55 breeze monk - need -50 offhand, cant smite off of it, can die fairly easily in big pulls

SoA monk - dont need -50 offhand, can smite off of it (works with 600+health), dosnt die in big pulls

there ya go

and bout the aggro scatter, we did solve that...

other than pulling smaller groups... traping behind the tanker on smite.. and tanking ranged guys... i have no clue what he is talking about

JoJ · Nov 08, 2006, 06:17 AM // 06:17

He may be inferring that aggro scatter primarily only happens when fighting melee mobs. I've yet to lose a ranger/caster's aggro while using SoJ. That's why if you look, almost all the screenshots are SoA monk vs ranged enemies (tusked howlers, Ice imps, Siege Ice Golems, Rockshot Devourers, Avicara Fierce, etc).
But, since I'm not in his head, I could be way off and making a fool out of myself >_< ...

boxterduke · Nov 08, 2006, 04:03 PM // 16:03

Maybe he meant aggro a group of 3 melee monsters, that works for vermins and smaller groups, but in places like Elona and Troll, it just does not work.

Tookis Elite · Nov 08, 2006, 08:52 PM // 20:52

the secret to aggro is!!!!

ranged farming yay!....

or small melee groups

Everytime you get hit it adds another 5 dmg onto the absorption.

Example

1 hit -5dmg
2 hit -10 dmg
3 hit -15 dmg

so on to -20, -25 -30 -35, -40,-45. It lasts what.. 7 seconds at 16 prot, so about 5 seconds plus the 50% long enchants so 10 seconds, depending on how many enemies you're fighting you can take up to probably around 30 or so hits in that 10 second span giving you 150 dmg reduction before it ends.

Im sorry but i have to make a request that people who read this post do not pm me ingame.

I had a ton of great questions and seggestions in the first few days of this post. and all was fine.

but unfortunatly recently i have had hundreds upon hundreds of terrible pm's asking me questions that have already been answerd in this post...

they are questions like: what weapon do you use. or what offhand do you use.. or how much life does your build have.. or why am i dying... im sorry but these are not questions i care to take the time to answer.

And please do not pm me asking for a "great drops spot to farm"

i have posted all my spots that i farm.. i have no more.

once again sorry for asking this. but its really hard to play and answer countless pm's at the same time.

I thought it was a hero skill unlock? If you look at the hero skill guy in Kamadan, i think he has it, and once you unlock it for your hero's it will be available at all skill traders.

novawhiz · Nov 08, 2006, 11:37 PM // 23:37

ooooooooh!

So i just need to get monk hero?

Anyone know where i can quest for him.(I transfered my charracter from tyria to kamadan

Off topic but...

How do you get pics in your post? When i uplod one it makes it an attachment

FyrFytr998 · Nov 09, 2006, 02:38 AM // 02:38

Okay....I am so loving this build. Can anyone confirm or deny that SoA is getting looked at by ANET. Rumor has it that it's overpowered in GvG and a guild held HoH 35 conescutive times with it.

If true, then once again the PvP realm is making life miserable for the PvE players, lol. I guess I better farm it for what it's worth until the good old NERF bat comes along.

Lol, you would figure they'd have scenarios like this taken into account when creating such skills.

Wolf vom Glan · Nov 09, 2006, 05:15 AM // 05:15

Well, somebody had to post this principal. I came up with the same idea and wondered when it would be posted in a forum.

However, for dealing damage I chose another way, which I will share (not the detailed build, this is guild lore, but you may find out yourselves).

I did not use mending or signet. Omitting mending I have 1 point mor energy reg. SoA and Protecting spirit suffice to survive most of the time.

I wreck damage with SoJ (good for killing distance-fighters, throwing down attackers) and zealots fire (english is not my native toungh, soory when I make mistakes or sound strange). This I trigger with Protecting Spirit SoJ, SoA and Orison of healing in quick succession - three times zealots fire, if it SoJ is available four times.

Orison of healing wrecks damage through zealots fire and heals whatever damage you take. I can even outheal bleeding and poison. So I save two slots (mending, signet). As I said, orison heals AND triggers damage. What do I do with the spare slot?

Yes, you say the mobs will run away. This is the reason I am Mo/E. If they want to run - freeze them and they have to eat the damage from zealots. I use frozen burst which adds some damage too.

If there is only one or two mobs left I keep up protecting spirit and SoA waiting for SoJ to kill them if they have high hp. If their live ist low I risk loosing all energy and kill them with orison and SoA - well it is experience when it works - if you run out of energy.... you have to experiment or be patient.

Here you go.

Answered in the first page.. sumone asked if it can be found in kamadan or wtvr and he said ye

PS. Nice build im gona try it out now

Pojnx · Nov 09, 2006, 01:30 PM // 13:30

I tried and works rly nice

Imps - Ok.. died once with imps, spamed skills, ran out of energy, interupted, dead.. second time i agroed a large group and managed.. tho 2 imps werent taking in dmg wen atacking me.. strange..

Howlers - Np at all, infact i managed with degen too lol..

Jade Brotherhood - Works great no problems at all..

Consulate Docks - I also tried to solo Consulate Docks Mission lol.. Managed to solo the first few groups including the elites up the stairs on the left and then died at the Captain.. I think my enchants were stripped..

The only thing that bothers me is that they dont die on the first Soj.. u have to stay waiting for recharge etc... i know smite cant get any higher than 14 coz u need the divine and prot for it to work.. i was thinking of ss instead of soj but then it would have 12 since necro is secondary.. and zealots fire wont help since most of the attackers are ranged and stay back {you have to stay playing about to get them near each other and they will scatter too} Edit: I just read wat Wolf Vom Glan said and think theres too much running around and playing about to kill them.. if it was a small group maybe but not a large group

EDIT: Maybe retribution ? will try later..
