I've got:
Divine Favor 9
Smiting 12
Healing 8

Using:
Balth Spirit
Divine Boon
Zealots Fire

I'm using all droknar armor, with a healing ankh that gives me a total of 52 energy, but -1 regen.

I've tried using proc spirit, reversal, essence bond, balth aura, ... I still die too fast even though I spam divine boon. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Dont use divine boon, dont use -1 regen gear, get yourself a good staff.
try this build: healing touch, orision, wrath of god, balths, zealots, smite hex, spellbreaker{e}.
change stats to 12+3 smite, 11+1 heal, 8+1 divine
you win!

jion, Divine boon works fine, use the search option, read up on some of the builds there. Off hand, i believe that anything that reduces ur energy regen as a monk is bad. I believe there is a good healing ankh somewhere in the desert behind the messa - 5 dessicated hydra claws. As for rod, most monks are screwed here. When i farm, i only use divine boon for my healing. Get protection BOND instead. Look up for the build that utilizes it.

kelvanor : wrath of god? u invented that spell?

My monk has 52 energy even without the - energy regen focus. Get ascetics set, and if you don't like the way you look, get some sacred pants. Then go to Henge of Denravi and buy the long sword. It gives + 5 energy.

Better yet, search these forums. There are tons of monk farming posts being posted everyday, you're sure to find your answer somewhere.
Hell, there are 4 farming posts on the front page of The Campfire.

You have the right stats but you want to get some runes.

What I used to run for a smiting monk would be
12 smiting +1 hat +3 rune
9 healing + 1
10 divine favor + 1

1. Shield of Judgement
2. Zealots Fire
3. Balthazars Aura
4. orison of healing
5. healing breeze
6. Dwayna's kiss
7. Symbol of Wrath
8. Balths spirit

Shield of judgement is the ultimate smiting skill. Does around 45 damage everytime an enemy attacks you and knocks them down, limiting how many times they can attack you. Keep Balthazar's spirit up at all times. I would start by casting zealots fire followed by shield of judgement once the enemy got within range. Use balthazars aura and then start spamming orison of healing and dwaynas kiss to activate the zealots fire. Bam.. your killing the enemy and your healing yourself.

Isn't Dwayna's Kiss a target other spell?
