I don't know if you seen the mes duo uw build, but with 1 minor adjustment it is superior to the Mo/W 55 build. I maybe wrong but unless 3 night mares pop up at once and your nec can kill them all in 15 secs, then the mes 55 build is far superior. Actually you could go Mo/Me and be better but who does that?

I run the me/mo build that was previously posted, except I drop SV for MoResolve. This frees up attribute points, so your SoD is at 68% +26 armor.

I can tank anything. I mean with, Balth, Essence, I have more than enough nrg to spam skills, which when I have 12+ smites I do get nervous, but my health barely(relativrly speaking) moves.

If a Mo/W could bring an interupt, it would pwn.

Bonetti's 75% 8 aderaline
SoD 68% 6 secs recharge, infinte nrg

I know it hurts but its true.

. . . ? Sry to ask but how can 1 interupt be better than: Spellbreaker, DF bonus, Blessed signet and Bonettis for energy management.. Also: If the monk wanted he could also Bring Essence instead of Blessed Aura. He could also bring SoR as his elite, and he could also bring Mantra of Resolve if he wanted.. But most dont becouse Spellbreaker is normally far better than an interupt..

Edit: Also i suppose that your talking about going with an SS necro: If you leave your SV at home.. This is kinda forcing the Necro and Go /Me to get SV to drain the smiters for energy. And then losing the Hard rez option that you get for having SV on the Tank.. {/Edit}

Becouse even tho i have only been into UW a very few times on a 2man team, i still know that 1 interupt dont work all that good vs 6+ Dyders.

Edit2: Sure, a mesmer i pretty good, pretty much the best Non monk 55 tank imo. But saying its better is pretty hard. Seeing how the Mesmer must go /Mo, and the Monk can go with whatever.. {/edit}

You can tank 15~ smites with 10 prot SoD, but the loss of spellbreaker forever makes the mesmer weaker than the monk as a 55 tank. However, this doesn't mean you cant kill mindblades and terrorwebs...

Well i belive that a monk with Bonettis also can tank 15~ smiters if he know what he is doing (No i dont know what im doing when im there). And being able to kill dyders and mindblades (witch sounds like its pretty hard for a mes) dont really makes up for the threadstarters statement, about the Me/Mo being better than a Monk..

Sry to ask but are you saying that the nec is the one who should kill the nightmares? Becouse as far as i know its the monk who is the one who needs to be killing them. The necro can help if he can, but its the monk who should do it.

Monks can tank 15 smites if they know what they are doing, this is true. DF bonus also helps alot, and they can tank coldfires as well as smites with SB up too.

It's the monk's job to kill nightmares, but SB allows the monk to safely aggro a larger area in the chamber.
