Introduction:
This is a combination of the Famine Build and the SS Build. Some things might not be possible, because you don't have Spellbreaker, but it's faster then both of the builds I mentioned above for farming certain enemies.

The Mo/R:
12 Wilderniss Survival
Other attributes are personal preference

1. Protective Spirit
2. Spirit Bond
3. Famine [Elite]
4. Savage Shot
Other skills are personal preference

Just the basic PS/SB build with minor tweaks. Use Famine before battle (might finish 2 battles with one Famine). Make sure you have a bow to interupt the Dying Nightmares (be careful that you don't pop up 2 Dying Nightmares, unless you take 2 interupts), you should also get a second set to switch to. This might also be possible with a 55 Hp build, but as you need Healing Prayers with a 55 Hp build, I do not recommend this, as you've got other things to spend your points in.

The N/Me:
16 Curses
13 Soul Reaping
9 Illusion Magic

1. Spiteful Spirit
2. Arcane Echo
3. Sympathetic Visage
4. Ancestor's Visage
5. Reckless Haste
Other skills are personal preference

Make sure Sympathic or Ancestor's Visage is on at all times (this is what triggers Famine). Also, Reckless Haste increases both Spiteful Spirit and Famine, so this skills is even more important now. Other then that, it's just the usual SS concept.

You can also let the Necromancer take a Mesmer interupt instead, but that's a bit more dangerous, as then the Necromancer might take the aggro.

Reckless's miss chance counteracts sympathetic, not helps it.

And the tank should be of variable health with some regen for the squids.

I think 55 monk and ss necro is faster then everyone else , i've done monk tank/ smite and rit tank/smite , they just fail to kill coldfires fast enough for my taste.

actually 55hp has nowhere near the aggro capability of a SB monk, so less can be tanked at a time, and rit tank Smite Does the same damage as 3 SS's, so an SS would have to put 4 SS's on Instantly to match the damage, the math doesnt lie

Rit+monk kills coldies slightly slower (prehaps at 60-70% speed) but the massive boon in speed on the rest of the run makes this neglegable

All that AND the fact that it's life stealing the rit is doing, therefore the smite crawlers cant use reversal of fortune to counter any of the dmg.
