Hi all, well the reason im posting this is because my alliance and guild hate me right now so they dont really talk to me

...but anyway, i wanted to know which is better? 55HP or 600 monk for farming? I know that 600 is used in UW and FoW alot for farming, but i just wanted to make sure which is better before i put the money in for the skills, equiptment, ect...And where else can i farm with the build. Basically all im asking is for, which is better in your opinion, effectiveness, what equiptment, skills, armor, runes and insigs, and where can i use it at.

~if this is in the wrong area, im sorry

, and im noob to farming with monk so please help out the best you can, thanks!

600 is best.

You can farm all the games everywhere with the right sort of 600 build.

600 is also used in soloing the majority of or all lvls of multiple dungeons in the same or less time that it would take a full team to do. i would suggest u learn how to 600 ;-)

600/smite works the best, but for UW i would say 55HP/SS
bit faster and you can fully clear UW if you are good enough

600 is for working with a partner, while 55 can run almost any area it works in solo. Some places will use a partner for a 55, but I haven't seen anyone using a 600 solo build anywhere yet, while 55 runs a lot of areas solo.

55 armor and 600 armor both can be extremely cheap. Since you take 5 damage no matter that your armor level is on a 55, you can use starter armor, or 15 AL armor from the earliest armor crafter. 600 armor NEEDS to be as low a level as you can get, so again, starter armor or 15AL. I highly recommend investing in both for flexibility, but if you know someone to partner with, or have a hero you can use then 600 is more versatile in what it can farm.

600hp solo is very easy to use with RoJ as elite, to do the damage. Can use if practicly anywhere where you dont need Spell Breaker.

Also there is a very comon 600hp solo build, still I like 55hp better. I must say there is no future in this though, better go start playing monk in elite areas.

Whether you 600 or 55, if you are depending on [Spirit Bond] as your source of healing, you need to have Starter (15AL) armor. Otherwise, you run the risk of SB not triggering, meaning, you get no healing = death.

I 600 Solo Nahpui Quarter on my Monk, I 600/Smite Duo quite a few areas, and I 55 Solo a few areas. It all depends on whether or not you want to play by yourself, with a Hero or Heroes, or with a Human Partner.

600 and 600/smite can farm pretty much everything. It eventually comes down to which (55 or 600) you prefer, though. It's important to note, as Tyrael mentioned, that no matter if you're using 55 or 600hp, you will need 15 AL armor in order to guarantee that Spirit Bond will trigger.

As for me, I prefer to run with 55hp because it's what I'm most comfortable using and I feel that it's the more versatile of the two options (600 has more "required" skills).

600 is best. Leave Guild/Alliance Join Better one. Why stay in an alliance that hates you when you can be in a guild/alliance that loves you? Just my 2 cents.
