Hi, I could really use some suggestions for a Factions only monk build, as I don't have access to the other versions of GW, and would rather get some feedback so I don't have to waste alot of money on skills that I would find not useful. So are there any Idea's? Wiki currently doesn't have any builds for a Core/factions build.;(, (this build would be for PVE or PVP)

Ki Chimera · Mar 01, 2007, 09:02 PM // 21:02

[skill]Blessed Light[/skill] is good

i would consider trying a Blessed Light build (more for PvP, but works ok in pve too) using prot spirit, Gift of Health, Reversal of Fortune, Signet of devotion, Mend ailment, Blessed Light, and probably dark escape + return, or other stuff for pve if you want (edit: like revealed hex/holy veil)

For healing, WoH is core, and you have ethereal light , healing whisper, orison, healing seed...etc.

Glyph of Lesser Energy + Heal Party (and other 10e skills) is pretty nifty

[EDIT (now that i'm at home and can use gwwiki)]
Spirit bond is also pretty nifty, but PS does about the same thing. Shielding hands is also pretty decent now that it has been buffed a bit. Don't rely too much on Wiki...there's an awful amount of chaff for the few good builds there.
If you ever want to get into more serious PvP, you will need to get the other chapters. NF has great elites ([skill=text]Light of Deliverance[/skill], [skill=text]Zealous Benediction[/skill], and [skill=text]Divert Hexes[/skill]), along with mending touch, dismiss condition, and shield of absorption (not so hot anymore) Prophesies has, well....mend condition, shield of deflection, and...uh, unyielding aura.
PvE-wise, a generic healing build will work fine. If you want to minimize the skills you need to buy, going with a prot/heal hybrid with blessed light works well enough
[skill]Reversal of Fortune[/skill][skill]Blessed Light[/skill][skill]Gift of Health[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Mend Ailment[/skill][skill]Signet of Devotion[/skill][skill]Revealed Hex[/skill][skill]Revealed Enchantment[/skill]

with olly123's attributes.
Protective Spirit can be replaced with [skill=text]Spirit Bond[/skill] or [skill=text]Shielding Hands[/skill]
the revealed skills are pretty much utility, you could bring a res (resurrection chant and rebirth are nice) or [skill=text]Power Drain[/skill] or GoLE + aegis or Heal Party (not too effective with such low prot and healing tho =\)
This works fine in PvE and PvP. But just work towards unlocking all the skills if you want to play your monk, since then you can tweak around with different skill combinations and adapt easier, even if it's only through balth. faction.

Can't help you much with a solo-ing build, since I haven't pve-ed in a long time. Not sure if it's possible anymore with just factions + core skills.

I would go with this build except replace mend ailment with mend condition.

Effigy · Mar 02, 2007, 01:20 AM // 01:20

Mend Condition is always a better choice than Mend Ailment in my book.

For the solo, I think you're gonna have tough time, since you dont have access to any of the necessary 55'er skills-not even SA. You could make something that would look like a sliver armor 55'er, though, I think.

Inichigo osani · Mar 02, 2007, 04:38 PM // 16:38

I don't see myself getting NF or Prophecies anytime in the near future, so please, no more sales pitches. Ty

Pick Me · Mar 02, 2007, 07:38 PM // 19:38

Mend Ailment > Mend condition because you can actually use it on... yourself.

Don't solo with the build that Ki has, you'll die. There is no offense at all. Ki's build is okay, but not for solo. Its only okay because no rez (which in a PUG bunch its really bad).

Hmmm...

Factions only monk healing build:

Blessed Light(e)
Mend Ailment
Etheral Light
Healing Whisper
Signet of Devotion
Mend Ailment
Remove Hex
Rebirth/Resurrection Chant

I like to go:

Divine Favor: 12 (+rune + head piece)
Healing Prayers: 12 (+rune)
Protecton: 3 (+rune)

But that's just me.

sucks is not the word, sucks is healing breeze what ur looking for is outdated. still goodstill used and stil lvery nice, about 150 heal ( +DF), and 1 hex and 1 condtion removed also. but jsut so u get divert and ZB doesnt mean it sucks

-Pluto- · Mar 03, 2007, 11:51 AM // 11:51

In general, I'd say Divert Hexes is probably superior to Blessed Light. You generally won't use it for the heal or the condition removal as much as you would for removing hexes, and other than healing for about 40 more, it's not as effecient.

However, that's assuming that you only use to remove hexes. The one thing that might make me use BLight over Divert Hexes is that BLight is more versatile. If you can't rely on another monk to support you, being able to use BLight as an emergancy self-heal + condition removal is awesome (you can't cast gift of health on yourself, after all). I'd probably still prefer ZB with a holy veil though. But BLight is still a respectable bar.

Now running a prophecies only monk on the other hand... That could be a bit more difficult.

The bar Ki Chimera posted looks fine.
