if you "herd" a group of 6-9 mantle and start the combo, in less than 20 seconds they all will be dead if you did the sequence right.

What is the right sequence, if I may ask?

well, for the sequence, you will need a full energy bar.

start off by casting either zealots fire or healing breeze.

make your second cast the one that you didnt do from the above.

3rd cast is shield of judgement.,
then just spam your other skills as soon and fast as you can and this includes repeating healing breeze since it has a very low recharge time.

repeating the skills over and over is not for your health, its for your maximum damage output with zealots fire. but i have chosing healing skills or should i say, damage modifiers to help keep you alive.
shielding hands is uber with this build, it makes all the regular attacks by the mantle = zero damage to you. and "watch yourself" also lowers the damage from their attack skills.

so spam away all the skills you can before shield of judgement ends, and by the time it ends, all your foes should be dead with their loot lying right next to them.

I can't get past how it wouldn't be better just to use a Mo/W for this. The energy boost is just much better. Of course the lack of numbers on Balthazars Spirit makes it kind of a gray area, but the AL doesn't matter that with all the healing and boosts.

actually yes it does.

the Physical Armor for a monk can be as much as 40 less than a wariror. thats a huge damage intake difference.

i dont think a monk could take on more than 6 mantle like this, where as the warrior can take on as many as 15 and still survive.

i think we all know first hand how bad it hurts when you got 60 AL and are gettin pounded by melee attacks.

Why not use Warrior skills to fight them.. that way you can take advantage of the runes and weapons.

You can farm a lot faster with a warrior too because you can sprint pass insignificant locations and go straight for the zealots, hill giants.

tektonik · Apr 20, 2005, 06:07 AM // 06:07

blah simple post cause I feel lazy

Mo/x

x Smite
x Protection
x Healing

Skills
Zealots fire
Balthazar's Spirit
Healing Breeze
Reversal of Fortune
Shielding Hands
Retribution
x
x

Balthazar's Spirit -> Retribution agros x ammount of melee goodness. Prot Spirit -> Shielding hands -> Healing breeze ->Spam Reversal FTW

rince repeat?

PS: I dont care if it works if you think this is worth while good for you Ill go farm something better.

So, this biuld is only good for the end game? Can you start off and progress into this? I mean with no points into any weapon spec, would you not do alot of dmg with your weapon at the beginning?

Or is it best to get just up to the higher levels, then switch to something like this?

since i never took more than 36 dmg from their best skill, its a total waste.

10% of my max health at the time was like 53+ so id only benifit from this skill if i was taking huge damage.

now this skill would be great if you used superior runes and used them on a very low lvl character.

Looking at your SS you took 41 quite a bit and with out SS you would have taken more than 48 plus the fact pro spirit was being used to defend how a Mo/X could do this better.

@Tek
Reversal of Fortune is pretty trashy without the Divine Favor bonus.

Eh like I said its a first shot and I really dont care much for it :-/ I made it up in 10 seconds there are bound to be holes. I think the real point is why bother doing this?

Hi there,

In your suicide monk build. Is that a build you started from scratch, or did you get up in level first before switching to it?

The reason I ask is with no weapon skill early on, was it difficult to kill things?

Im thinking of tryng your build, and just wanting to know the above.

Thanks.
