Actually this build also relies on Sympathetic Visage/ Ancestor's Visage.

You'd have a hard time getting SS off with all the interrupts flying around..

Yeah, thats true, but sometimes what I do is I run like about 3 steps and then cast a spell, while im casting it they usually have to walk up to me which is how i safely cast retribution on my mo/me,

Hmm, I was thinking alot lately and I was wondering, do you think a 55 Warrior/Monk could do it, out of the top of my head im thinking

Totem Axe/ -55 Grim Cesta ~~ Maybe Switch off to Vamp Axe
All sup runes
= 55 hp?

Spirit Bond
Protective Spirit
Vigorous Spirit
Triple Chop {Elite}
Cyclone Axe
Blessed Signet (For Beginning)
Essence Bond
Balthazar's Spirit

You could cast the 2 enchantments at the beginning and then use prot / spirit like you would with the mesmer, and run like you normally would, But as you are about to catch the fourth group, castg Vigorous Spirit, then as they swarm around the Usual Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit, and then if you have it, switch to the vamp axe, and cast triple chop and cyclone axe over and over.

Not sure if it works, I was just thinking about it ill probably get around to testing it later.

If you're only getting 109g, you need to do about 5-10 long missions. Maybe then your drops will get better.

hmm has this spot been nerfed?

I somehow always die while luring the Shiro'Ken :S

I cast Essence Bond + Balthazar's Spirit, and then recharge my energy.

Then I hit Protective Spirit and Spirit Bond and I aggro, but I just die then, before even having the chance to aggro all of the shiro ken :S

(btw I am using totem axe)

Can any1 tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Oviron · Oct 07, 2006, 02:26 PM // 14:26

I had a problem there too. I did a few runs just fine, then I went out again and all of a sudden I was getting PS and SB interupted like crazy. I stil don't understand how AI can interupt a 1/4 second cast...i really really would like to be able to do that. After about 5 runs of interuption nonstop, i gave up and wennt elsewhere. But since then it's been fine. Maybe just a string of bad luck.

I have no problem with Shiro'ken farming

Are you running me or monk primary ?

Also make sure not to cast ps right after sb or viceversa because ai try to interrupt the first spell and get the next one instead.....

Oviron · Oct 07, 2006, 07:31 PM // 19:31

im running Mo/Me, and i always watch when i cast, so as not to spam back to back...the run is fine now, just those 5 runs or so

got to me.

i got them back though the next day...

XanderWhilkes · Oct 07, 2006, 09:43 PM // 21:43

Also, make sure you switch to your lower level armor. I forgot one day and couldn't figure out why I was dying so quickly. Nothing was interrupted or stripped, I just died. I finally figured out that my armor level was too high so the damage wasn't activating the SB healing. I switched to the correct armor and everything was fine.

Yeah the trick as monk is to time your spells and cast them when you are at a decent distance from the rangers

This may have been answered already, but I don't feel like looking through all 17 pages...

Do the effects from SV and AV stack? Or do you take both as a redundancy measure in case one gets interrupted?

both. one wil do the job just fine, but 2 will stack.

I still don't understand how the shiro'ken die.
