Curse

Note: I'm just posting my cookie cutter 55 build, if such a build already exists, I apologize.

Ok, I started a 55 monk for the farming purposes (duh). Since then I've been working my way up the food chain. At about level 11 I began power leveling myself at trolls, and now at level 15, I'm bored of them. So I decided to give Holy Griffins in snake dance a shot.

Equiped: Firey Flame Spitter of Enchanting (19%), and the -50 Cesta.
Runes: 1 of each, no fifth yet.
Attribs: (at lvl 15, no 15 attrib quests done)
Healing:9
Smiting:12
Protection:9
Divine Favor:7

Skills: Mending, Balthazar's Spirit, Healing Breeze, Protective Spirit, Zealot's Fire, Shield of Judgement.
Note: That's only 6 skills, the other two are your choice, I like to use Bonettis (for energy when I'm finishing off the survivors), and Sprint (just in case), neither are actually needed.

Start At Camp Rankor
Note: When you first walk out, walk to the left by the wall and check to see if any heretics spawned by the griffins, if they did, just walk in Rankor then back out.
The run is very quick. When you walk into snake dance use mending and balths spirit. Then just walk out and take down the few griffins that spawn right out front, you should be able to handle any azures that pop up near them without any problems.

Then its off to the big group to the left, There should be a large bunch of them. Here's the fun part. Normally, this many griffins would be a problem since all of them using symbol of wrath at once and attacking would create issues. The counter is easy, just use zealot's fire then use PS and HB with little to no time between them. This will make some of them scatter for a moment, so the symbol of wrath -and their attacks- are temporarily gone.
Other then that, just use SoJ whenever possible, and you're set.

Update: It's possible to make it to the first boss in snake dance, the boss itself is somewhat hard to kill, but all the griffons on the way are worth it.

Capping SoJ was a living hell. No group would take me so I had to hench it. The trick is to not be running a 55 build when you're capping it, and keep yourself alive. That way the henchies won't get themselves killed trying to res you. It only took like an hour or so tho.
