Curse

After terrible nagging and holy strikes during the middle of dinner, I decided to let my monkette do some farming. Since I don't like the 55 Monk, I had to think in the other direction.

I call this the HARDBOILED build for the following reasons:
1) No Superior Runes.
2) No Healing Prayers.
3) No Protection Prayers.
4) No tricky-dick equipment like the HoD sword.
5) "Mad Dog" could kick Chuck Norris' ass (watch the movie)

Miss Healbot told me to block out all the info so she could pretend to be "elite" for once. I told her that the folks at GWG will have it figured out immediately.

my hat goes off to you. You will now have a large mob of people experimenting trying to figure your build out. lol.... nice!

4 enchantments, watchful spirit being one, balthazar's spirit, perhaps Blessed Aura and essence bond

Maybe a Mo/R with Symbiosis granting health for enchantments.

Troll Uguent for healing

I'll guess SoJ for dealing damage for the time being.

Maybe a ranger stance or 2 for dodging.

Cool idea though

and sarcasm in 2...

This isn't anything extraordinary so I'll delineate:

Yes to Mo/R, since this is an attrition build that can use a little BM.

Shield of Judgement for the big chunk of damage.
Symbiosis for 800+ health to start with.
Watchful Spirit for slowing dmg and "safety boost" if cancelled.
Blessed Aura to boost SoJ.
Holy Wrath for non-scattering damage.
Retribution for even more.
Blessed Signet to recharge energy before and after fighting.
Signet of Devotion to stall health drop.

One Major Divine/Vigor, a +enchant duration axe, and the +45 HP icon from Droknar.

Simply put, the monsters melee themselves to death trying to chip away at your health bar. Even if one casting of SoJ is all you get before your energy evaporates, killing stragglers can be done with just the "reflected" attack damage and your wand/weapon of choice. Only tested on Minotaurs, Devourers, and Griffons so far (1-4 at a time).

Not great, but cheap.

Cool, I wouldn't have guessed Holy Wrath and/or Retribution. Neat idea none the less. I thought EB+BS would be overkill, but obviously energy isn't too important to this build

I was going to say Blessed Sig, but with my EB+BS guess there would be no reason for it

Nice use of Signet of Devotion.

Love the avatar btw! One of, if not the best I've seen on GWG
