On wiki under the pvp section it says the Underworld tank is a good alternative to the 55hp monk, I was wondering thats 2 man right? 1 ele and 1 necro? and also is it run the exact same way for the necro? thanks in advance. link

I think what you refer to is the 600/smite , the tank is 600 hp monk and the smite is 16 smite and 15 prot ( u can do 16 prot by swapping head sets and get 16/16 ).
Ive tried both 55 and 600 teams and both have good and bad parts
Pro`s
55 is self reliant for bonds etc and can tank a lot ( ive tanked 12 vengefulls for 5 mins before dying - was new territory lol )
With ss necro a lot of things will die fast but smites take a few mins.

600 can tank more and in tight situation ( losing bonds ) can still survive

Cons
enchant stripping on 55 can mean instant death
600 can get energy problems but nothing major
600/bonder can take down melee and smites fast but coldfires take ages to kill

There are more but it does even out - one can be faster than the other at stages.

I tend now to do 3 or 4 man teams with 2 necros - necros are dmg and bip so energy doesnt become an issue.

Personally id say try both as armor for the 600 is cheap as hell and you dont get stuck as 1 build/type - the 55 lfp calls in Toa lol

Ok its early morning and i didnt read right - id say go monk .
Also weird seeing that build - both you and necro carry visage tho i know necro is your "keeper and protector" for visage use and if you both apply it you lose some effect - x2 visage at same time dont give x2 the effect sadly.
