I have done this a few times and while it works I wish there was a way I could speed it up just a bit. I am to lazy to make a 55 monk from scratch and already have 4 characters. Energy when doing 1 on 1 with aataxes also can be a problem. Really good job though.

never fight aataxes one at a time, pull around 4 or 5 together, works best that way!

im wondering...would this work well in pvp? preferably CA?

I dunno, do 55hp builds usually work? I was under the impression.. not so much? I'd be really interested in seeing some NON-MONK Aura builds (I saw you just posted one to the build submission thread, actually, Lambent), think I might play with some a bit tonight (finally got around to capping the skill yesterday, heh)

I usually grab a bunch of aataxe at once but I find that often there is one who dies far after the others. I fixed it by taking some points and moving them to protection so i dont have to cast prot as often. Haven't died in Uw in a few days. Great build.

I love this build and use a variant on it to solo farm some of the less popular but more profitable areas.

As for tanking for an ss/sv in the UW, I prefer to use healing touch as opposed to OoH. It has a long recharge time but is only a 3/4 second cast as opposed to 1 second and is still a full heal. The shorter cast time means it's less likely to get interrupted, and the longer recharge shouldn't matter (if you need a full heal more than once every 5.75 seconds you're dead anyway). Also, that 1/4 second could make all the difference if you get the heal in a tenth of a second before the bad guy hits you.

very good point thank you, i'm going to make that change to my build!
