 55 if the enemy is too good at it.

Lifesteal annihilates a 55 hp monk tho

Hence why the location to 55 is carefully chosen in the farmer's favor- lots of enemies and no unfriendly skills nearby. Examples are the troll cave outside Droknar's Forge and the minotaurs in the beginning area of Elona Reach.

But a modded 105Hp can do just fine if only 1 necromancer is using 1 lifestealing skill and such.

The 55 is alittle more versitile than some make them...

little more versitle is an understatement. i have beat propechies with my 55 from start to finish. if you get good even if there mesmers and necros around u can deal with them fairly easily.

as 1 of my favorite spots had lots of mesmers in it. till they removed the great golden chests
