I was wondering if you can still use the 55hp monk build? They nerfed all the skills so does it still work? Also are their any other good smite builds that can kill many enemies fastly?

Thanks for the help.

I have been noticing a new kind of PVP monk/smiter (mo/E) using glyph of renewal, divine spirit, glyph of lesser energy thus firing off balthazars for a cost of 10 and getting off those zealots spam spells for a cost of 1. They seem to have lmitless energy and because of the high divine favour needed to run divine spirit effectively they are also healing pretty reasonably with those spam spells, unlike the old e/mo smiters.

Obviously this build shares the weakness of all the other glyph renewal/divine spirit monks (ie mesmers and to a lesser extent necros eat them for breakfast) but this weakness is less lethal probably in a smiter than it would be in a healer or prot. Nice build for arenas I think, and possibly for certain specific 8v8 builds - pet smiting? i dont know about that though.

Dont know anything about farming builds so i cant help you there.

I can farm griffons with this build and if you get caught with minotaurs this can take them out too.

Shield of Judgement
Orison of Healing
Healing Touch
Healing Breeze
Symbol of Wrath
Batlhs Aura
Zealots Fire
Balths Spirit

I use:

14 Healing (1 + 1)
12 Smite (+1)
7 Divine (+1)

Pretty standard, Healing Breeze isn't even really used I just find it a nice safety measure to have seconds before you decide to run in so you have mild heals while you begin to smite. I find only 2 or 3 griffons will attack and 1 will be left hurt or not, just use Zealots and wait or the recharge on Symbol Of Wrath and continually heal. After that its no problem. Make sure your energy and health is full before going in to battle also, low energy is certain doom.
