alright whenever i try and go out farming anywhere i got my mending on (+4) and i put on protective spirit, but it just seems that the first group some how 1 hits me even though i have prot spirit...any suggestions? just so you know im very new at this...

You also put on Healing Breeze, so if there are larger mobs on you, you don't die.

If you're talking about "I'm actually taking damage!", then: Yes, when you put on Protective Spirit you do take damage, but Healing Breeze + Mending should negate it in no time.

no, i mean while im taking the light damage that the mending is regaining, i seem to get with 1 big hit...could a spell do it?thats what im thinking it is...

Dont use Mending if you man enough... i mean if your skilled enough Take healing breeze. and take blath aura and the one skill that makes enchanments last longer.

And where are you farming?

Shield of Judgement. Just how are you killing anything anyway?

Farm places without mesmers and Necros to start. Try griffons, Trolls, Minatours, Sand Giants.

Alright, I have a solution to your problem, I had the same one in FoW (and still do

)

I'm going to be completely honest with you all, I have never had a 55 Monk, but I know how they work. I have had a 55 Necro, and he uses SS as a source of dmg, but that is for another day.

However, you can keep SoJ with you with this solution (compliments of Godlike Satan, who provided the solo necro build for me). And as an added bonus, your secondary profession doesn't have to change for this one!

You need vigorous spirit. I highly suggest your build goes as follows:

~Protective Spirit
~Healing Breeze
~Vigorous Spirit
~SoJ
~Aftershock (or some other multiple enemy dmg spell, NO AoE)
~Essence Bond
~Mending
~Balthazar's Spirit

Here's what you do: If you see a mesmer-type enemy in a group you want to kill, simply cast protective spirit, then healing breeze, then vigorous spirit. The vigorous spirit stays on for 30 secs, and your protective spirit will stay up after you had shatter enchant done to you, thus negating the dmg you WOULD'VE taken. The only hard part about this is that you absolutely need to make sure that mesmer is dead fast, because unless there is another type of degen-maker in that group, he/she is your worst enemy. At all times, make sure you have that protective spirit covered by another enchantment, or else you WILL die from that shatter enchant. I hope this helps your 55 monk-ing.
