It totally depends on the situation and the enemies you farm.

Most relevant question is, of course, do they deal 60+ dmg?
If yes, you can use 605, else it's gg, but you die with 605, use 55.

Stuff like hydra's with Inferno (40 dmg or so) kill you because spirit bond doesn't trigger on this damage (it does on the rest though). Here you need a 55 monk to farm.

If you want to farm a lot of different enemies, go for 55, if you just want to do mino's/trolls 605 is easier imo.

If its UW then it'd depend entirely on the Cast Time and Recharge of Spirit Boon. If Healing Breeze is interrupted, you can recast it in 2 seconds and still live. If it had a recharge of 8 seconds, you'd be screwed.

Course it depends on your points or if your going solo... Sympathetic Visage from either you the necro and your not getting interrupted anytime soon.

spirit boon have 1/4 sec cast time and 2 sec recharge time. So it seems better than Breeze, if ur trying not to get interupted..

605 hp is better cuz u can tank as many as u want, u have more room for error´s its more flexible build, me and my brother can make it pass the Obisdian Behemoths with it. We are duo-ing the UW, with 2 monks.

Quests ure are currently able to do with the 605 build:

Escort The Souls
Restore The Monuments (only done The Ice Wastes, Forgotten Vale and Twin Serpent Mountains)
Clear The Camber
The Ice King (never tryed but with a modified build u can kill the Dryders faster.)
Unwanted Quests(we can get The Soul Keeper to 1/3 of his live the Spellbreaker e'nds and he will cast Lingering Curse that kills you so echo Spellbreaker would work )
Wrathfull Spirits

Still trying out new quests and going farther into UW.
Im not sure what skills the Necro's at the Bone Pits use but when we modify our build i think we are able to solo quite a bit of the UW.

Hey Mate, any tips on taking down the darkness'? When a friend and I duo UW with this build we struggle with the darkness, they don't hit hard enough from what we can tell.

Any tips welcomed.

Yeah done that already. Even lowered the AL by putting a sup rune on a tengu mask, the grasping darkness still kill us.

whats your 2ndary?
get creative, do normally silly things like the wrong mesmer stance for the job giving you a minus armor as a mesmer, bring along frenzy as a warrior or for even more healing while healing use a heal sig

use equipment with -armor, etc too as applicable/able
